OverviewAI-generated summary
Samantha Kleindienst Robler's research focuses on improving access to specialty care for children in rural Alaska, particularly concerning hearing health. Her work involves the implementation and evaluation of mobile health screening and telemedicine referral systems. She has investigated the prevalence of childhood hearing loss in rural Alaska and identified environmental factors contributing to hearing loss and middle ear disease in Alaska Native children and adolescents.
Her publications include studies on early patient-centered outcomes research experience with telehealth, the effectiveness of mobile health school screening and telemedicine referrals in rural Alaska, and changing paradigms for school hearing screening globally. Robler also explores advanced methods, such as a hybrid deep learning approach to identify preventable childhood hearing loss. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Susan D. Emmett, Shayu Deshpande, Meade Inglis-Jenson, and Tarika Srinivasan.
