About

Yee Wei Lim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare robotics and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on addressing critical workforce shortages and supporting ageing populations. His work centers on two key areas: the implementation of robotic systems in clinical settings to alleviate nursing burdens, and the co-design of technology to enable older adults to age in place. In his highly cited 2024 study (9 citations), Lim conducted a mixed-method assessment of an inpatient robotic nurse assistant, demonstrating how automation can support vital signs measurement and medication delivery, offering a tangible solution to the global nursing crisis. His 2019 systematic review (8 citations) is equally influential, synthesizing evidence on co-designing health technology with elderly end-users, showing that participatory approaches improve satisfaction and outcomes while reducing care costs. Lim’s contributions are notable for bridging engineering, clinical practice, and human-centered design, ensuring that technological innovations are both effective and embraced by those they serve. His work has significant implications for future healthcare delivery, particularly in an era of aging demographics and strained health systems.
