Abstract
Objective: To understand the global assessment of the elderly, carried out remotely through online platforms, during the period of social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Experience report: This is a descriptive study about an experience lived by medical students in partnership with daily care centers aimed at the elderly. Through the application of online forms, the organic, social and psychological health of patients aged over 60 years was evaluated. Once the senescence process is accompanied by a decline in functional capacity, the elderly population becomes more exposed to conditions of vulnerability. Thus, aiming to promote the continuity of integrated care, it was necessary to adapt the care to the remote form in order not to expose this group to risks in the face of the pandemic. Final considerations: The experience aimed to maintain the quality of life and health care of the elderly through Telemedicine, a promising tool in the social sphere and in the doctor-patient relationship, especially in current times regarding the pandemic caused by the disease COVID-19.
