Remote heart ultrasound using robotic technology
This study tests a new way to do heart ultrasounds from a distance, by having a robot copy a specialist's hand movements. If you already need a heart ultrasound, you may be able to get an extra one done remotely, which could help people in remote areas access care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have had or be scheduled for a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram).
- You must agree to have two heart ultrasound exams as part of this study.
- You need to be willing to have an extra heart ultrasound done, which may be performed remotely using robotic technology.

This trial tests whether a robot that performs heart ultrasounds from a distance works as well as a standard in-person ultrasound for managing heart failure. It could help people on the island of Marie-Galante get specialist care without traveling.
This study looks at how your heart performs during robotic surgery when you are placed in a steep head-down position. It may help doctors better understand how to keep you safe during the procedure.
This trial tests an automated computer tool that helps guide an ultrasound exam of the heart, aiming to get better, usable images. You may benefit if your heart ultrasound is usually hard to capture or takes extra effort to obtain clear pictures.
This study tests a robotic system that helps doctors perform heart stent procedures. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective compared to standard care. Participating may give you access to this new technology.
This trial is testing a new robot-assisted system for placing stents in blocked heart arteries. The robot may help the doctor be more precise, and you will be followed for 30 days after the procedure.
