About

Vojko Flis is an emerging researcher at the forefront of healthcare robotics and digital innovation, with a particular focus on the integration of socially assistive humanoid robots and clinical decision support systems into nursing and patient care settings. His work addresses some of the most pressing challenges facing modern healthcare systems — including workforce shortages, population aging, and rising care demands — by exploring how advanced technologies can augment clinical practice without compromising ethical standards or patient dignity. Among his most significant contributions is a structural equation modeling study examining the expectations and attitudes of both patients and healthcare professionals toward humanoid robots, which has garnered 16 citations since 2023. Alongside this, his randomized controlled trials and pilot studies evaluate real-world robot deployment during hospital rounds and surgical care, providing rigorous empirical evidence in a field often dominated by theoretical discussion. His work on HL7 FHIR integration with the Pepper robot demonstrates a rare ability to bridge technical interoperability with clinical application. With a growing body of work accumulating over 40 citations across just a few years, Flis is establishing himself as a thoughtful, interdisciplinary voice shaping how healthcare institutions ethically adopt and practically implement robotic technologies.
