video visits

Screen-based consultations

Video visits are medical appointments conducted remotely through video conferencing rather than in person.

The term emerged in healthcare to describe telemedicine consultations where patient and provider see each other on screen: My doctor offers video visits for routine follow-ups.

The format expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains common for non-emergency care.
