Quand la distance reconfigure la pratique clinique. Une analyse multimodale des interactions en télémédecine

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand the configuration of communication and sensory activity during clinical teleconsultations. To do this, we present a research conducted in collaboration with a simulation laboratory to study the interactions that occur during teleconsultations. By conducting a multimodal analysis of video recordings of orthopaedic teleconsultations, we describe how physicians reorganize their communicative and sensory activity by organizing the teleconsultation space to create a “shared place”. Doing so, they allow the practical accomplishment of “sensing-at-distance”.
