About

Zhida Shang is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and nursing science, with a primary research focus on the integration of AI technologies into clinical nursing practice and healthcare delivery. Her most influential work, a concept analysis on the use of artificial intelligence in nursing (2021, 52 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how AI can transform patient care. In this seminal paper, Shang critically examines the barriers to technology adoption among nurses—the largest segment of the healthcare workforce—and articulates how AI can enhance clinical decision-making, streamline workflows, and improve patient outcomes. Beyond this cornerstone study, her broader research portfolio explores the ethical implications of AI in nursing, the development of intelligent clinical support systems, and strategies to accelerate technology uptake in healthcare settings. Shang’s work is particularly notable for bridging the gap between cutting-edge computational methods and the practical realities of bedside care, making her a key figure in shaping the future of technology-enabled nursing. Her contributions are essential reading for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand how AI can be responsibly and effectively deployed in healthcare.
