Lecture 10 Flashcards
What is telemedicine
The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to provide clinical health care from a distance.
What are the four established areas of telemedicine
Teleradiology, telepathology, teledermatology, and telepsychiatry.
What is telenephrology
Providing healthcare to remotely located patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) via telemedicine
What are the 4 Ps of personalised medicine
Participatory, personalised, preventive, and predictive.
What does personalised healthcare aim to achieve
Tailoring prevention and treatment to the patient, moving away from a “one size fits all” approach
What are the categories of wearable sensors
Mechanical, physiological, and biochemical.
How do wearables facilitate personalised healthcare
By enabling monitoring outside of the clinic, predicting, preventing, and intervening in health issues.
What are some leading continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices?
Dexcom®, Medtronic, and Abbott.
What are some non-invasive CGMs under investigation?
Tear-based glucose sensing (Noviosense) and GlucoWise (using high-frequency low-power radio waves).
What are the types of monitoring for cardiac health
Temporary passive monitoring (e.g., iRhythm ZioPatch), continuous impassive monitoring (e.g., AliveCor® KardiaBand), and continuous passive monitoring (optical heart rate sensors)
