✦Grammar Breakdown
Lamayoríadelasconsultasportelemedicinasehacenporvídeo
La mayoría de + sustantivo
The construction "la mayoría de" is used to express "the majority of" and is always followed by a noun phrase that agrees in gender and number.
Plural noun agreement
"consultas" is a feminine plural noun, so the article "las" and the adjective "mayoría" (which is singular) stay unchanged.
Por + sustantivo (means)
When "por" introduces a noun, it indicates the means or method by which something is done (e.g., "por vídeo" = "by video").
Se + hacen (pasiva refleja)
The reflexive "se" + third‑person verb creates a passive‑like construction: "se hacen" = "are done/are carried out".
Telemedicina
A compound noun formed from "tele" (distance) and "medicina"; it behaves like a regular feminine noun.

✕Common Mistakes
La mayoría de los consultas por telemedicina se hacen por vídeo.
The noun "consultas" is feminine, so the article must be "las", not "los".
La mayoría de las consultas por telemedicina se hacen por video.
The word "video" should carry an accent ("vídeo") in standard Spanish.

Omitting the reflexive "se" changes the meaning; "hacen" alone would imply the subject does the action actively, not passively.

Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries "vídeo" carries an accent on the "i"; however, in informal digital communication the accent is sometimes omitted. When speaking formally (e.g., in a medical report), keep the accent. Also, note that "telemedicina" is a relatively new term, so older generations may still refer to it as "consulta a distancia" or "consulta virtual".
