About

Dr. Elysa Sandron is a leading researcher in the field of telehealth and remote healthcare delivery, with a particular focus on leveraging robotic technology to bridge gaps in rural and remote medicine. Her major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the efficacy and implementation of remote presence robotic tele-presentation—a technology that allows healthcare providers to virtually "be present" with patients in distant communities via a robotic interface. Her seminal 2024 systematic review, which has already garnered 5 citations, synthesized the available evidence on this innovative approach, highlighting its potential to overcome geographic barriers and improve access to care in underserved regions like rural and remote Canada. This work is foundational for policymakers and clinicians seeking to integrate robotic tele-presence into healthcare systems. Dr. Sandron’s research is notable for its practical impact, addressing a critical need for equitable healthcare in isolated communities. Her findings are paving the way for more patient-centered, technology-driven solutions, making her a key voice in the evolving landscape of digital health and telemedicine.
