About
Dr. Jenny Lee is a leading researcher in geriatric technology and socially assistive robotics, with a focus on improving quality of life for people with dementia. Her most cited work, a 2015 study protocol for a randomized controlled trial on the therapeutic pet robot PARO, has garnered 154 citations and established her as a key figure in human-robot interaction for elderly care. Dr. Lee’s major contributions center on demonstrating how PARO can enhance mood, stimulate social interaction, and foster communication among individuals with dementia, offering a non-pharmacological intervention that reduces agitation and loneliness. Her rigorous methodology, including single-blind RCT designs, has set a benchmark in assistive robotics research. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Lee has advanced the field by integrating robotics with psychosocial care models, influencing both clinical practice and technology development. Her work has been widely recognized for its translational impact, bridging engineering and gerontology. For students and researchers, Dr. Lee exemplifies how interdisciplinary approaches can address pressing global challenges in aging populations, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of compassionate, technology-driven elder care.
