About

Thomas Kardashian-Sieger is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of telemedicine and ophthalmology, with a focused expertise in leveraging innovative technologies to enhance patient education and clinical outcomes in glaucoma care. His most cited work, "Use of Telepresence Robots in Glaucoma Patient Education" (2020), with 4 citations, represents a foundational contribution to the field. In this study, he demonstrated that telepresence robots (TR) can effectively deliver remote educational sessions, significantly improving disease knowledge among glaucoma patients. Notably, his research highlighted the critical role of TR in maintaining social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering a practical solution to a pressing clinical challenge. Kardashian-Sieger’s work bridges the gap between technology and patient-centered care, showcasing how robotics can transform chronic disease management. His contributions are particularly impactful for researchers and clinicians exploring telehealth innovations, as they provide a replicable model for remote education in ophthalmology. With a clear vision for integrating robotics into routine clinical practice, Kardashian-Sieger continues to shape the future of patient engagement and education in glaucoma.
