Miyeon Jung is an Associate Professor at the Indiana University School of Nursing. Dr. Jung’s program of research focuses on developing and testing interventions to improve cognitive dysfunction among people living with heart failure. She was the first scientist to develop, theoretically validate, and test a novel cognitive restorative intervention using virtual reality technology. The virtual reality-based cognitive interventions that Dr. Jung developed with a multidisciplinary team of scientists from psychology, neurology, cardiology, and software engineering, illustrate her commitment to advancing technology-enhanced solutions as scalable and readily adaptable solutions to address cognitive dysfunction in HF. In addition, Dr. Jung have developed substantial methodological expertise conducting clinical trials among people with serious chronic illness such as heart failure including rigorous experimental designs such as randomized crossover, two-group randomized controlled, and two by two factorial trials. The long-term goal of Dr. Jung’s research is to enhance quality of life and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations among people with heart failure by improving cognition needed to complete self-care tasks. Dr. Jung earned her BSN and MSN from the Chungnam National University and PhD from University of Michigan School of Nursing.
