The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University to investigate technologies and practices that enable remote physicians to collaborate with on-site nurses to perform medical physical examinations. The research will develop touch sensing and display technologies, interaction methodologies, and medical/nursing practices for remote physical examinations using nurse-worn tactile sensing gloves and a physician-operated multimodal interactive examination "cockpit". The research aims to transform telemedicine practices and address the need for inclusive access to healthcare, especially in underserved and rural communities and during infectious disease outbreaks. The project will run from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 and does not include any planned subawards.
