About
Dr. Jeungkun Kim is a leading scholar in gerontechnology and cross-cultural human-computer interaction, with a focused expertise on how sociocultural contexts shape technology adoption among older adults. Her most cited work, "Sociocultural Differences in Accepting Technology for Older Adults Between South Korea and the United States" (2021), critically examines the rapid influx of Western-designed technologies into Korean markets, revealing how insufficient consideration of local cultural norms—such as familial structures, communication styles, and attitudes toward aging—can hinder acceptance. By systematically comparing Korean and American older adult populations, Dr. Kim provides actionable frameworks for culturally adaptive technology design, bridging a critical gap in global gerontechnology research. Her contributions have garnered attention from policymakers and product developers seeking to create inclusive, user-centered solutions for aging populations worldwide. Dr. Kim’s research not only advances theoretical understanding but also offers practical guidance for deploying technologies that respect and integrate diverse sociocultural values, making her a vital voice in the ongoing dialogue about equitable, cross-cultural innovation in an increasingly connected world.
