About

Dr. Jiyang Tan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and emergency medicine, whose work focuses on developing remote robotic systems to enhance critical pre-hospital care. His most notable contribution is the design of the Remote Robot-Assisted Intubation System (RRAIS), a groundbreaking innovation aimed at improving the low success rates of endotracheal intubation (ETI) performed by paramedics compared to physicians. In a landmark 2018 study, Dr. Tan demonstrated the feasibility of this system by successfully intubating 20 pigs, achieving a 100% success rate with the robot versus direct laryngoscopy. This work, which has garnered 44 citations, addresses a critical gap in emergency medical services by enabling remote expert intervention. Dr. Tan’s research has significant implications for reducing complications in pre-hospital settings, particularly in rural or disaster scenarios where specialist access is limited. His achievements highlight a commitment to translating robotic technology into life-saving clinical tools, making him a key figure in the emerging field of tele-robotic emergency medicine.
