Abstract : The field of telemedicine is developing rapidly with teleneurology being one of the branch. The use of teleneurology has helped patients gain easier access to medical care. Various studies have studied the effect of teleneurology on medical care. Thus, this systematic review is created to evaluate the outcome of teleneurology usage. Literature search was performed via PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, and EBSCOhost databases. Studies selected were studies that evaluated the outcome of teleneurology from inception to June 11, 2022. Five studies were selected from literature search. Three of the studies found that teleneurology helps patient gain easier access and reduction of cost usage. The studies also found that teleneurology satisfies patients’ and caregivers’ needs. Teleneurology helps with easier access to healthcare, reduction of cost in healthcare, and fulfills the needs of patients and caregivers.
