flag A Toronto hospital has achieved a world-first by using a remote robotic system to perform stroke treatments, with a neurovascular specialist controlling a robot from up to six kilometers away to remove blood clots in the brain. flag The procedure, which relies on a high-speed fiber optic connection, could soon be expanded to Sault Ste. flag Marie, where patients currently face long delays due to a lack of specialists. flag The team aims to begin clinical trials with Health Canada approval, train local staff, and eventually bring the technology to other remote areas, potentially saving lives by reducing critical treatment delays.
