| Scope note | Synchronicity is used here to incorporate both timing and technology. With regard to timing, telemedicine may be either synchronous (i.e., in real time), referring to the concurrent presence of interacting participants located at different places; or asynchronous (store-and-forward), in which the participants do not interact in real time. Both modes involve a variety of technologies, including videoconferencing, telemetry and remote sensing, and other modes of interactive health communication.
