As part of its remote physician presence robot network, University of Louisville Hospital is dedicated to the quick assessment and treatment of stroke patients throughout Kentucky and in southern Indiana.

Through the use of the RP-7™ robot, University Hospital’s stroke neurologists have the technological capabilities to promptly diagnose stroke patients in areas of Kentucky and southern Indiana that may not have access to stroke specialists.

UofL Health Care’s remote physician presence robot network provides highly specialized expertise and support resources of the UofL medical faculty to outlying hospitals via a remote controlled robot.

The ability to quickly assess victims of stroke increases the chances of improved outcomes. If patients are treated within an important three-hour time window from the first sign of symptoms, the likelihood of long-term, debilitating effects are decreased.
Thanks to the collaboration with other hospitals and the technological advancements seen in the remote physician presence robot network, patients outside of University Hospital have access to the same, high quality stroke care that is provided at University Hospital’s Stroke Center.
