Question 4 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which of the following is an example of telemedicine?

Answer
A
a doctor who uses a robot to assist during surgery
B
a doctor who visits patients in their homes
C
a doctor who limits the number of patients allowed in a facility
D
a doctor who uses video technology to talk with a patient

Explanation

Telemedicine means providing medical care or consultation remotely using communication technology. A doctor who uses video technology to talk with a patient is giving care from a distance, so choice D is correct. A home visit is in person, and using a surgical robot does not by itself mean the doctor is consulting with a patient remotely.
