About
Joo Susanna is a dedicated researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on understanding how older adults adopt and accept assistive technologies. Her most cited work, "Associated factors of technology acceptance attitude and usage intention for wearable robots among older adults" (2021), investigates the factors influencing seniors' willingness to use wearable robots for mobility enhancement. Drawing on the Almere model of technology acceptance, her study surveyed 310 cognitively healthy adults aged 65 and older, examining how sociodemographic variables—such as gender, age, education, employment, marital status, living arrangements, and income—along with health status indicators like frailty, chronic conditions, and physical and mental health, shape attitudes and intentions toward wearable robotics. This foundational research provides critical insights for designing user-centered robotic interventions that align with the real-world needs and concerns of aging populations. While her citation count is still growing, Joo's work represents an important step in bridging technology development with gerontological practice, contributing to the broader goal of enhancing mobility and independence among older adults through thoughtful, evidence-based design.
