Abstract

This study aims to discuss the use of teleservice in occupational therapeutic interventions with the elderly, in time of distance/social isolation in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology is qualitative with an experience reporting approach. Teleservice is an ally to the professional Occupational Therapist who seeks innovative interventions to follow up care with the elderly population.
