About

Hadassah Drukarch is an emerging scholar whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of healthcare robotics, artificial intelligence, and technology governance. Her work addresses some of the most pressing questions facing modern medicine: how autonomous and robotic systems should be designed, regulated, and ethically deployed in clinical and rehabilitation settings. With a growing body of work accumulating over 160 citations, Drukarch has established herself as a distinctive voice in the field of robot governance and healthcare innovation policy. Her most influential contributions include explorations of human roles in surgical automation and the application of AI to healthcare robotics, both published in 2022 and together attracting nearly 100 citations. Notably, Drukarch has championed diversity considerations in robot design and safety standardization — a relatively underexplored dimension of healthcare technology — and has critically examined gaps in ISO 13482:2014 regulatory frameworks as they apply to robotic exoskeletons. Her iterative approach to robot governance addresses the widening gap between legislative cycles and the pace of technological change, offering practical frameworks for policymakers and engineers alike. Her work is essential reading for anyone navigating the ethical, regulatory, and social dimensions of healthcare robotics.
