Jong‐Long Guo

About

Jong‐Long Guo is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology, human-robot interaction, and cognitive health. His work focuses on developing and evaluating technology-driven interventions—particularly robot-assisted board games and virtual health coaching—to improve cognitive function, mental health, and health literacy among older adults and patients with chronic conditions. Guo's major contributions include demonstrating the effectiveness of robot-assisted board games for cognitive training in both healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment, as shown in his 2025 cluster randomized trial (4 citations) and his application of the decomposed theory of planned behavior to understand technology acceptance (6 citations). He also pioneered interactive robot-assisted virtual health coaching for chronic kidney disease patients, significantly improving disease knowledge and health literacy (3 citations). With a growing citation impact, Guo's work is notable for combining rigorous quasi-experimental designs with real-world applicability, offering scalable, engaging solutions to pressing global challenges in aging and chronic disease management.
