A physician office would like to adopt a tool that would provide it the opportunity to collect images and monitor luminal fluid and the contents of each gut segment, including metabolites, electrolytes, hormones, enzymes, and microbial communities, via smartphones, which are easily observed online and reviewed by patients and physicians.Which tool will allow the physician office these options?
A smartphone-connected rhythm monitoring device
A wearable sensor
An ingestible sensor
A lab-on-a-chip
The Correct Answer is C
A. A smartphone-connected rhythm monitoring device. – Rhythm monitoring devices focus on cardiac rhythms and do not collect comprehensive gut data.
B. A wearable sensor. – Wearable sensors typically monitor external metrics (like heart rate, steps) rather than internal metrics such as gut contents.
C. An ingestible sensor. – Ingestible sensors are designed to collect data on internal conditions, such as gut contents, and can communicate this information to smartphones for both patient and physician access.
D. A lab-on-a-chip. – Lab-on-a-chip technology typically involves small laboratory functions on a microchip but is not necessarily designed for continuous monitoring in the body.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Pharmacy information system. – This system manages medications and inventory in the pharmacy but is unrelated to imaging or radiology.
B. Radiology-information system. – This system organizes, tracks, and manages radiology-related data, including scheduling and reports, which would be useful for locating misplaced MRI scans.
C. Laboratory-information system. – This system manages lab test data, such as bloodwork or pathology, but is unrelated to imaging studies like MRI.
D. Picture archiving and communication system. – While this system stores and allows access to imaging files (like MRIs), it does not manage radiology workflows, making the Radiology Information System (RIS) the more suitable choice.
