About

Dimitra Balaska is a rising voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and public health, with a focused research agenda on how AI and robotic technologies can transform healthcare delivery and patient engagement. Her most cited work, "Enhancement of Patient Engagement and Healthcare Delivery Through the Utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies" (2024, 11 citations), explores how AI-driven tools empower individuals to take an active role in their own treatment and decision-making, fundamentally reshaping the patient-provider partnership. In her subsequent paper, "Artificial Intelligence and Robotics: Catalysts or Threats in the Development of Healthcare" (2025, 1 citation), Balaska critically examines the dual potential of these technologies—as either transformative catalysts or disruptive threats—particularly within the context of the European Union and Greece, where healthcare access remains uneven. Her contributions are especially notable for bridging cutting-edge AI innovation with pressing real-world challenges in underserved healthcare systems. While early in her career, Balaska’s work signals a commitment to ensuring that technological progress serves equitable, patient-centered care. For students and researchers, her research offers a compelling lens on the ethical and practical dimensions of AI in medicine.
