About
Dr. Gregory Hansen is a leading researcher in pediatric telehealth and rural health equity, with a focus on leveraging remote presence robotic technology (RPRT) to improve care for underserved populations. His groundbreaking work demonstrates how telemedicine can reduce unnecessary pediatric interfacility transportation from isolated northern communities—a study cited 31 times—by enabling real-time specialist assessments and refined triaging. Dr. Hansen also critically examines the cultural dimensions of remote care, as seen in his 15-citation paper on culturally safe health care for rural Indigenous children, which aligns with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action. By addressing both technological innovation and cultural sensitivity, his research has shaped policy and practice in pediatric telemedicine, directly impacting access to specialized services for Indigenous and remote communities. Dr. Hansen’s contributions bridge clinical efficiency with social justice, making him a pivotal figure in advancing equitable, technology-enabled health care for Canada’s most isolated children.
