and the significance of this type of healthcare delivery in the US. Answer -
Synchronous or real-time telehealth requires the presence of both parties at

common forms of technologies used in synchronous telehealth. There are also
peripheral devices that can be attached to computers or the videoconferencing
equipment, which can aid in an interactive examination.
Asynchronous telehealth involves acquiring medical data (e.g., medical images,
biosignals, voice recordings) and then transmitting these data to a doctor or
medical specialist at a convenient time for assessment offline. It does not
require the presence of both parties at the same time.
