Trends in Health-Care Technology
Telemedicine enables remote health-care delivery using technology for diagnosis and treatment
Practice this chapterTelemedicine enables remote health-care delivery using technology for diagnosis and treatment Artificial intelligence (AI) enables machines to solve problems and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence by leveraging the power of computer science and robust data sets (IBM, n.d.-a)
AI enhances telemedicine by providing telemonitoring, diagnosis, treatment plans, patient engagement, and chronic disease management. The integration of AI and telemedicine can lead to improved quality of care, reduced costs, improved outcomes, optimized resources, and increased access to care.
telemedicine — remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology. artificial intelligence (AI) — ability of machines, by applying computing power to large amounts of data, to solve complex problems and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. augmented reality (AR) — superimposition of a computer-generated environment onto the real world to create an interactive experience for the user. consumer health informatics — field of study and application that focuses on the use of information and communication technologies to empower individuals in managing their health and health care.
Worked example
What does “telemedicine” mean in Trends in Health-Care Technology?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for telemedicine.
- 2The book says: remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology.
- 3Do not use the meaning of artificial intelligence (AI). That term means ability of machines, by applying computing power to large amounts of data, to solve complex problems and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Result: remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for telemedicine.
Do not swap telemedicine and artificial intelligence (AI). telemedicine means remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology. artificial intelligence (AI) means ability of machines, by applying computing power to large amounts of data, to solve complex problems and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
