About
Dr. Kyoung Hyup Nam is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare robotics, human-robot interaction (HRI), and spinal care. His work focuses on how robotic systems—from social robots to medical service robots and wearable exoskeletons—can transform patient outcomes and clinical workflows. Dr. Nam’s most-cited paper (2024, 21 citations) provides a forward-looking perspective on social robots and HRI in spinal care, highlighting the potential of AI-driven humanoid robots to assist in rehabilitation and patient interaction. His 2021 cross-sectional study (9 citations) on user perceptions of medical service robots in hospital wards is a foundational contribution, revealing critical insights into how patients, doctors, and nurses view robotic assistance. Further, his 2022 research on exoskeleton-assisted gait training (3 citations) demonstrates the tangible benefits of wearable robotics for patients with spinal disease and gait disturbances. Dr. Nam’s work uniquely bridges engineering, clinical practice, and user-centered design, making him a key voice in the responsible integration of robotics into healthcare. His recent 2024 survey on nurses’ perceptions of robots in COVID-19 isolation wards underscores his commitment to addressing real-world challenges in medical robotics.
