About
Run-Ping Che is a leading voice in gerontechnology, specializing in the intersection of robotics, long-term care, and the aging population. Their research critically examines how care robots can support older adults living with frailty, focusing on both the effectiveness and usability of these technologies. Che’s major contributions include synthesizing global evidence on robot-assisted care, particularly through two landmark reviews. A 2025 scoping review, already garnering 4 citations, systematically mapped long-term care workers’ perceptions—their attitudes, concerns, and expectations—of robotic assistance in facilities. Complementing this, a systematic review evaluated the clinical effectiveness and practical usability of care robots for frail older adults, addressing the critical gap between healthcare demand and supply. By centering the voices of frontline caregivers and rigorously assessing real-world outcomes, Che’s work provides essential guidance for designing and implementing robotic solutions that are both acceptable and beneficial. Their scholarship is foundational for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners navigating the ethical and practical integration of robotics into elder care, ensuring technology serves human needs with empathy and evidence.
