About

Jean-Paul Peronard is a leading researcher at the intersection of technology adoption and consumer well-being, with a particular focus on the transformative impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). His work critically examines how emerging technologies—from robotics to digital health tools—reshape consumer experiences and societal welfare. Peronard’s most cited paper, “Opportunities of and threats to consumer well-being in the age of Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) technologies” (2021, 12 citations), provides a seminal framework for understanding the dual-edged nature of technological progress across key sectors like healthcare. This work is complemented by his earlier comparative study, “Readiness for Living Technology: A Comparative Study of the Uptake of Robot Technology in the Danish Health-Care Sector” (2013, 7 citations), which empirically explores workforce readiness for robotics, revealing critical gaps between high- and low-preparedness groups. Through these contributions, Peronard has advanced practical insights for policymakers and industry leaders navigating the ethical and human-centered deployment of automation. His research stands as a vital resource for students and scholars seeking to balance innovation with consumer protection in an increasingly digitized world.
