About

Yunhee Shin is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of child psychiatry and robotics, whose work has significantly advanced the diagnostic process for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Her most notable contribution, "Robot-Assisted ADHD Screening in Diagnostic Process" (2018), has garnered 17 citations, establishing a novel framework for integrating socially assistive robots into clinical assessments. This research demonstrates how robotic systems can enhance the objectivity and engagement of ADHD screening, offering a promising alternative to traditional subjective evaluations. By leveraging human-robot interaction, Shin’s work addresses critical challenges in pediatric mental health diagnostics, particularly in improving early detection and reducing diagnostic bias. Her findings have implications for both clinical practice and the development of interactive technologies in healthcare. Beyond this landmark study, Shin continues to explore how robotic interventions can support cognitive and behavioral assessments in children, positioning her as a key figure in the emerging field of robot-assisted psychiatry. Her research not only bridges engineering and medicine but also opens new avenues for scalable, technology-driven mental health solutions.
