About
Nejc Plohl is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare, artificial intelligence, and robotics, whose work is shaping the future of socially assistive humanoid robots in nursing and care. His primary research areas include human-robot interaction, technology acceptance in healthcare, and the ethical integration of AI-driven care solutions. Plohl’s major contributions center on understanding and improving the expectations, attitudes, and trust of both patients and healthcare professionals toward robotic nurses. His highly cited 2023 study, which used structural equation modeling to explore these dynamics, has garnered 16 citations and is foundational in the field. He has also designed and led randomized controlled trials and living lab studies that evaluate the impact of robotic nurses on patient engagement, care quality, and staff workload. Notably, his work on the decentralized symmetric model of interaction and the integration of clinical decision support systems with robots demonstrates his innovative approach to overcoming implementation barriers. With a growing citation record and a focus on ethical acceptability, Plohl is a key voice in ensuring that robotic assistance enhances, rather than disrupts, compassionate care.
