About

Dr. Rita Orji is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and healthcare, with a primary focus on enhancing robot-assisted intravascular catheterization and promoting healthy aging through technology. Her major contributions include the development of a weighting-based deep ensemble learning framework that accurately recognizes interventionalists’ hand motions during cyborg catheterization, achieving 15 citations for its potential to accelerate skill acquisition and improve procedural outcomes. She also introduced a deep multimodal network for classifying and identifying hand motions, laying the groundwork for shared control and autonomous capabilities in robotic cardiovascular interventions. In the domain of digital health, Dr. Orji conducted a systematic literature review on AI-driven interventions for promoting healthy eating and nutrition in older adults, highlighting the transformative potential of intelligent systems to address age-related nutritional challenges. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable solutions for training, automation, and patient-centered care. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory toward translational innovation, Dr. Orji is establishing herself as a leader in human-robot interaction and AI-assisted healthcare.
