“…The use of ultrasound ensures reliable monitoring and stratification of the risk of developing serious illnesses. These conclusions were confirmed by Kimura et al, in a study including 201 patients, in which the presence of a B line, which is associated with a higher risk of hospitalization of high-risk patients, was detected in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection [ 33 ]. Moreover, these researchers confirmed that patients were able to perform a simple lung USG test themselves.…”

“…The use of stethoscopes as a tool for remote control of the patient’s health was established in Asia [ 29 ], Europe [ 28 , 30 ], and North America [ 31 ]. The articles on the use of ultrasonography in patient follow-up were exclusively from North America [ 32 , 33 ]. The creation of algorithms useful in medicine based on artificial intelligence has been described in Asia [ 21 ], Europe [ 19 , 20 ], North America [ 18 , 22 ], and Australia [ 17 ].…”

Background and Objectives: In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine, so far underestimated, has gained in value. Currently, telemedicine is not only a telephone or chat consultation, but also the possibility of the remote recording of signals (such as ECG, saturation, and heart rate) or even remote auscultation of the lungs. The objective of this review article is to present a potential role for, and disseminate knowledge of, telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: In order to analyze the research material in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of the ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and PubMed databases was conducted. Out of the total number of 363 papers identified, 22 original articles were subjected to analysis. Results: This article presents the possibilities of remote patient registration, which contributes to an improvement in remote diagnostics and diagnoses. Conclusions: Telemedicine is, although not always and not by everyone, an accepted form of providing medical services. It cannot replace direct patient–doctor contact, but it can undoubtedly contribute to accelerating diagnoses and improving their quality at a distance.
