Space, time, and presence in video consultations: an interview study in Danish general practice
The balance between space and time is altered in the video consultation. GPs and patients lack certain sensory impressions, owing to the changed spatiality. The changed spatiality, sensation and experiences of presence lead the participants to eliminate the expendable elements to make the consultation more efficient. Video consultations allow some issues to be handled quickly, but the option for physical consultations still needs to be available, as we believe we now can argue that the physical consultation room has importance for the experience of presence and time.
