The overall objective of this investigation is to understand the patient response to a robotic platform used to facilitate telehealth triage in the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the manner in which emergency department triage is completed. Attempts at cohorting individuals with potential COVID-19 disease in order to prevent disease transmission to healthcare workers and minimize the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) have renewed interest in telemedical solutions as a method to triage and manage individuals with COVID-19. This investigation deploys a legged robotic platform to facilitate agile, highly mobile telemedicine to manage COVID-19 patients in the emergency department. The primary objective is to measure the patient response to interacting with these systems.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention arm | Patients presenting to the emergency department are triaged using a novel robotic telehealth triage system. Once triage is complete, patients complete a quantitative assessment to measure their acceptance and willingness to interact with the robotic telehealth system. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doctor Spot | Device | Robotic platform (Boston Dynamics) controlled by clinician with video interface to facilitate telemedicine triage |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptance of robotic telehealth system | Quantitative questionnaire on the acceptance of virtual robotic care graded on a likert scale (higher scores better) | Immediately after completion of triage |
| Willingness to interact with robotic telehealth system | Quantitative questionnaire on the willingness to use this system again based on a likert scale (higher scores better) | Immediately after completion of triage |
| Satisfaction of interacting with a robotic telehealth system | Quantitative questionnaire on the user satisfaction with their triage experience (How satisfied were you with your experience interacting with the robotic system today?) | Immediately after completion of triage |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Use of robotic system versus in-person triage | Quantitative questionnaire comparing robotic triage process with in-person triage: Do you think your interaction with the robotic system was better, the same or no different than an in-person evaluation?) | Immediately after completion of triage |
