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.
