Asynchronous Telehealth

Asynchronous telehealth refers to a healthcare communication method where patients and providers exchange information at different times, rather than in real-time. For example, a patient might submit a medical history or photos of a skin condition through a secure platform, and the healthcare provider reviews these details later to offer a diagnosis or advice. This flexible approach allows both parties to communicate on their own schedules, making healthcare more accessible and convenient without the need for immediate interaction. It’s useful for follow-ups, minor issues, or when real-time consultation isn’t necessary.
