About

Hema Malini is a leading voice in the integration of healthcare robotics within nursing practice, particularly in the context of pandemic response. Her most cited work, "Are Indonesian Nurses Ready for Healthcare Robots During the COVID-19 Pandemic?" (15 citations), critically examines the readiness of Indonesian healthcare professionals to adopt robotic assistance during global health crises. This perspective piece not only identifies cultural and professional barriers to technology adoption but also provides actionable recommendations for preparing nurses to collaborate with healthcare robots, thereby enhancing patient care and reducing infection risks. Malini’s research bridges the gap between nursing science and emerging medical technologies, positioning her as a key figure in the future of digital health in Southeast Asia. Her work has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions around robotic integration in clinical settings, and she continues to advocate for nurse-centered design in healthcare innovation. By addressing both the practical and ethical dimensions of robotics in nursing, Malini’s contributions are paving the way for a more resilient, tech-enabled healthcare workforce.
