Telepsychiatry service types.
| Service type | Definition | Advantages | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synchronous | Real-time video consultations (e.g., Zoom, Teams) | Immediate interaction, direct feedback | Requires internet stability and real-time presence |
| Asynchronous | Delayed communication (e.g., email, recorded messages) | Flexible scheduling, useful for documentation | Lack of immediacy, limited patient engagement |
| Telemonitoring | Transmission of real-time patient data without direct interaction | Continuous tracking of mood, behavior, or medication adherence | Absence of therapeutic interaction, potential privacy concerns |
