About

Hye Jin Yoo is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of healthcare technology and nursing science. Her work critically examines how digital tools can transform patient care, particularly in high-stakes environments like isolation wards and during global health crises. Yoo’s most influential study, “Critical role of information and communication technology in nursing during the COVID‐19 pandemic” (2022, 25 citations), provides essential qualitative insights into how ICT-based nursing care can improve patient management when traditional approaches fall short. This foundational work highlights the urgent need for systemic integration of communication technologies into nursing workflows. Building on this, her 2024 study on mobile robots for isolation-room hospital settings (12 citations) pioneers scenario-based applications for contactless communication and task delegation, directly addressing the physical and communicative barriers faced by medical staff in protective gear. By bridging nursing practice with robotics and ICT, Yoo is shaping a future where technology enhances—rather than replaces—the human touch in healthcare. Her research is vital reading for students and professionals interested in pandemic preparedness, digital health innovation, and the evolving role of nurses in technology-driven clinical environments.
