About
Yan Ying Mor is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of gerontology, human-robot interaction, and technology acceptance, with a particular focus on supporting the psychosocial well-being of older adults. Her key research areas include the adoption of social robots for active aging, the design of assistive technologies for single older adults, and the development of multimodal research methodologies to evaluate technology acceptance in real-world settings. Mor’s most notable contribution is her pioneering work on the technology acceptance of the social robot LOVOT among single older adults in Hong Kong and Singapore, a multimethod study protocol that has already garnered 10 citations since its publication in 2023. This research is significant because it directly addresses the pressing global challenge of population aging by exploring how emotionally intelligent robots can mitigate loneliness and promote active aging among one of the most vulnerable demographic groups. Mor’s work is distinguished by its rigorous, cross-cultural, and mixed-methods approach, which provides a replicable framework for future studies in human-robot interaction. Her research not only advances academic understanding but also offers practical insights for policymakers and healthcare providers seeking to integrate socially assistive technologies into aging-in-place strategies.
