Method: a systematic review was carried out in different online engines such as PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. Results: were selected 8 randomized clinical trials after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria that sought to demonstrate the benefits of using new techniques such as telemedicine in people with obesity to provide a better quality of life. Conclusion: in obese patients who used telemedicine as part of the treatment, a greater weight reduction was observed compared to patients who did not use it.
