About

Mohanad Al Ansari is a forward-looking researcher at the intersection of surgery, digital reality, and intelligent robotics. His primary research areas include telemedicine, the Metaverse, and telesurgery, with a focus on how immersive technologies can transform medical practice and education. In his highly cited 2024 work, “Metaverse and Telementoring: From Surgery to Workshop,” Al Ansari explores how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine and gave rise to the Metaverse—a 3D environment where individuals interact through digital avatars. This paper, with 11 citations, demonstrates his early impact in conceptualizing virtual spaces for surgical mentoring and collaborative workshops. Building on this foundation, his 2025 paper “Telesurgery unleashed: redefining surgical presence in the age of intelligent robotics” (4 citations) pushes further into the integration of robotics and remote surgical systems, redefining what it means to be “present” in an operating room. Al Ansari’s work is notable for bridging theoretical frameworks with practical applications, offering a roadmap for a future where distance no longer limits surgical expertise. His contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in the convergence of healthcare, artificial intelligence, and extended reality.
