About

In Ho Han is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare robotics, human-robot interaction (HRI), and spinal care. His work focuses on developing and evaluating robotic systems—from social and medical service robots to wearable exoskeletons—that enhance patient outcomes and alleviate clinical burdens. Han’s most cited paper, "Human-Robot Interaction and Social Robot: The Emerging Field of Healthcare Robotics and Current and Future Perspectives for Spinal Care" (2024, 21 citations), provides a forward-looking framework for integrating humanoid and social robots into spinal treatment. His 2021 cross-sectional study on user perception of medical service robots in hospital wards (9 citations) is a foundational contribution, revealing critical insights from patients, doctors, and nurses that inform robot design and deployment. Han also advances rehabilitation technology through his work on exoskeleton-assisted gait training for spinal disease patients with gait disturbance (2022, 3 citations), demonstrating tangible improvements in mobility and quality of life. Notably, his 2024 survey on nurses’ perceptions of medical service robots in negative-pressure isolation wards during COVID-19 (2 citations) addresses urgent workforce challenges, highlighting robots’ potential to reduce infection risk and workload. With a growing citation record and a focus on real-world clinical translation, Han is shaping the future of patient-centered robotic care.
