MONRAZ-PEREZ, Sergio et al. Telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2021, vol.80, n.2, pp.132-140.  Epub 01-Nov-2021. ISSN 0028-3746.  https://doi.org/10.35366/100996.

Telemedicine worldwide and in Mexico has been very useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Being able to provide health care services where distance is a critical factor, at a time when health services are saturated, and where face-to-face care implies a risk for both the health care provider and the patients, it has been indispensable during the pandemic. The speed with which telemedicine services have been implemented globally has been very different. There are still great challenges to be solved in order to provide this type of care worldwide. It should be noted that telemedicine complements patient care, rather than replacing the usual face-to-face care.

Palabras llave : Telemedicine; telehealth; e-health; COVID-19.
