About

Mariana N. Almeida is a researcher whose work critically examines the intersection of digital health information and surgical decision-making, with a particular focus on robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery. Her most-cited study, "Assessment of online information on robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery" (2024), has garnered 4 citations—a notable impact for a recently published paper, reflecting its timely relevance in an era where patients increasingly turn to the internet for medical guidance. Almeida’s major contribution lies in evaluating the quality, accuracy, and accessibility of online resources about robotic surgical procedures, addressing a critical gap in patient education and informed consent. By systematically analyzing web-based content, she has highlighted potential misinformation and variability in surgical information, offering insights that empower both clinicians and patients to navigate digital health landscapes more effectively. Her work underscores the importance of evidence-based communication in high-stakes surgical fields, positioning her as a key voice in the growing dialogue on digital literacy in medicine. Almeida’s research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners interested in the ethical and practical challenges of integrating technology into patient care.
