About
Petra Baji is a leading health economist and social scientist whose research lies at the intersection of digital health innovation, public preferences, and caregiving. Her work critically examines how emerging technologies—from artificial intelligence-based tumour diagnostics to assistive robots—are perceived and accepted by the general population and informal caregivers. In her highly cited 2024 study (21 citations), Baji conducted a representative cross-sectional survey in Hungary to assess social preferences for robot-assisted surgery and AI diagnostics, revealing how context shapes public acceptance of advanced health technologies. Her 2025 work extends this inquiry into home care, exploring how informal caregivers envision the design and acceptability of assistive robots—a pressing issue as aging populations place growing strain on family and community support systems. Baji’s contributions are vital for policymakers and technologists seeking to align innovation with real-world needs. By centering the voices of caregivers and the public, she bridges the gap between technical possibility and social reality, ensuring that digital health tools are not only effective but also trusted and embraced.
