About
Dr. Saeed Mastour Alshahrani is a distinguished researcher whose work sits at the intersection of telemedicine, stroke care, and cultural competency in healthcare. His pioneering research investigates how emerging technologies—particularly robotic telestroke systems—can be effectively implemented in diverse cultural contexts, with a specific focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In his most cited study, "Cultural acceptance of robotic telestroke medicine among patients and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia" (2015, 11 citations), Dr. Alshahrani conducted a cross-sectional pilot study that assessed satisfaction levels among stroke patients, their relatives, and medical staff toward using telestroke technology. This work is notable for being among the first to systematically evaluate cultural and religious factors influencing the adoption of robotic telemedicine in the Middle East. By demonstrating that both patients and providers showed high acceptance of this technology, his research has laid crucial groundwork for expanding telestroke services in the region. Dr. Alshahrani’s contributions are particularly valuable for healthcare systems seeking to bridge the gap between advanced medical technologies and local cultural expectations, making him a key voice in the global conversation on equitable, culturally-sensitive telemedicine implementation.
