About

Dr. Jai-Yon Lee is a leading scholar in nursing robotics and geriatric care innovation, whose work addresses the pressing challenges of aging societies. Her research centers on the integration of assistive technologies—particularly care robots—into nursing services, with a focus on enhancing patient safety and reducing caregiver burden. In her highly cited 2018 study, “Nurses’ needs for care robots in integrated nursing care services” (98 citations), Dr. Lee conducted a seminal needs assessment among nurses, identifying priority robotic functions such as patient monitoring and mobility assistance. This work directly informed the development of Korea’s integrated nursing care system, which aims to replace informal caregivers with professional, technology-enhanced care. By bridging robotics and clinical practice, Dr. Lee has shaped policy discussions on how to prepare for a super-aged society. Her contributions have been recognized through national research grants and collaborations with engineering teams, positioning her as a key voice in human-centered robotics. For students and researchers, her work offers a compelling model of how nursing science can proactively shape the future of elderly care through evidence-based technology adoption.
