About
Izdor Malkar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare innovation and human-robot interaction. His work focuses on understanding how social robots are perceived and accepted within clinical environments, particularly in the context of Europe's accelerating digital transformation in medicine. Malkar's major contribution lies in bridging the gap between technological capability and human readiness, using ethnographic and qualitative methods to capture the nuanced attitudes of patients and healthcare professionals toward robotic caregivers. His landmark 2024 case study, "Perception and acceptability of social robots in healthcare," provides deep insight into the sociocultural factors that influence the adoption of AI and autonomous systems in medical settings. Though early in its citation life, this work is foundational for researchers designing patient-centered robotic solutions. Malkar’s research is essential reading for anyone exploring how advanced technologies like AI, robotics, and Big Data can be integrated into healthcare in ways that are both effective and socially acceptable. His ethnographic approach offers a humanistic counterbalance to purely technical narratives, making his contributions vital for shaping the future of digital health.
