About

Jee Hyang Jeong is a leading researcher in cognitive aging and dementia prevention, with a focus on developing innovative, technology-driven interventions for the elderly. Her primary research areas span multi-domain cognitive training, robot-assisted therapy, and the structural brain changes associated with these interventions. Dr. Jeong’s major contributions include demonstrating that both traditional and robot-assisted cognitive training can induce measurable cortical thickness changes in healthy elderly brains, as evidenced by her highly cited 2015 study (98 citations). She further advanced the field by pioneering home-based, robot-delivered cognitive interventions for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), showing in a 2020 pilot randomized controlled trial (21 citations) that such approaches are feasible and potentially more accessible than traditional group sessions. This work addresses a critical gap, as MCI patients often struggle with group-based programs. Dr. Jeong’s research has significant implications for scalable, personalized dementia prevention strategies, making her a key figure in the intersection of geriatric neuroscience and assistive robotics. Her studies are foundational for researchers and clinicians seeking to leverage technology to support cognitive health in aging populations.
