About
Antonia Pirrera is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of emerging technologies and healthcare, with a primary focus on augmented reality (AR) in diagnostic imaging and the ethical deployment of robotics in medical settings. Her most influential work, “Exploring Augmented Reality Integration in Diagnostic Imaging: Myth or Reality?” (2024, 50 citations), provides a critical narrative review that assesses AR’s transformative potential in radiology and imaging, bridging the gap between theoretical promise and clinical application. Pirrera also leads essential discourse on machine ethics, as demonstrated in her 2022 survey on rehabilitation and assistance robotics, which captures insider perspectives on the ethical programming and deployment of automated health systems. Her 2025 synthesis of 17 systematic reviews on social and assistive support robots (SASRs) further underscores her impact, evaluating their roles in therapy for older adults, children with autism, and individuals with dementia. By consistently addressing both the technical feasibility and moral implications of health technologies, Pirrera’s work—garnering over 60 citations—positions her as a vital voice in shaping responsible, human-centered innovation in modern medicine.
