About
Dr. Bethany M. Sloane is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of pediatric healthcare, human-robot interaction, and clinical ethics. Her work centers on understanding how robotic systems can be integrated into sensitive medical environments—particularly those involving children—without undermining the essential human elements of care. Sloane’s most influential paper, “Clinician Perspectives on Autonomy and Trust in Robots for Pediatric Interventions” (2025), has already garnered early citations for its groundbreaking qualitative analysis of how doctors and nurses perceive robotic assistance in pediatric procedures. By foregrounding clinician voices, she challenges the field to move beyond technical feasibility and toward ethical, trust-based implementation. Her research bridges engineering and medicine, offering frameworks for designing robots that respect patient vulnerability and professional autonomy. Sloane’s contributions are shaping the next generation of pediatric assistive technologies, ensuring that innovation does not come at the cost of compassionate care. As a rising voice in healthcare robotics, she continues to advocate for human-centered design in even the most automated clinical settings.
