About
Yihong Leow is a leading researcher in geriatric mental health and human-robot interaction, with a focus on improving the quality of life for older adults with dementia. Their most influential work, a systematic review and meta-analysis on the therapeutic robot ‘Paro,’ has garnered 39 citations and demonstrates Leow’s expertise in evaluating non-pharmacological interventions. This study critically assessed Paro’s impact on behavioural and psychological symptoms, medication use, total sleep time, and sociability, providing robust evidence that robotic companions can reduce agitation and reliance on psychotropic drugs while enhancing social engagement. Leow’s research bridges technology and clinical care, offering practical solutions for dementia management. By synthesizing data from multiple trials, they have established a foundation for integrating social robots into long-term care settings, influencing both clinical practice and future research directions. Their work is particularly notable for its rigorous methodology and patient-centered outcomes, making it a key reference for scholars exploring assistive technologies in aging populations. Yihong Leow continues to advance the field, advocating for humane, evidence-based approaches to dementia care.
