About

Nilakshman Sooriyaperakasam is a researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering and digital health, whose work addresses critical challenges in both healthcare infrastructure and assistive technology. His most impactful contribution, "Transforming healthcare through a digital revolution: A review of digital healthcare technologies and solutions" (2022), has garnered 93 citations, reflecting its timely relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic. This comprehensive review examines how digital innovations—from telemedicine to AI-driven diagnostics—can reinvent and reorganize strained healthcare systems, offering a roadmap for post-pandemic resilience. In parallel, Sooriyaperakasam has advanced prosthetic design with his work on the TRoPHy transtibial robotic prosthesis. His paper "A Hybrid Powering Mechanism for a Transtibial Robotic Prosthesis" (2019) introduces a novel hybrid actuation system that combines active and passive methods for natural ankle motion, specifically plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, while allowing passive inversion/eversion. This innovation addresses the practical need for energy-efficient, adaptive lower-limb prosthetics. Together, his research spans the macro-level transformation of healthcare systems and the micro-level engineering of life-changing devices, demonstrating a commitment to both systemic and individual health outcomes.
