Abstract: This systematic review identifies occupational diseases that are related to teleworking, a work phenomenon that has grown significantly, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. It establishes the context of teleworking and its impact on workers' health, highlighting both its benefits and risks. The aim of the study was to identify and analyse the pathologies associated with teleworking, as well as the psychosocial and ergonomic factors that influence occupational health. The findings show an increase in musculoskeletal disorders, mental health problems, visual disturbances and increased cardiovascular risks, attributable to inadequate working conditions and work overload. In conclusion, the importance of implementing prevention and health promotion strategies in teleworking environments is underlined, suggesting the need for organisational policies that favour the comprehensive well-being of employees, especially in vulnerable populations such as women.
