About

Viana Hassan is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of medical tourism, artificial intelligence, and healthcare technology. With a particular focus on how digital transformation is reshaping global health travel, Hassan has established herself as a thoughtful voice in understanding the post-pandemic evolution of the medical tourism industry. Her most cited work, "COVID-19: Reshaping Medical Tourism through Artificial Intelligence and Robotics" (2022), garnered 24 citations and examined how the pandemic's devastating impact on international travel — following nearly 5 billion tourist arrivals in 2019 — accelerated the adoption of AI and robotics across healthcare tourism systems. This contribution offered timely insight during a period of unprecedented global disruption. Building on this foundation, her 2024 paper explores the United Arab Emirates as a case study for technological integration in medical tourism, analyzing how robotics, AI, and the surging demand for cosmetic procedures are collectively revolutionizing regional healthcare delivery. Hassan's research is particularly valuable for students and policymakers interested in the Gulf region's growing prominence as a medical tourism destination and the broader implications of emerging technologies for healthcare accessibility and patient mobility worldwide.
