About

Wireeporn Chaisetsampun is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and cultural psychology, with a primary focus on the acceptance and integration of socially assistive robots (SARs) in health and social care settings. Her work critically examines how cultural dimensions influence the rejection or adoption of robotic assistance among healthcare professionals, particularly nurses and midwives. In her highly cited 2023 study, "Socially assistive robots in health and social care: Acceptance and cultural factors," she conducted an exploratory international online survey that garnered 34 citations, revealing how cultural values shape perceptions of SAR benefits. Her follow-up work, "Views about perceived training needs of health care professionals in relation to socially assistive robots," with 15 citations, underscores her commitment to workforce readiness, identifying essential training gaps that must be addressed for successful SAR deployment. Chaisetsampun’s research is pivotal in bridging technological innovation with human-centered care, ensuring that the global healthcare workforce is culturally and practically prepared for an AI-integrated future. Her contributions are instrumental for students and researchers exploring human-robot interaction, cross-cultural healthcare, and the ethical implementation of assistive technologies.
