Telemedicine consultations are primarily classified according to the type of interaction that takes place between the patient and the health practitioner. "Synchronous telemedicine" (also called real-time telemedicine) refers to real-time interaction between the sender and the receiver of the data. During such a teleconsultation, there are insignificant time delays between the sending, receiving and collection of data. The most widely used means of synchronous telemedicine is videoconferencing. 3, record 1, English, - synchronous%20telemedicine

Real-time telemedicine could be as simple as a telephone call or as complex as robotic surgery. It requires the presence of both parties at the same time and a communication link between them that allows a real-time interaction to take place. 4, record 1, English, - synchronous%20telemedicine

La télémédecine asynchrone [...] repose sur le stockage et la transmission de données relatives à la santé de telle sorte que le prestataire de soins évalue les données d’un patient(qu'il s’agisse d’images, de messagerie texte et/ou de données tirées du dossier médical) en l'absence d’interaction clinique en temps réel. Le clinicien transmet plutôt son évaluation par l'intermédiaire d’un portail de dossiers médicaux électroniques(DME), de courriels, d’appels téléphoniques ou de messagerie texte, conformément aux lois et règlements en vigueur. 4, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9m%C3%A9decine%20asynchrone
