ABSTRACT
In the current COVID-19 pandemic, where social distance is the
norm and hospitals have turned into infection hotspots, it's vital for
health-care providers to figure out how to provide care to the elderly
while limiting their exposure to healthcare environments. In light of
the ongoing pandemic, it has been suggested that older people be
replaced by virtual visits and told to attend to the doctor right away.
Telehealth-based therapies have emerged as viable options for
overcoming these geriatric care delivery roadblocks. Even in the
most remote regions, technological developments have solved the
challenge of telehealth access. Teleconsultation is becoming a
realistic option for the elderly and health-care practitioners in this age
of information technology. Despite the fact that the difficulties we
face are complex and hence cannot be addressed with a single, all-
encompassing solution,
telemedicine and tele-health based
interventions appear to hold promise in complementing our efforts in
this area. In terms of providing quality treatment without having to
relocate, telehealth is useful for both the elderly and healthcare
providers.
