Telemedicine became a reality on the rise during the pandemic. The demand for remote service has grown significantly in this period and has become essential to ensure social distancing. The objective of the research is to demonstrate the importance of Telemedicine as an innovative tool in the fight against the pandemic caused by the new Coronavirus in the Aparecida de Goiânia city.
