Rob Schluth: Rob Schluth is a project leader focusing on content development and program management for the Device Safety group at ECRI—an independent, nonprofit research organization providing unbiased guidance on medical technologies, treatments, and practices to help build a safer, equitable healthcare system for all. During his 30 years at ECRI, Rob has contributed to hundreds of the organization’s product evaluations, problem reports, and guidance articles spanning the full range of health technologies.
Rob currently leads the development of ECRI’s annual Top 10 Health Technology Hazards report. Each edition of the report identifies potential sources of harm associated with medical technologies and provides recommendations for action. The annual report helps healthcare organizations and care providers reduce preventable harm through the improved management of health technologies.
Francisco Rodriguez Campos, PhD: Francisco Rodriguez-Campos, Ph.D., is a subject matter expert and device evaluator in ECRI’s Device Safety group. Areas of focus include medical imaging technologies (x-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, breast tomosynthesis, molecular imaging), as well as cloud-based imaging archiving technologies, image-guided surgical technologies, computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI) applications and data governance, and sustainable healthcare operations.
Before joining ECRI, Francisco was a neuroscientist and instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, where he performed image-guided (CT and MRI) surgeries to place chronic implants in old-world macaques and taught in the biomedical engineering program. He has served as a project manager for a Medical Technology assessment project for the El Salvador Social Security Administration, as a consultant to PAHO/WHO in the deployment of medical technology-related projects in El Salvador and Nicaragua, and as the director of the clinical engineering graduate program at Universidad Don Bosco and professor of medical imaging in the biomedical engineering undergraduate program.
