About

Evan Edmond is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and healthcare ethics, with a particular focus on the responsible design of autonomous medical systems. His most cited work, "RoboDoc: Critical ethical issues to consider for the design and development of a robotic doctor experience" (2020), published in the *Journal of Future Robot Life*, serves as a foundational piece in the emerging discourse on robotic healthcare. In this open-access article, Edmond systematically identifies and analyzes key ethical challenges—ranging from patient autonomy and trust to algorithmic bias and liability—that must be addressed before robotic doctors can be safely integrated into clinical practice. While his citation count is modest, reflecting the nascent stage of this field, his contribution is notable for its proactive, design-oriented approach: rather than merely critiquing existing technologies, Edmond provides actionable frameworks for developers and policymakers. This work positions him as a critical voice in shaping the future of human-robot interaction in medicine, emphasizing that ethical considerations must be embedded from the earliest stages of design. For students and researchers entering this domain, Edmond’s research offers a clear roadmap of the moral terrain that lies ahead.
