Abstract

According to various embodiments, there is provided a method for determining a neurological condition of a subject using a robotic system. The robotic system includes a transducer. The method includes determining, by a computing system, a first location with respect to a vessel of the subject, the robotic system configured to position the transducer at the first location. The method further includes receiving, by the computing system, a first signal from the vessel in response to the transducer transmitting acoustic energy towards the vessel. The method further includes analyzing, by the computing system, the received first signal to determine a first parameter of blood flow in the vessel. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, the neurological condition of the subject based on the first parameter of the blood flow in the vessel.
