OverviewAI-generated summary
Samantha Kleindienst Robler's research focuses on improving access to specialty care for children in rural Alaska through the use of mobile health screening and telemedicine referral. Her work has investigated the effectiveness of school-based hearing screenings and subsequent telemedicine referrals to address disparities in healthcare access for this population. Robler has published findings on the prevalence of childhood hearing loss in rural Alaska and explored environmental factors contributing to hearing loss and middle ear disease in Alaska Native children and adolescents. She also investigates the application of hybrid deep learning approaches to identify preventable childhood hearing loss. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 10, with 36 total publications and 520 total citations. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include Susan D. Emmett, Shayu Deshpande, Meade Inglis-Jenson, and Tarika Srinivasan.
