About
Phoebe Chu He is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontology, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology, with a focused expertise on enhancing the psychosocial well-being of older adults. Her major contributions center on the innovative application of social robots—particularly the LOVOT (Love+Robot)—to combat loneliness and improve social well-being among single older adults. In her landmark 2024 qualitative phenomenological study, she demonstrated how LOVOT’s affectionate, interactive companionship can meaningfully address social isolation, a finding that has already garnered 24 citations and sparked global interest. Her 2023 multimethod protocol for studying technology acceptance in Hong Kong and Singapore (10 citations) further establishes her as a pioneer in cross-cultural aging research. By rigorously examining how older adults perceive and adopt social robots, He provides critical insights for designing culturally sensitive interventions that support active aging. Her work not only advances academic understanding but also offers practical pathways for policy makers and technologists to create scalable, compassionate solutions for the world’s rapidly aging population.
