  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec> <jats:title>Introduction:</jats:title> <jats:p>Telemedicine (TM) and teleconsultation services flourished during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission to avoid COVID-19 infection and physical contact. Many physicians switched to the virtual treatment mode and nearly all types of health disciplines were covered. Through this systematic review, the authors tried to explore the strengths and weaknesses of TM, identify the barriers to adopting TM by population, and explain the limitations of this healthcare delivery model.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods and results:</jats:title> <jats:p>In this systematic review, 28 studies were included (&gt;53% high-quality studies) as eligible, where nearly 75% (<jats:italic toggle="yes">n</jats:italic>=21) of the studies were from India, and the remaining 25% (<jats:italic toggle="yes">n</jats:italic>=7) were from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Advice related to cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurological diseases were the most common among the health disciplines in which TM was used. A peak in teleconsultation was observed during the high transmission phase of COVID-19, although major queries were associated with existing health complications and comorbidities.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title> <jats:p>Other than a few concerns regarding connectivity, privacy, and diagnosis, TM was in fact affordable, timesaving, feasible, and accurate, which ensured a highly satisfying experience among the participants (&gt;80%).</jats:p> </jats:sec>
