About
Richard Booth is a prominent nursing informatics researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of digital technology, artificial intelligence, and nursing practice. Based at Western University in Canada, Booth has established himself as a leading voice in understanding how emerging technologies are reshaping the nursing profession across its multiple domains. His most impactful contributions center on AI's transformative potential in healthcare. His 2020 scoping review examining AI's predicted influences across nursing domains has garnered over 211 citations, while companion works exploring AI's effects on nursing education (272 citations) and a broader call for the profession to adapt for a digital future (291 citations) have collectively shaped how nurses, educators, and policymakers think about technological integration. Together, these three papers alone represent nearly 800 citations, demonstrating the field's hunger for rigorous guidance on these emerging questions. Booth's research extends beyond AI to include intelligent assistive technologies for older adults and, most recently, large language models in nursing education. His work is notable for its practical orientation — consistently asking not merely whether technologies will change nursing, but how the profession should proactively and thoughtfully respond to ensure patient-centered, ethical care remains paramount.
