Excited to share our early proof of concept work exploring humanoid robot echocardiography (supervised).
Our vision is a multi-use robotic platform that could extend the reach of trained sonographers and clinicians in the Cath lab, remote settings, and reduce orthopaedic injuries.@aelsab @guy_robinson_ @Grace_Lin_MD @JaeKOh2 @pattypellikka @kylalaraMD @mmartinezheart @purviparwani @JeremyThaden

Thank you @DFCapodanno for highlighting. The first step in applying humanoid robots in this space is demonstrating feasibility of tasks at intentionally slower rate for safety reasons (any humanoid robot in training is prone to unintended abrupt motion)- next iteration underway!
A proof-of-concept study demonstrated the feasibility of using the Vega humanoid robot as a physician-teleoperated circulating assistant in a simulated cardiac catheterisation laboratory.
The robot successfully completed three non-clinical tasks: coronary stent retrieval (11 seconds), diagnostic catheter retrieval (10 seconds), and procedure table preparation (3 minutes 30 seconds). All tasks were performed under continuous physician supervision, with collision detection and emergency stop mechanisms in place. No safety-related events occurred.
These preliminary findings suggest that humanoid robots may help streamline workflows, reduce repetitive workload, and address workforce constraints, although no autonomous, AI-based or patient-related activities were evaluated. eurointervention.pcronline.c…

Can humanoid robots support workflow in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory?
In a simulated setting, a teleoperated humanoid robot performed routine tasks, including equipment retrieval and procedure table preparation.
An early proof of concept for robotic assistance in routine, non-clinical tasks.

Introducing the Sandoval Troponin Lab™.
Interactive. Visual. Open Access.
For years, clinicians and laboratory medicine specialists worldwide have worked to advance our understanding and use of cardiac troponin in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Yet, as assays, concepts, classifications, and diagnostic algorithms continue to evolve, the field has become increasingly complex.
The Sandoval Troponin Lab™ is a free, open-access educational resource designed to make cardiac troponin more intuitive, accessible, and engaging through interactive learning and visualization.

This is an early beta version, and feedback is welcome. Please reach out if you're interested in collaborating. Special thanks to my longtime partners and collaborators, Professors Allan Jaffe and Fred Apple, for their initial input.
