digital exam

Computer-based test

A digital exam is a medical examination performed with a finger—digit being the clinical term for finger.

The doctor inserts a gloved finger into a body cavity to feel for abnormalities: The doctor performed a digital rectal exam to check the prostate.

Despite the age of online testing, digital exam in medical contexts still means examination by touch.
