Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi has developed a telerobotic ultrasound system. This system allows remote ultrasound access through a robotic arm.
The system has been developed by a research team that included professionals from IIT, Delhi, AIIMS, New Delhi, and Addverb Technologies, said a statement from IIT Delhi.
The research team at IIT Delhi was led by Prof.Chetan Arora and Prof.Subir Kumar Saha, while Dr.Chandrashekhara was responsible from AIIMS and Mr.Suvayan Nandi was the lead contributor from Addverb Technologies.
In the regular procedure of ultrasound, the doctor stands close to the patients. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to maintain social distance between the doctor and the patient.
Doctors prefer using the “cross-sectional imaging” technique for an ultrasound during pandemic, and as per the statement from IIT Delhi and AIIMS this technique is “more expensive and less dynamic”.
