About
Dr. Kohki Okajima is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a focus on enhancing the quality of life for older adults through socially assistive robotics. His key contributions lie in designing and validating intervention systems that leverage robots to promote sustained health management behaviors in home environments. In his most cited work (2021, 3 citations), Okajima demonstrated the effectiveness of continuous grip strength measurement using a social assistive robot, showing that daily, robot-mediated health monitoring can improve adherence among older adults. This study proposed a novel system integrating grip strength sensors into a SAR and tested it with 23 participants, revealing significant potential for long-term, non-intrusive health tracking. While his citation count is modest, the work is notable for its practical, user-centered approach to aging-in-place technology. Okajima’s research bridges robotics, behavioral science, and preventive healthcare, offering scalable solutions for independent living. His achievements include developing a prototype that transforms routine health checks into engaging, robot-facilitated interactions, paving the way for future studies on autonomous care systems.
