Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf PDA(personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.
All the following statements are true EXCEPT that______.
选项
A、it is now feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over telephone
B、flood is not among the disasters mentioned in the passage
C、the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing global access to medical data
D、telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool for disaster response
答案
D
解析
第三段提到,其他医疗技术小组正在尝试将远距离医疗的方法应用于乡间的医疗服务,而且,至少有一个小组想使用远距离医疗作为对付灾难——如地震的工具。可见,选择项D的主要问题在many上。有关A参阅第二段第三、四句。有关B参阅第四段第三句。有关C参阅第三段第三句。该句的意思是:总的来说,(这种做法的)发展趋势是向全球范围内提供医疗数据和医术服务。
