About
Dr. Maria I. Aguilar is a leading vascular neurologist whose research centers on acute stroke care delivery, telemedicine, and health systems optimization. Her most cited work, a 2014 study comparing robotic telepresence to standard supervised stroke alert assessments, demonstrated that remote telemedicine evaluations are as efficient as in-person supervision—a pivotal finding that has helped expand equitable access to emergency stroke care across underserved and rural communities. This study has garnered 12 citations, underscoring its influence on tele-neurology protocols. Dr. Aguilar’s broader contributions include advancing telestroke networks, refining acute treatment timelines, and improving clinical outcomes through technology-enabled care. Her research bridges the gap between innovation and practical emergency medicine, making her a key figure in shaping modern stroke response systems. For students and researchers, her work illustrates how telemedicine can overcome geographic barriers, ensuring that every patient receives timely, expert neurological assessment regardless of location.
