Robotic arm can be used to perform remote echocardiograms, study shows

New research shows that echocardiograms performed remotely using robot arm technology have similar accuracy to those performed in person by cardiologists, providing new options for patients with poor access.

Robotic arm-assisted remote echocardiograms found to have similar accuracy to those performed in person

New research presented at this year's ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (30 Aug–2 Sept) shows that performing echocardiograms remotely using a 5G cellular network has similar accuracy to those performed in person by cardiologists.

ESC 2024: Remote echocardiograms offer “relatively good diagnostic accuracy”

zapp2photo/stock.adobe.com Research presented at the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress (30 August–2 September, London, UK) will show that performing echocardiograms remotely using a 5G cellular network has similar accuracy to those performed in person by cardiologists.  “Comprehensive echocardiographic exam with a 5G cellular network and robotic arm-based remote system is feasible with relatively good diagnostic accuracy,” said …
