About
Hyeongsuk Lee is a leading researcher in nursing robotics and health information technology, whose work is reshaping how technology supports both patients and healthcare professionals. Her primary research areas include companion robots for older adults, telepresence and bedside robots for clinical settings, and the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in nursing care. Lee’s major contributions include defining the conceptual foundations of companion robots through Rodgers’ evolutionary concept analysis, and identifying critical ICT needs during the COVID-19 pandemic through qualitative studies. Her work on point-of-care robots has established essential user requirements for teleconsultation and bedside systems, with studies employing scenario-based assessments and usability evaluations to guide real-world implementation. With over 120 citations across her most-cited papers, Lee’s impact is evident in her pioneering studies on mobile robots for isolation rooms and care robots for community-dwelling older adults. Her notable achievements include developing user-centered design frameworks for robotic systems in healthcare, and her research continues to influence the future of technology-enhanced nursing care.
