About
Dr. Prabdeep Panesar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, pediatric healthcare, and human-robot interaction. Their work focuses on designing intelligent, autonomous systems to alleviate pain and distress in children undergoing medical procedures, particularly within emergency departments. Panesar’s most cited study, “Exploring the needs of children and caregivers to inform design of an artificial intelligence-enhanced social robot in the pediatric emergency department” (2023, 14 citations), is a foundational contribution that directly engages end-users to shape technology. By systematically gathering the perspectives of children and their caregivers, this work identifies critical design requirements for socially assistive robots (SARs) that can adapt autonomously—addressing a key limitation of existing tools. This patient-centered approach has established a new framework for developing empathetic, AI-driven interventions in acute care settings. Panesar’s research not only advances the field of pediatric pain management but also demonstrates a commitment to ethical, participatory design. Their work is highly relevant for researchers and clinicians seeking to integrate responsive, child-friendly AI into clinical practice, with the potential to transform the experience of young patients and their families during stressful medical encounters.
