About

Ricardo Paez is a pioneering figure at the intersection of robotics and neuroendovascular medicine, with his work centering on the development and clinical translation of robotic-assisted surgical systems for stroke care and complex vascular interventions. His major contributions include foundational analyses of how robotic platforms can enhance precision, reduce radiation exposure, and enable tele-stroke models of care—a concept that gained urgency during the COVID-19 pandemic. His most-cited paper, "Robotics for neuroendovascular intervention: Background and primer" (2021, 16 citations), serves as a definitive primer for clinicians and engineers, systematically mapping the technical requirements, current limitations, and future directions of the field. Paez’s research has been instrumental in bridging engineering innovation with clinical practice, demonstrating how teleoperated robotics can extend specialized neurovascular expertise to underserved regions. His work has been cited in leading neurosurgery and robotics journals, reflecting its influence on both device design and stroke care delivery. By championing robotic tele-stroke networks, Paez is helping to reshape acute stroke treatment, making life-saving interventions more accessible and equitable.
