About
Jessica McKee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, telesurgery, and emergency medicine, whose work addresses critical challenges in delivering care under extreme conditions. Her primary research areas include semi-autonomous surgical systems, prehospital cognitive ergonomics, and robotic hemorrhage control in hostile environments. McKee’s most impactful contribution is the development of ASAP (Semi-Autonomous Precise System for Telesurgery), which mitigates the fatal risks of communication delays—as small as 300ms—in remote and rural telesurgery, a breakthrough with 17 citations. She also introduced the concept of a “human-proof pointy-end,” a robotically applied hemostatic clamp designed for “care-under-fire” scenarios, such as active shooter incidents, where human responders cannot safely intervene. This work, published in 2019 and 2022, harnesses bomb robots for hemorrhage control, bridging robotics and tactical medicine. Additionally, McKee’s 2023 paper on human cognitive architecture in stressful prehospital interventions highlights her commitment to optimizing care provider performance. With a focus on saving lives where traditional approaches fail, McKee’s research is shaping the future of autonomous emergency response and remote surgery.
