About

Jason Phua is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare delivery, nursing science, and robotics, with a primary focus on addressing critical workforce shortages through technological innovation. His most cited work, "An Assessment of an Inpatient Robotic Nurse Assistant: A Mixed-Method Study" (2024, 9 citations), represents a pioneering contribution to the emerging field of robotic care support. In this observational study, Phua rigorously evaluated the real-world implementation of a robotic nurse assistant (RNA) in a hospital ward, specifically examining its role in supporting vital signs measurements and medication-related tasks. His mixed-method approach—combining quantitative performance metrics with qualitative staff feedback—provided crucial insights into how robotics can alleviate nursing workload without compromising patient safety. This work has positioned Phua as a key voice in the global conversation on healthcare automation, offering evidence-based guidance for hospitals exploring robotic solutions amid the ongoing nursing shortage. His research not only advances the technical feasibility of clinical robotics but also addresses the human factors essential for successful adoption, making him a vital contributor to the future of patient-centered, technology-enhanced care.
