Rutgers RWJ University Hospital Deploy MELODY in USA

Successful Transatlantic Cardiac Sonogram Testing Offers View into the Future of Remote-enabled Heart Care (New Brunswick, NJ) - The future of cardiac imaging arrived at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH), an RWJBarnabas Health facility, and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) last week via special delivery from France. The MELODY™ robotic tele-cardiac ultrasound technology is the first of its kind deployed in the United States for clinical use, and opens the door for providing patients with more access to expert diagnostic imaging in a convenient, telehealth delivery model. “Many cardiovascular diseases remain undetected for a long time and can be...

INTERVIEW WITH PR. MENDEZ

Interview of Pr. Ivar MENDEZ, Fred H. Wigmore Professor and Provincial Head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Health Authority. « We’ve been interested in using technology as a tool to deliver care to the people that are in remote areas. In Canada, there is huge territorial extension with population that is dispersed in many small communities that do not have access to healthcare technology such as telemedicine and especially the remote robotic ultrasound system. Melody is going to be very important now and in the future to be able to deliver diagnostic processes to populations that...

HOW ROBOTS ARE HELPING DOCTORS SAVE LIVES IN THE CANADIAN NORTH

« HOW ROBOTS ARE HELPING DOCTORS SAVE LIVES IN THE CANADIAN NORTH Remote communities often lack access to diagnostic ultrasonography services. This gap disproportionally affects Indigenous pregnant women in the Canadian North and results in increases in maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. We are pioneering the use of an innovative tele-robotic ultrasound system that allows an expert sonographer to perform a diagnostic ultrasound study, in real time, in a distant location. Research shows that robotic ultrasonography is comparable to standard sonography and is accepted by most patients. » cf. article Pr.

USA – FDA APPROVAL FOR MELODY

The telerobotic ultrasound system MELODY is now cleared for marketing by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in USA. With nearly 10 million square kilometers for 320 million inhabitants, the US territory is a natural market for the development of tele-sonography. T-MedRobotics is the US importer of the MELODY solution. Contact: Claude BOBIN claude.bobin@t-medrobotics.com http://www.t-medrobotics.com...

CANADA – MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO TRANSPORT PATIENTS

The lack of access to a pre-maternal ultrasound test is concerning. “We will be able to offer them access to ultrasounds in a culturally safe manner, in their own communities, with their own families,with the expertise that’s available to the rest of us,” “We spend millions of dollars transporting patients from their home communities to the centralized system, so to be able not only to provide the ultrasound in their own communities; we’ll avoid the travel expenses, and importantly it will determine potential complications early enough so it will be less expensive to treat.”...

TELEMEDICINE MOBILE UNIT

TELEMEDICINE MOBILE UNIT TIMM EMBARKS MELODY ROBOT ON THE PYRENEES ROADS TecHopital article about TIMM project (mobile medical imaging), A mobile medical unit connected by satellite, 10 meters long and 3 wide, in which there are radiology, mammography, ultrasound, retinology, dermatoscopy and cardiology equipments. The TIMM medical truck offers nursing home patients and those located in islolated rural areas access to many diagnoses. The aim of the research project is to combat medical desertification and help seniors stay in their own homes, in remote areas away from radiology clinics (practices), but also, to make tele-sonography of visceral, digestive and cardiac pathologies accessible,...

EUROPEAN MAGAZINE HEALTH MANAGEMENT – Article about MELODY in Canada

Robotic Ultrasound Imaging: Improving Access to Care for Rural and Remote Populations (Canada) This article has been published into the European Health Management magazine. It describes the work of Dr. Ivar MENDEZ in Canada about the uses of the robotic remote ultrasound MELODY solution. « Approximately 20% of the Canadian population live in rural and remote communities with limited access to imaging due to lack of radiologists, technologists and infrastructure in these communities. Sonography is unique in that it is an operator- and user-dependent imaging modality and the skill and experience of the operator is paramount to accurate diagnosis. Telerobotic sonography opens up...

RSNA 2016 communication: « Telerobotic Ultrasound System May Improve Access to Care in Underserved Areas »

During the annual event of the RSNA "Radiological Society of North America", Dr. Scott J. Adams of the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine introduce the MELODY study in Canada: "The use of a telerobotic ultrasound (US) system allows sonographers and radiologists to perform US exams remotely with minimal training and set-up. The approach may provide an opportunity to establish remote US clinics in areas lacking skilled sonographers and radiologists. Telerobotic sonography may facilitate routine studies, after-hours sonography for emergent cases, or access to subspecialized sonography which would otherwise not be available, said Scott J. Adams...
