About

Dr. Sai Ho Wong is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, gerontechnology, and pediatric healthcare. His work focuses on designing and evaluating robotic systems that enhance quality of life for vulnerable populations, particularly children with chronic conditions and older adults. Wong’s most influential contribution is his 2020 systematic scoping review on humanoid robot-assisted interventions for children with diabetes, which has garnered 30 citations and established foundational evidence for using social robots in pediatric diabetes management. More recently, he has advanced the field of mobile telepresence robotics, systematically examining older adults’ experiences with these technologies in a 2023 mixed-studies review. His research uniquely bridges engineering, psychology, and clinical practice, demonstrating how robots can provide companionship, education, and remote monitoring. Wong’s work has been instrumental in shaping ethical guidelines for robot deployment in sensitive care settings and has influenced the design of affordable, user-friendly robotic platforms for home use. His systematic reviews are widely cited by researchers developing robot-assisted interventions for chronic disease management and aging-in-place technologies.
