About
Dr. Lauren Kelenc is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of orthopedic surgery, robotics, and patient-centered care. Her work focuses on understanding how patients and surgeons perceive and accept emerging technologies in the operating room, particularly robotic-assisted joint replacement. Her most-cited study, "The acceptance of robots in the orthopedic joint replacement operating room" (2025, 3 citations), provides critical early insights into patient attitudes toward robotic versus conventional surgery—a rapidly growing field with limited prior data. By developing and validating novel survey instruments, Dr. Kelenc has helped bridge the gap between technological innovation and clinical implementation. Her research is foundational for shaping how robotic systems are introduced and communicated to patients, directly influencing surgical decision-making and informed consent. Though early in her career, her work has already been recognized for its timely relevance, addressing a key barrier to the adoption of robotic orthopedic surgery. Dr. Kelenc’s contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in the human factors of surgical robotics and the future of patient-surgeon collaboration in high-tech operating rooms.
