The rapid development of information technologies that has taken place in recent decades, has led to a profound change in the traditional professional relationship between physician and patient. What began many years ago as a simple telephone answer to a patient's request, and then passed through the fax machine, has now reached the impressive ability to transmit in real time, and digitally, overly complex biomedical information of all forms and types. The development of technology and digital means almost obviates the need to visit a physician.

New technologies now allow physicians to gather, from a distance, complex and vital medical information and meet the medical needs of their patients, without them having to spend valuable time in an appointment with the physician. The rapid exchange of medical information allows the patient to remain in his natural environment, taking a larger part and being responsible for managing his health. Remote medicine has many benefits: It allows patient follow-up regardless of location, time, availability of medical equipment and availability of physicians. There are great benefits for an older population, which is usually less mobile for remote care. Smart devices, wearable or transplanted, will allow remote collection of information that until now was only available inside the hospital and required hospitalization. They will transmit accurate

physiological data from the patient's body, such as fever, blood pressure, pulse, and saturation, and allow the treating staff to provide quality care, early enough to stop the disease from deteriorating.The possibilities of smart devices that are able to monitor patients regularly, gather quality information about their health and adjust the treatment and improve the level of medicine, are an interesting and special opportunity in front of us, which allows us to redefine the relationship between physician and patient. This revolution offers industrial designers almost unlimited possibilities for product design. The designer of tomorrow will harness these technologies and means in order to develop more efficient and correct innovative products that meet the real needs of changing users.

Along with the many benefits that these technologies allow, it is impossible not to address the grave concerns regarding the issues of medical ethics: Maintaining medical confidentiality, securing and documenting medical information, reliability of medical information and more. During the third year, the students study the field from different directions and formulate original and innovative concepts that wisely harness the advanced technologies in order to streamline medicine remotely.
