Si la distinción entre salud electrónica y salud móvil radica en la tecnología (TIC [tecnología de la información y de la comunicación], en general, o dispositivos móviles, en particular), la distinción entre telesalud [y] telemedicina, en cambio, gira en torno a su finalidad o uso. La telesalud incluye los servicios no clínicos, como la educación continuada, la gestión de visitas médicas, el acceso a la historia clínica u otra información médica. La telemedicina consiste en la prestación de servicios clínicos a distancia, sea de diagnóstico, tratamiento o seguimiento del paciente.
