About
Joey Wong is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of gerontechnology, long-term care, and human-robot interaction. With a growing body of highly cited scholarship, Wong has established themselves as a leading voice in understanding how telepresence robots and artificial intelligence-enabled technologies can address pressing challenges in aged care settings, particularly social isolation, staffing shortages, and the disruptions wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Wong's most cited work — a 2022 scoping review on facilitators and barriers to telepresence robot adoption (58 citations) — set a foundational framework for the field, while companion pieces examining ethical risks (47 citations) and AI-enabled robot adoption by healthcare providers (41 citations) demonstrate a sophisticated, multidimensional approach that balances technological optimism with critical scrutiny. Notably, Wong has centered the voices of residents, families, frontline staff, and care partners, producing rich qualitative insights from real-world implementations in British Columbia's long-term care homes. More recent explorations, including a 2025 study on LOVOT companion robots (12 citations), signal Wong's expanding interest in human-robot emotional bonds. Collectively, with over 250 citations across a focused publication window, Joey Wong is shaping evidence-based policy and practice for technology integration in dementia and elder care worldwide.
