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.
