Call for Submissions - Second Annual Human Factors in Healthcare Robotics Summit: Expanding Our Perspectives

We are excited to announce that submissions are now open for presentations and panels at the 2nd Annual Human Factors in Healthcare Robotics Summit: Expanding Our Perspectives, sponsored by Intuitive. This summit will be held on March 30, 2025 as part of the International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care in Toronto, Canada.

This year’s summit will focus on broadening the scope of human factors in healthcare robotics, incorporating a wide range of perspectives and experiences. We invite clinicians, engineers, researchers and policymakers to explore critical topics, including clinician perspectives, regulatory pathways, AI/ML in robotics, training and education, sterile reprocessing, challenges faced by care teams and innovations in home healthcare robotics.

Join us for this unique opportunity to shape the future of healthcare robotics through human-centered design, evaluation, and strategy. Engage in dynamic discussions, share your expertise, and collaborate with thought leaders in this rapidly evolving field. Whether you're contributing to surgical, diagnosis, rehabilitation, social, etc. robotics or related healthcare applications, this summit is your platform to share insights and drive innovation.
