remote care
Virtual medical attention
Remote care is healthcare delivered when patient and provider are in different locations, using technology like video calls, phone consultations, or monitoring devices.
The term encompasses telemedicine visits, at-home health monitoring, and virtual check-ins: Remote care allowed her to consult specialists without traveling three hours to the city.
It gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person visits became restricted.
