Echo Acquisition Despite Geographic Separation by Replication of Human Movements (EAGER)
Sponsor: Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute
Summary
Echocardiography is a cornerstone of modern cardiology management, but access in rural and remote areas is limited. We have developed a robot ("Edler" named after the originator of echocardiography) which enables a sonographer to complete an examination at a distance. This study seeks to compare the images obtained by both methods, the completeness of the exam over a feasible time, and to identify particular components of the exam that are difficult to obtain using the robot.
