The Gazette: IOWA CITY — Two robots sit at both Mercy Medical Center in Clinton and the Grinnell Regional Medical Center. Since 2012, these robots have brought neurology experts from the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics to stroke patients' bedsides.
The wireless robots offer two-way video conferencing that allow neurologists to ask patients questions and gather clinical information. The UI neurologist and emergency room physician can then determine the severity of the stroke and whether the patient should be transferred to Iowa City for further treatment.
