About
Bojan Ilijevec is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare robotics and health informatics, whose work is shaping the future of socially assistive robots (SARs) in clinical settings. His primary research areas include human-robot interaction in healthcare, patient engagement technologies, and the integration of clinical decision support systems with robotic platforms. Ilijevec’s most impactful contribution, "Using Structural Equation Modeling to Explore Patients’ and Healthcare Professionals’ Expectations and Attitudes Towards Socially Assistive Humanoid Robots in Nursing and Care Routine" (2023, 16 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding stakeholder perceptions critical to SAR adoption. He further advanced the field through a randomized pilot study (2025, 2 citations) that empirically demonstrated SARs’ potential to improve patient engagement and care quality in hospital wards. Notably, his innovative work integrating HL7 FHIR standards into a Pepper humanoid robot for real-world clinical decision support during doctor visits (2024, 2 citations) represents a significant technical achievement, bridging interoperability gaps between robotic systems and electronic health records. Ilijevec’s research is distinguished by its practical, implementation-focused approach, offering actionable insights for deploying robots in nursing and care routines, and his findings are increasingly referenced by healthcare technology developers and policymakers seeking evidence-based pathways for robotic integration in patient care.
