Abstract

The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and Covid-19 changed not only the state of health, and the control of mortality, mainly in countries with strong health systems, brought about social, economic, psychological and interactional crises; and it exacerbated the lack of health care due to the saturation of hospitals in the world. Despite the fact that telemedicine was already a viable option since the appearance of the web, it was that with the pandemic the population looked for different types of care, ranging from the call center, to the use of health applications. The objective of this article is to describe telemedicine options, as well as to denote the importance of taking care of ethical protocols, guidelines and procedures.

Conclusion: The increased prevalence of anxiety disorders, stress, sleep disorders, depression and fear, can be treated remotely effectively and efficiently; however, it is essential that the services offered maintain security, validity and functionality principles, supported by guidelines and protocols, and the exercise of ethical analysis related
to health care.
