Ala Ali Almahameed

About

Ala Ali Almahameed is a rising scholar in the field of technology acceptance, with a focused research agenda on the intersection of robotics and human perception. Her work critically examines how potential users—particularly patients and students—form attitudes toward robotic technologies in healthcare and education. Almahameed’s most cited paper (2022, 10 citations) breaks new ground by shifting the focus from healthcare workers to potential patients, analyzing the factors that influence public acceptance of surgical robots in Jordan. She further explores this theme in her 2024 work (5 citations), which investigates consumer acceptance of robotic surgeons within health services. Complementing this, her 2020 study (6 citations) applies a technology acceptance model to understand the adoption of educational robots in a Jordanian university setting. By addressing a significant gap in empirical evidence on public and consumer perspectives, Almahameed’s research provides vital insights for the design and implementation of robotic systems that are not only technologically advanced but also socially and culturally acceptable. Her work is particularly notable for its contextual grounding in the Arab world, offering a valuable counterpoint to Western-centric studies in human-robot interaction.
