About

Tomohide Ibuki is a leading voice at the intersection of nursing, robotics, and artificial intelligence, exploring how emerging technologies can reshape healthcare delivery. His most-cited work, "Possibilities and ethical issues of entrusting nursing tasks to robots and artificial intelligence" (2023, 42 citations), critically examines which aspects of nursing practice can—and should—be delegated to machines. Ibuki’s research balances technological optimism with rigorous ethical scrutiny, identifying core nursing functions that resist automation due to their reliance on human empathy, judgment, and relational care. By mapping both the potential and the limits of robotic assistance, he provides a nuanced framework for integrating AI into clinical settings without compromising patient dignity or professional integrity. His contributions are especially timely as healthcare systems worldwide grapple with workforce shortages and digital transformation. Ibuki’s work has informed policy discussions and curriculum development in nursing informatics, positioning him as a key thinker in responsible innovation. For students and researchers, his scholarship offers a vital roadmap for navigating the ethical complexities of a future where humans and machines collaborate in care.
