    Study Notes

    Telehealth, Telemedicine, and Bioinformatics Overview

    • Digital Radiography (DR) allows cassettes to be erased and reused, eliminating the need for laser scanning.
    • Disadvantages of PACS systems include high cost, complexity of integration, and lack of interoperability with other PACSs.
    • Telehealth involves using electronic information and telecommunications to support long-distance clinical health care, education, and public health.
    • Telemedicine is gaining popularity due to rising healthcare costs, specialist shortages in rural areas, and an aging population.
    • Telemedicine transmission modes include store-and-forward, real-time, and remote monitoring.
    • Barriers to telemedicine adoption include limited reimbursement, high initial costs, and licensure laws.
    • The goals of telehealth include preventing readmissions, addressing specialist shortages, and improving collaboration among healthcare organizations.
    • Bioinformatics merges biology, computer science, and information technology to develop algorithms for biological hypotheses.
    • Genomics, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, and metabolomics are all areas within the field of bioinformatics.
    • Phenotype refers to observable characteristics of an organism, while genotype is based on raw genetic information.
    • The Human Genome Project, an international collaborative effort, was completed in 2003 and led to the discovery of 3 million SNPs.
    • Personal genomics aims to develop tailored medications and treatments based on individual genetic profiles, with projects like the "All of Us Project" collecting biological data for personalized medicine.
