About

Rozzano De Castro Locsin is a distinguished scholar in nursing and healthcare ethics, whose research bridges the critical intersection of technology, aging populations, and compassionate care. His work primarily explores the ethical and legal dimensions of integrating robotics and artificial intelligence into elder care, challenging the field to consider how automated systems can uphold human dignity and relational care. In his highly cited paper, "Potential legal issues when caring healthcare robot with communication in caring functions are used for older adult care" (2020, 15 citations), Locsin provides a foundational analysis of the legal responsibilities and moral frameworks necessary when deploying communicative robots in geriatric settings. This contribution has shaped debates on patient autonomy, privacy, and the definition of "caring" in technologically mediated environments. Beyond this, his broader scholarship on the theory of technological competency as caring in nursing has influenced curricula and practice worldwide. Locsin’s work is essential reading for students and researchers navigating the ethical complexities of healthcare innovation, offering a human-centered vision for the future of aging and care.
