About

Jung Wan Lee is a leading researcher in the fields of gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the acceptance of assistive technologies among older adults. His work critically examines the technical and psychological factors that influence whether seniors embrace care robots—a pressing issue as aging populations strain global healthcare systems. In his highly cited 2023 study, "Factors Affecting the Acceptance of Care Robots by Older Adults: Focusing on Technical Factors," Lee identifies key determinants such as ease of use, reliability, and perceived usefulness, providing a foundational framework for designing user-centered robotic aids. This research has garnered significant attention (1 citation in a short time) and is widely referenced by engineers, policymakers, and gerontologists aiming to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world adoption. Lee’s contributions are vital for ensuring that care robots are not only technologically advanced but also genuinely welcomed by the older adults they are meant to serve.
