Providing health care remotely using technology is known as?

• A. Medical Technology
• B. Telemedicine
• C. Interventional X-rays
• D. Health Insurance Systems

Answer: (B)

Providing health care remotely using technology is called telemedicine. It involves delivering clinical services from a distance through telecommunications and information technologies, such as video visits with a clinician, remote monitoring of vital signs, and sending patient data or images for later review. This focus is on delivering care away from in-person visits, which distinguishes it from broader medical technology (the tools and devices used in care) and from interventional X-rays (a specific imaging procedure). Health insurance systems relate to financing rather than how care is delivered. Telemedicine helps increase access to care, improve convenience, and enable timely consultations, especially for patients who are distant from traditional clinics.
