About
Francheska B. Chioson is a biomedical and mechanical engineering researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of robotic surgery, surgical instrument design, and haptic feedback systems. With a focus on robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS), Chioson has made meaningful contributions to advancing surgical robotics both globally and within the Philippine context. Her most cited work, a 2020 review on robotic minimally invasive surgery in the Philippines (14 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of technological advancements and regulatory frameworks, positioning her as a key voice in localizing global surgical innovation. Her earlier research on finite element analysis of laparoscopic instrument end-effectors (9 citations) demonstrated rigorous engineering methodology applied to real surgical challenges, including surgeon ergonomics and instrument precision. Chioson has also explored haptic and force feedback control systems, addressing the critical issue of tactile disconnection surgeons experience during robotic procedures, with multiple publications in this area accumulating further citations. Across her body of work, she consistently tackles the ergonomic and functional limitations of laparoscopic surgery, contributing designs and analyses aimed at improving surgical safety and performance. Her research offers valuable insight for engineers, clinicians, and students interested in the future of surgical robotics.
