About
Seoung-Yeon Kim is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and ergonomics, with a primary focus on reducing physical strain in elderly care environments. Her most cited work, "Development of Workload Assessment System for Comparison of Manual Care and Robot-Aided Care loads in the Transfer Assistive Care" (2021), introduces a quantitative framework for evaluating the biomechanical demands of caregiving tasks. By comparing manual care with robot-assisted care, Kim’s system provides critical data to support the integration of robotic aids in healthcare settings, addressing the urgent labor shortages driven by Korea’s rapidly aging population. Her research directly informs safer, more sustainable care practices, offering evidence that robot-aided care can significantly lower caregiver injury risks. With 4 citations, this foundational study has influenced subsequent ergonomic assessments and robotic design criteria. Kim’s work stands at the intersection of human factors engineering and gerontechnology, making her a key contributor to the development of intelligent assistive devices that enhance both caregiver well-being and patient care quality.
