About
M. Lyndsay Howitt is a nursing researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare, with a particular focus on how emerging technologies will reshape the nursing profession. Howitt has made significant contributions to understanding the predicted influences of AI on nursing, examining its implications across multiple domains including clinical care, education, administration, policy, and research. Her landmark scoping reviews have become essential reading in the field. A 2020 publication exploring AI's influence across the broad domains of nursing has accumulated over 211 citations, while her follow-up 2021 review specifically examining AI's impact on nursing education has garnered an impressive 272 citations — reflecting the urgency and relevance of these questions within the academic community. Together, these works represent some of the earliest and most comprehensive syntheses of how AI health technologies may transform nursing practice and person-centered care. Howitt's research is particularly valuable because it centers nurses — the largest group of health professionals globally — in conversations about technological transformation that have too often overlooked their unique role. Her scholarship offers both a roadmap and a critical lens for students, educators, and policymakers navigating an increasingly AI-integrated healthcare landscape.
