About
Dr. Kyounga Lee is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and telemedicine, with a focus on developing human-centered robotic solutions for healthcare. Her most impactful work demonstrates the therapeutic potential of social robots, particularly through a landmark randomized controlled trial showing that the humanoid robot Sil-Bot can effectively deliver multi-domain cognitive training to community-dwelling elderly with mild cognitive impairment—a critical intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study, with 57 citations, highlights her pioneering role in robot-assisted cognitive rehabilitation. Dr. Lee also advances the field through health systems research, including a needs assessment for telemedicine robots in developing nations (19 citations) and a rare economic evaluation of robot-based telemedicine consultation services (14 citations), providing crucial evidence for cost-effective implementation. Her work bridges engineering, clinical practice, and health economics, offering practical frameworks for deploying robotic technologies in real-world medical settings. Dr. Lee’s contributions are shaping the future of accessible, technology-enabled elder care and remote healthcare delivery.
