    AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a reorganization of our health care system leading to an unhoped-for boom in telemedicine, particularly in Geneva. The deployment of HUG@home at the Geneva University Hospitals and of docteur@home in the doctors' offices has allowed health professionals to come together around a single solution thus ensuring continuity of care for patients with chronic diseases but also the triage and follow-up of patients with COVID-19 in compliance with security and confidentiality rules. The ease of use of remote consultation tools is essential for the sustainable anchoring of telemedicine in practice. The supervision of practices, training and the financial valorization of telemedicine are also necessary for the development of quality care.
