1. Lesson 6: Telemedicine

2. What is telemedicine? Telemedicine is the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology Acquiring medical data (like medical images) and then transmitting this data to a doctor at a convenient time is an example of:

3. A. Trans MD B. Telemedicine C. Biomed D. Meditele

5. What is artificial intelligence? Artificial Intelligence is The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision- making, and translation between languages A distance runner uses a right prosthetic leg. The leg is able to remember the pace set during practice and adjust setting automatically depending on race circumstances. This type of telemedicine would be an example of:

6. A. artificial intelligence B. robotics C. virtual presence D. telecommunications

8. What is bioinformatics? Bioinformatics is the science of using computers, databases, and math to organize and analyze large amounts of biological, medical, and health information. Information may come from many sources, including patient statistics, tissue specimens, genetics research, and clinical trials. A pacemaker is designed to monitor and assist a weakened heart. It can provide feedback to a computer in a remote location. This type of technology is characterized as:

9. A. Meditele B. Bioinformatics C. Artificial intelligence D. Computer engineering

11. How do you use organized thought, contemporary technologies, and human creativity and curiosity to better understand the natural world? There are various examples of humans using the above factors to better understand the natural world. Some examples include: identification of planets around other stars, the Human Genome Project, and superconductors How do scientific discoveries such as the identification of planets around other stars, the Human Genome Project, and superconductors exemplify effective and focused research? They are examples of:

12. A. Using organized thought, contemporary technologies, and human creativity and curiosity to better understand the natural world. B. Lone scientists working in isolation to make discoveries about the natural world. C. Scientists making observations of natural events without the aid of advanced technologies. D. Accidental discoveries that happened because scientists were focused on one problem and instead discovered something completely unexpected.

14. What is robotics? Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. Many surgeries in the brain or heart required the use of sophisticated devices that can be controlled remotely. Being able to design these type of devices would require an understanding of:

15. A. web page development B. robotics C. construction principles D. machining basics
