About

Radka Krepinska is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and culture, with a primary focus on the acceptance and integration of socially assistive robots (SARs) in health and social care settings. Her work critically examines how cultural dimensions influence professionals’ willingness to adopt robotic technologies, addressing a key gap in the implementation of AI-driven care. In her highly cited 2023 study, she conducted an exploratory international online survey of registered nurses and midwives, revealing that cultural factors significantly shape rejection of SAR benefits—a finding with 34 citations that underscores its relevance to global health policy. Her subsequent 2023 paper, with 15 citations, further investigates the perceived training needs of healthcare professionals worldwide, emphasizing the necessity of culturally tailored education to prepare the workforce for AI integration. Krepinska’s contributions are pivotal in bridging the divide between technological innovation and human-centered care, offering actionable insights for designing inclusive robotic systems. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the sociocultural dynamics of healthcare technology adoption.
