About
Dr. Byeong-Hee Won is a leading researcher in geriatric care technology, specializing in the intersection of robotics, healthcare, and caregiver burden reduction. Her most cited work, "Comparison of the Physical Care Burden on Formal Caregivers between Manual Human Care Using a Paper Diaper and Robot-Aided Care in Excretion Care" (2023), represents a pivotal contribution to the field of assistive robotics. In this study, Dr. Won quantitatively compared the physical strain on caregivers during traditional manual excretion care versus robot-assisted care, providing critical evidence that robotic assistance can significantly reduce the biomechanical burden on formal caregivers. With 4 citations, this paper has already begun shaping discussions in gerontechnology and rehabilitation engineering. Dr. Won’s research addresses the pressing global challenge of an aging population and limited caregiving resources, offering data-driven solutions that enhance both caregiver well-being and patient dignity. Her work is particularly notable for its practical focus on one of the most physically demanding aspects of elder care—excretion assistance—and for bridging the gap between robotic engineering and real-world clinical application. Dr. Won’s contributions are essential reading for researchers and students in human-robot interaction, geriatric nursing, and assistive technology design.
