About
Ali Jasem Buabbas is a prominent health services researcher whose work centers on the intersection of public perception, clinical adoption, and emerging surgical technologies. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) awareness, patient and surgeon attitudes toward medical innovation, and healthcare technology assessment in the Middle East. Dr. Buabbas has made significant contributions by systematically investigating how both laypeople and medical professionals perceive RAS, particularly in Kuwait—a region where such technologies are newly introduced. His most cited study, an exploratory analysis of public awareness about robotic surgery in Kuwait (30 citations), revealed critical gaps in understanding that inform future educational and policy interventions. A subsequent cross-sectional study examining multiple stakeholder perceptions (21 citations) further demonstrated his ability to bridge patient and clinician viewpoints. His earlier survey of surgeons’ attitudes toward RAS (4 citations) provided foundational insights into local clinical readiness. Collectively, his work has shaped how healthcare systems in the Gulf region prepare for and communicate about advanced surgical robotics, making him a key voice in the global discourse on technology adoption in medicine.
