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

There are numerous devices and methods for utilizing telemedicine, the delivery of medicine, clinical care, medical communications and medical information at a distance. Among these methods and devices are real time telemedicine (synchronous) and store-and-forward telemedicine (asynchronous). ...

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

El 27 de Enero pasado tuvo lugar en Bruselas una Jornada de Telemedicina con el objetivo de estudiar las comunicaciones mediante satélites de comunicaciones y poder así dotar al continente africano de la infraestructura necesaria para estos servicios médicos. Frente a la telemedicina tradicional (si es que esta tecnología puede considerarse tradicional), la utilización de satélites de comunicaciones permitiría la mejora del servicio médico en países de difícil acceso y zonas remotas de África. Los asistentes a la Jornada aportaron ejemplos de telemedicina vía satélite para mostrar la relevancia de la tecnología espacial aplicada a este problema [Publicado el 1 de febrero de 2006]. 4, record 3, Spanish, - telemedicina%20v%C3%ADa%20sat%C3%A9lite

Telemedicina vía satélite. La amplia cobertura satelital disponible permite acercar la asistencia sanitaria a los ciudadanos de toda África. La Telemedicina en tiempo real exige un importante ancho de banda y una calidad de servicio de las telecomunicaciones que solamente el satélite puede proporcionar en toda su cobertura […]. El resultado será una mejora sustancial de la calidad asistencial, la optimización de los recursos e infraestructuras existentes y una importante reducción de costes. 5, record 3, Spanish, - telemedicina%20v%C3%ADa%20sat%C3%A9lite
