About
Hyunghwa Lee is a researcher dedicated to improving the quality of life for older adults, particularly those living with dementia, through the integration of robotics and care programs. Her key research areas include dementia care, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology for the elderly. Lee’s major contribution is the development and evaluation of the Dementia-Care-Robot Integrated Program, which leverages telepresence robots like “Giraff” to facilitate meaningful communication between individuals with mild dementia and their families in long-term care settings. Her 2020 study, which has garnered 2 citations, demonstrated the feasibility of using such robots to enhance social engagement and emotional connection, addressing a critical need for maintaining relationships in institutional care. This work highlights her innovative approach to blending technology with compassionate care, offering practical solutions for aging populations. Lee’s research not only advances the field of gerontechnology but also provides a replicable model for integrating robotics into dementia care, making her a notable figure in the intersection of healthcare and robotics.
