Paper Published in JMIR, an International Academic Journal in the Field of Digital Health / Research Team Led by Professor Heo JeongYun (Department of Smart Experience Design, Graduate School of Techno-Design)

A study in which Hwang Ji-hyun, a master’s student at the Cognitive Experience Design Lab (HIIX Lab, Human-Intelligence Interaction & User eXperience Design Lab) at Kookmin University’s Graduate School of Techno-Design, served as co-first author has been published in the latest issue of the *Journal of Medical Internet Research* (JMIR), a leading international academic journal in the field of digital health.
The *Journal of Medical Internet Research* (JMIR) is an SCI Q1 international journal with an Impact Factor of 8.2 and is one of the leading academic journals in the field of digital health.
This study is the result of a medical-design convergence research project that combines Kookmin University’s UX and design research capabilities with Korea University’s expertise in medicine and digital health. A joint research team led by Professor Heo JeongYun of the Graduate School of Techno-Design at Kookmin University and Professor Cho Cheol-hyun of the Department of Psychiatry at Korea University Anam Hospital conducted a comprehensive analysis of anonymous avatar-based remote psychotherapy from both medical and user experience (UX) perspectives. Through this analysis, they derived design directions for future digital psychotherapy platforms that go beyond a technology-centric approach to incorporate user experience.
Hwang Ji-hyun, a master’s student, extended her interest in digital healthcare and user experience to her thesis, conducting research titled “Self-Determination Theory-Based Interface Design of a Routine Management App to Improve Behavioral Persistence,” which explored behavioral persistence—a key factor in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—from the perspective of Self-Determination Theory.
HIIX Lab (led by Professor Heo JeongYun) focuses on Human–AI Collaboration to research Human–Intelligence Interaction—which expands human creativity and decision-making capabilities—and new user experiences. Through interdisciplinary research spanning AI-powered digital health and UX design, the lab is pioneering new research areas and continuously strengthening the international research capabilities of its graduate students.
