About

Antonio Marttos is a pioneering researcher in trauma surgery and telemedicine, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how critical care is delivered in high-stakes environments. His primary research areas focus on the integration of telepresence and robotic communication platforms into trauma intensive care units (TICU) and operating rooms. Marttos’s major contributions include demonstrating that telemedical robots can enhance clinician teamwork during patient rounds, as evidenced by his 2015 study (39 citations), which examined team attitudes, behaviors, and cognitions. He also proved the usability and user satisfaction of telepresence systems in a Level 1 trauma center (2013, 26 citations), and validated their feasibility in live surgical settings (2012, 18 citations). By addressing limited resources and the diminishing physician workforce, Marttos has shown that remote physicians can effectively participate in urban trauma care without compromising quality. His work is notable for being among the first to test robotic telepresence in real operating rooms, bridging the gap between technology and acute surgical practice. With a cumulative impact of over 80 citations on these key studies, Marttos continues to influence the future of trauma care, making him a vital figure for students and researchers interested in surgical innovation and digital health.
