What term refers to using digital information and communication technologies to access healthcare services remotely and manage health?

• A. telemedicine
• B. telehealth
• C. CRISPR
• D. surgical robots

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is telehealth, which covers using digital information and communication technologies to access health care and manage health remotely. This includes not only virtual visits with clinicians but also remote monitoring, secure messaging, and online health education, all supported by technology. Telehealth is broader than telemedicine; while telemedicine focuses on remote clinical services, telehealth encompasses both clinical and nonclinical health care activities delivered or supported remotely. In this sense, the term described in the question best fits telehealth because it emphasizes the overall use of digital tools to access care and manage health. The other options don’t fit: CRISPR is a gene-editing technology, and surgical robots are devices used for procedures, not for delivering remote health services or management.
