About
Martina A. Clarke is a health informatics researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of telemedicine, human-computer interaction, and critical care. Her most-cited study, "Robotic Telepresence in a Medical Intensive Care Unit—Clinicians' Perceptions" (2015, 20 citations), explores how robotic telepresence systems are perceived by healthcare providers in high-stakes environments like the ICU. This work sheds light on the barriers and facilitators to adopting telepresence robots in academic medical settings, offering critical insights into how technology can extend the reach of off-site specialists without compromising care quality. Clarke’s research is particularly valuable for understanding the human factors that influence the success of telehealth interventions—a topic of growing importance in modern medicine. By examining clinician attitudes, she helps bridge the gap between technological capability and real-world clinical adoption. Her contributions inform the design of more user-centered telemedicine systems, with implications for improving access to intensive care expertise, especially in under-resourced or remote settings. Clarke’s work continues to shape how we think about the role of robotics in collaborative, patient-centered healthcare delivery.
