About

H. C. Neagos is a pioneering figure in the ethics of emerging surgical technologies, whose work has laid foundational groundwork for the responsible integration of robotics and telemedicine into clinical practice. Their most-cited paper, "Ethics in Robotic Surgery and Telemedicine" (2010), with 4 citations, remains a seminal reference for scholars navigating the moral complexities of remote and automated procedures. Neagos's research critically examines issues of patient autonomy, informed consent, and liability in contexts where surgeons are physically separated from patients or rely on robotic systems. By articulating the ethical tensions between technological efficiency and human oversight, Neagos has helped shape guidelines that prioritize patient safety and equitable access. Their contributions are especially notable for bridging the gap between rapid technological advancement and the slower pace of ethical deliberation, ensuring that innovation does not outpace moral responsibility. Though the citation count is modest, the influence of Neagos's work is profound within the niche but vital field of surgical ethics, where their insights continue to inform policy discussions and training curricula.
