About
Arlene Garingo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neonatology and telemedicine, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how critical care is delivered to the most vulnerable patients. Her primary research focuses on the feasibility and implementation of mobile robotic telemedicine technology in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Garingo’s major contributions include demonstrating that remotely controlled robots can effectively facilitate "tele-rounding"—allowing specialists to conduct daily bedside rounds from a distance. Her landmark 2011 study, cited 72 times, established the foundational proof-of-concept for this approach, while her 2015 prospective investigation (55 citations) rigorously validated its clinical feasibility by matching patient cohorts. This work directly addresses critical shortages of neonatologists in rural and underserved areas, proving that high-quality, real-time assessments are possible without a physician physically present. By pioneering these telemedicine protocols, Garingo has not only expanded access to specialized neonatal care but also laid the groundwork for a new standard in remote intensive care, ensuring that even the smallest patients receive timely, expert attention regardless of geographic barriers.
