About

Dr. Suyen Karki is a leading scholar in nursing technology and healthcare automation, whose work critically examines the integration of robotics and automated devices into clinical practice. Her primary research areas include nursing informatics, human-robot interaction in healthcare, and the ethical implications of technology adoption in nursing workflows. Dr. Karki’s most influential contribution is her landmark integrative review, “The use of robots and other automated devices in nurses’ work” (2019), which has garnered 60 citations and serves as a foundational text in the field. This seminal paper systematically mapped the emerging landscape of robotic assistance in nursing—from medication delivery to patient monitoring—while highlighting critical gaps in outcome measurement and workforce impact. Her work has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions around safe, effective technology integration and has influenced subsequent studies on nurse-robot collaboration. Dr. Karki’s research is particularly notable for centering the nursing perspective in conversations often dominated by engineering and computer science, ensuring that automation serves both patient care and professional practice. Her contributions continue to guide healthcare institutions navigating the balance between technological innovation and compassionate, human-centered care.
