About

Sarah J. Doherty is a pioneering researcher in the field of telemedicine and remote medical robotics, with a primary focus on expanding access to diagnostic imaging through telerobotic systems. Her most influential work, "Feasibility of Intercity and Trans-Atlantic Telerobotic Remote Ultrasound" (2014), has garnered 40 citations and stands as a landmark study demonstrating the practical viability of performing ultrasound examinations across vast distances. In this groundbreaking paper, Doherty and her team successfully conducted remote ultrasound procedures between cities and even across the Atlantic Ocean, proving that robotic tele-ultrasound could overcome geographical barriers to healthcare. This work has significant implications for rural medicine, disaster response, and space exploration, where specialist access is limited. Doherty's contributions have helped establish the technical and operational frameworks for remote medical robotics, addressing critical challenges in latency, haptic feedback, and image quality. Her research continues to influence the development of telemedicine protocols and robotic surgical systems, making her a key figure in the ongoing transformation of global healthcare delivery.
