About
Martin Salzmann‐Erikson is a leading voice at the intersection of nursing science and emerging technologies, pioneering research on the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence into healthcare. His work critically examines how society—and the nursing profession—perceives, resists, and ultimately adapts to robotic care. A key contribution is his innovative use of netnography and social media analysis to capture real-time public discourse; his seminal study analyzing 172 images of nursing care robots posted on social media (26 citations) revealed prevailing attitudes and design expectations. Salzmann‐Erikson has also provocatively explored cultural narratives, drawing lessons from monsters in popular culture to forecast the challenges of AI in nursing (37 citations). His concept of "tech-resistance" (15 citations) provides a crucial framework for understanding the complexities of implementing robots in real-world healthcare workplaces. By tracking Twitter discussions on geriatric robotics and the predicaments of aged care, he has mapped the future of human-machine collaboration in nursing. His work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the socio-technical dynamics shaping the future of care.
