About

Dr. Yeong-Joo Hong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of health economics and telemedicine, with a primary focus on the economic viability of robotic and digital healthcare solutions. Her most cited work, “Economic Evaluation of Robot-Based Telemedicine Consultation Services” (2020, 14 citations), provides a foundational analysis of the cost-effectiveness and accessibility benefits of deploying robots in remote medical consultations. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by quantifying the economic trade-offs of using robotic systems to expand healthcare access in medically underserved areas. Dr. Hong’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering, clinical practice, and health policy, offering evidence-based insights that guide decision-makers in resource-limited settings. Her research underscores the potential of information and communication technology to democratize healthcare delivery, making her a key voice in the growing field of telemedicine economics. With a career dedicated to evaluating emerging technologies through a rigorous economic lens, Dr. Hong continues to shape how robotic and digital tools are integrated into sustainable healthcare systems.
