b. Live Telemedicine
Live telemedicine involves real-time interaction between patients and healthcare providers, requiring their simultaneous presence through video calls, phone calls, or online messaging. This allows for remote consultations, diagnoses, treatment planning, and other medical services to be delivered when the patient and the healthcare provider are in different physical locations. Traditional medicine typically involves in-person consultations and treatments, while store-and-forward telemedicine involves the transfer of medical data and information between healthcare providers at different times without requiring simultaneous presence. Blackboard does not specifically relate to healthcare services.
