About
Dr. Saerom Kim is a leading researcher in gerontechnology, with a primary focus on enhancing the quality of life for community-dwelling older adults through innovative ICT-based solutions. Her most cited work, a 2019 study on the effectiveness of an ICT-based toy robot for in-home elderly care, has garnered 16 citations and provides critical insights into how socially assistive robots can support aging in place. This research, conducted with 42 elders in Chuncheon City, South Korea, demonstrates her commitment to rigorous, applied studies that bridge technology and human needs. Dr. Kim’s contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on real-world effectiveness, examining factors that influence successful adoption of robotic aids in home settings. Her work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, gerontology, and assistive technology, offering valuable evidence for designing interventions that promote independence and well-being among the elderly. By advancing our understanding of how older adults interact with and benefit from robotic companions, Dr. Kim is helping to shape the future of in-home care, making her a key voice in the growing field of socially assistive robotics for aging populations.
