virtual care
Online medical appointments
Virtual care is healthcare delivered remotely through digital technology—video calls, phone consultations, messaging, or apps—rather than in-person visits.
The term covers everything from a quick chat with a nurse to ongoing management of chronic conditions: My doctor offers virtual care for routine follow-ups.
Also called telehealth or telemedicine.
