Glossary term
Also known as Store-and-forward telehealth - Asynchronous telemedicine
Care delivered through written intake and messaging - no scheduled video visit required.
Asynchronous telehealth lets you submit intake answers, upload labs, and message providers on your schedule; licensed clinicians review and respond on theirs. It works well for chronic-care refills, GLP-1 titration, TRT monitoring, and most labs-driven pathways where the data matters more than the body language. Where it doesn't work: urgent symptoms, imaging or procedures, or cases that need hands-on exam. Roughly 80% of ALUKARD care happens asynchronously; the other 20% escalates to synchronous video when the case needs it.
