About

Rita Wilson is an influential nursing researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare practice. Her scholarship has significantly advanced our understanding of how emerging AI health technologies are poised to reshape the nursing profession across its multiple domains. Wilson's highly cited 2020 scoping review, "Predicted Influences of Artificial Intelligence on the Domains of Nursing" (211 citations), offered one of the first comprehensive examinations of AI's anticipated impact on nurses — the largest group of health professionals globally — addressing gaps in knowledge around person-centered care and professional practice. Building on this foundation, her 2021 follow-up scoping review focused specifically on nursing education (272 citations), exploring how AI health technologies may transform how nurses are trained and prepared for future clinical environments. Together, these works have garnered nearly 500 citations, establishing Wilson as a leading voice in nursing informatics and health technology research. Her contributions are particularly valuable for nursing educators, policymakers, and clinicians navigating an increasingly technology-driven healthcare landscape, providing an evidence-informed framework for anticipating and responding to the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in nursing.
