For the analysis of results, a search equation was previously developed and quantity, quality and structure indicators were analyzed. Results There has been a significant increase in telemedicine research in recent years. The institutions with the highest production are Medical Center and University of Washington, and the main countries where production is concentrated in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Conclusions The academic production is concentrated in high income countries, dividing itself into several sub-areas such as medicine, psychology and engineering.
