Evaluating the impacts of network latency, haptics, and ergonomics in a Haptically-Enabled Robot for Teleoperated Echocardiography
The HERTEC system demonstrates the potential for enabling reliable and efficient remote echocardiography, even under moderate network latency conditions. Haptic feedback and ergonomic enhancements play critical roles in improving usability and operator performance. Future research will focus on refining the system's force-feedback calibration, enhancing ergonomics, and validating clinical efficacy with a larger participant cohort.
