About
Dr. Sylvia Biglete-Pangilinan is a leading researcher at the intersection of nursing, gerontology, and human-robot interaction. Her work critically examines the cultural and professional factors influencing the adoption of socially assistive robots (SARs) in health and social care. Her most influential study, an international online survey of registered nurses and midwives, garnered 34 citations for revealing how cultural dimensions predict the rejection or acceptance of SARs. A subsequent highly-cited paper (15 citations) mapped the global training needs of healthcare professionals to prepare them for integrating AI and robotic colleagues into clinical practice. By demonstrating that a workforce’s cultural background is a primary driver of technology readiness, Dr. Biglete-Pangilinan has provided essential evidence for designing culturally competent implementation strategies. Her research is pivotal for policymakers and educators seeking to deploy SARs effectively, ensuring that technological innovation does not outpace human preparedness. Through her work, she is shaping a future where robots assist—not alienate—the global healthcare workforce.
