RESUMO

Hygienic and sanitary measures and social distancing policies implemented during the new coronavirus disease - COVID-19 - pandemic have altered the care and follow-up provided by healthcare professionals for patients with chronic diseases, including patients with epilepsy (PWEs). Telemedicine has become a solution for the healthcare of PWEs in many developed countries. In this short communication, we trace a particular perspective for the application of telemedicine for PWEs undergoing ketogenic diet (KD) treatment, considering the social and economic difficulties faced by healthcare teams in resource-poor countries, such as Brazil. During the pandemic, financial strain was the main impediment to following KD. The pandemic increased socioeconomic insecurity and access to KD-related products, as well as increasing anxiety in 71% of PWE, impacting their KD treatment follow-up. The challenges of telemedicine in Brazil include not only social and economic issues but also access to food, healthcare services, and education for the population, in addition to digital inclusion.
