About

Dr. Maria X. Sanmartin is a leading health economist and outcomes researcher whose work bridges clinical innovation and healthcare policy, with a focus on stroke care and cost-effectiveness analysis. Her most cited study, "Cost-effectiveness of remote robotic mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke" (2023, 9 citations), provides a rigorous economic evaluation of remote robotic (RR)-EVT systems, demonstrating their potential to reduce critical time delays in patient transfers from primary to comprehensive stroke centers. This work quantifies the clinical and financial value of tele-robotic technology, offering a compelling case for its adoption in underserved regions. Dr. Sanmartin’s research is distinguished by its practical impact—she translates complex clinical data into actionable insights for healthcare systems, addressing the pressing challenge of equitable access to time-sensitive stroke interventions. Her contributions have been recognized for advancing the field of neurovascular health economics, and she continues to shape policy discussions on resource allocation in acute care. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. Sanmartin is a vital voice for evidence-based decision-making in stroke treatment.
