About

Ji Young Jung is a leading researcher in nursing and healthcare robotics, with a primary focus on integrating robotic technologies into nursing care services to address the challenges of an aging society. Her most-cited work, "Nurses’ needs for care robots in integrated nursing care services" (2018, 98 citations), is a landmark study that systematically identified the specific care tasks where nurses most desire robotic assistance, such as patient mobility and monitoring. This research directly responded to Korea’s impending super-aged society by 2030 and the strain on healthcare systems from informal caregivers. Jung’s contributions have shaped the prioritization of robotic care functions in integrated nursing services, bridging the gap between clinical needs and technological development. Her work is widely cited for its practical implications in healthcare policy and robot design, making her a key voice in the discourse on technology-enhanced elderly care.
