Telerobotic ultrasound to provide obstetrical ultrasound services remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

A telerobotic ultrasound system may be used to answer focused clinical questions such as foetal viability, dating and foetal presentation in a timely manner while minimising patient travel to larger centres and potential exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), during the COVID-19 pandemic.
