Since the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, e-Health has become an alternative for patient care; however, few studies have shown the treatment results of this tool in the elderly. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of telemedicine treatment in the elderly. A systematic review was carried out according to the formulation of the question, literature search, selection of eligibility criteria, selection of articles, evaluation of the methodological quality of the studies, synthesis and levels of evidence. The PubMed, CINAHL and Science Direct databases were used. The search strategy was constructed according to the combination of MeSH descriptors, CINAHL Subjects, keywords, Boolean operators AND and OR. Experimental studies between 2017 and 2022 were included. All references were exported to the EndNote manager. Methodological quality was analyzed using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tools (MMAT) checklist. The deductive thematic analysis of the data was based on the Model for Assessment of Telemedicine Applications (MAST). Of a total of 2,628 articles identified, 15 duplicates were eliminated and 10 included. Telephone follow-up is a clinically effective tool that was evidenced by psychosocial changes in the elderly.
