Setting: Canadian PICUs.

Remote Presence Robotic Technology Reduces Need for Pediatric Interfacility Transportation from an Isolated Northern Community.

Background: Providing acutely ill children in isolated communities access to specialized care is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate remote presence robotic technology (RPRT) for enhancing pediatric remote assessments, expediting initiation of treatment, refining triaging, and reducing the need for transport.

Methods: We conducted a pilot prospective observational study at a primary/urgent care clinic in an isolated northern community.
