Remote consultation is legally possible even in small cities. However, without the core diagnostic methods of traditional Korean medicine—inspection, listening, inquiry, and palpation (望聞問切), especially pulse diagnosis (脈診) and abdominal diagnosis (腹診)—the accuracy of pattern differentiation (辨證) inevitably decreases. For example, distinguishing between spleen deficiency (脾虛), phlegm-fluid retention (痰飮), or blood stasis (瘀血) relies heavily on pulse and abdominal tension. In my experience, when initially consulting and prescribing remotely, I often felt that an in-person visit would have revealed crucial information. Advantages include no travel time, flexible scheduling, and convenience for office workers to connect during lunch or after work. Light constitution improvement or lifestyle advice can be effectively handled remotely. Disadvantages: herbal prescriptions require detailed questioning about digestion, bowel movements, skin dryness, sweating, etc., which is limited via screen. Even for spleen deficiency (脾虛), the formula differs depending on whether there is accompanying heat or dampness (濕), and inquiry alone cannot fully distinguish this. Therefore, I recommend remote care for initial consultations or follow-ups, but at least one in-person visit for formal prescription. For diet treatment, which involves complex interactions of constitution and lifestyle, a common approach is an in-person visit followed by remote maintenance. In conclusion, can remote consultation fully replace in-person visits? I often say as a practitioner that without pulse diagnosis, half of the diagnostic picture is lost—the diagnostic scope narrows. However, for those prioritizing accessibility, use remote care for initial advice or supplementary support, and make time for an in-person visit when possible.
