Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using health technology in chronic disease management?

  1. Improved patient engagement

  2. Reduced healthcare costs

  3. Increased risk of medication errors

  4. Enhanced communication between patients and healthcare providers


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Health technology can help reduce medication errors by providing accurate and timely information to patients and healthcare providers.

Remote monitoring devices are used to collect patient data remotely. Which of the following is NOT an example of a remote monitoring device?

  1. Blood pressure monitor

  2. Glucometer

  3. Activity tracker

  4. Stethoscope


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A stethoscope is not a remote monitoring device as it requires a healthcare provider to be physically present to use it.

Telehealth involves the use of technology to provide healthcare services remotely. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of telehealth?

  1. Increased access to healthcare services

  2. Reduced travel costs for patients

  3. Potential for misdiagnosis due to lack of physical examination

  4. Improved patient satisfaction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Telehealth allows healthcare providers to conduct virtual consultations and provide care remotely, reducing the need for in-person visits. However, it may pose a risk of misdiagnosis due to the lack of a physical examination.

Mobile health (mHealth) refers to the use of mobile devices in healthcare. Which of the following is NOT an example of an mHealth application?

  1. Medication management apps

  2. Fitness tracking apps

  3. Telemedicine apps

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Electronic health records (EHRs) are not considered mHealth applications as they are typically used by healthcare providers in clinical settings rather than by patients on mobile devices.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in chronic disease management. Which of the following is NOT a potential application of AI in this area?

  1. Predicting disease progression
