INTRODUCTION:
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that usually affects the older age group. Neurologists across the globe are limited especially in rural areas with no access to health facilities. Telemedicine has however, been an effective tool in ensuring that health care is accessible to all, irrespective of geographical location and socioeconomic status. Telemedicine has shown to improve not just the health care system but also patients’ well-being and satisfaction. Although, telemedicine has its shortcomings that limits its widespread use such as medical license laws in some part of the world, poor network connectivity in rural areas, poor electrical supply and computer illiteracy in aged people, there are strategies that can be put in place to elimate the aforementioned.

METHODS:
This is short review was conducted by examining recent literature on the use of telemedicine in the management of Parkinson’s disease. A narrative approach was used. The following databases were searched; λ Scopus λ Pubmed λ Google scholar λ Cochrane Library The search covered studies from 2015 to 2023 to include a decade of recent evidences on telemedicine and Parkinson’s disease. Inclusion and Exclusion criteria Inclusion: λ Articles published in English λ Peer-reviewed original studies, systemic reviews, and meta analyses. λ Studies analysing telemedicine interventions for the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s disease. Exclusion λ Studies unrelated to telemedicine λ Studies not related to parkinson’s disease

RESULTS:
The future of telemedicine in the management of PD is extremely encouraging but more research needs to be done in order to understand the challenges and limitations and further improve areas that needs adjustments.

CONCLUSIONS:
Telemedicine is still an effective tool in the management of Parkinson’s Disease and other movement disorders especially in places lacking neurologists and places with little man power.
