telemedicine and the significance of this type of healthcare delivery in the
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
US.?
Answer:
Synchronous or real-time telehealth requires the presence of both parties
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
at the same time and a communication link between them that allows a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
real-time interaction to take place. Videoconferencing equipment is one
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
of the most common forms of technologies used in synchronous
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
telehealth. There are also peripheral devices that can be attached to
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
computers or the videoconferencing equipment, which can aid in an
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
interactive examination. i,-
Asynchronous telehealth involves acquiring medical data (e.g., medical i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
images, biosignals, voice recordings) and then transmitting these data to a
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
doctor or medical specialist at a convenient time for assessment offline. It
i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,- i,-
does not require the presence of both parties at the same time.
