Management of Obesity Using Telemedicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: IMPORTANCE: During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine visits increased to provide safer access to healthcare. METHODS: To evaluate the role of telemedicine in obesity management during COVID-19, we conducted a systematic review to identify barriers in using this approach to patient care. CONCLUSION: While necessary, the management of obesity through telemedicine was met with patient-specific and healthcare-specific barriers. Increased awareness of these barriers may allow physicians to better understand patient interactions via virtual medical visits.
