About

Jagat Narula is a pioneering researcher in the fields of telemedicine, remote diagnostics, and robotic-assisted medical imaging, with a focus on expanding access to critical healthcare through technology. His major contributions center on the development and validation of robot-assisted remote echocardiography, demonstrating that expert ultrasound examinations can be performed across vast distances—even intercity and trans-Atlantic—without a specialist physically present. His landmark 2014 paper, "Robot-Assisted Remote Echocardiographic Examination and Teleconsultation," has garnered 78 citations, while his follow-up study on intercity and trans-Atlantic telerobotic ultrasound (40 citations) proved the feasibility of real-time, robot-guided cardiac assessments across continents. Narula’s work has profound implications for rural and underserved populations, enabling timely diagnosis of heart conditions without travel. His achievements include establishing protocols that integrate robotics, telecommunication, and clinical expertise, effectively bridging gaps in healthcare delivery. By showing that robotic tele-ultrasound is not only possible but practical, Narula has laid a foundation for future innovations in remote medicine, making him a key figure in the evolution of telecardiology and global health equity.
