This study aimed to understand older patients’ perceptions of this experience through their narratives. Methods: A qualitative study with Thematic Oral History and thematic analysis. We conducted open-ended interviews in which older patients narrated their perceptions of this experience. Results: Twelve patients were interviewed from December/2021 to January/2022, and 2 themes emerged: older patients’ experience of teleconsultation and possibilities and challenges of telemedicine. Some patients did not identify the call as a teleconsultation. Regarding possibilities, patients reported satisfaction and convenience in specific circumstances. As for challenges, patients reported concerns about the effectiveness of communication and need for physical examination. Conclusion: Teleconsultation is well accepted, as long as situations that require face-to-face interactions are considered. Considering person-centered medicine, listening to the narratives of older people contributes to a better structuring of telemedicine services in geriatrics. 2023 artículo científico 2447-2115 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=739777812043 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777812043/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777812043/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777812043/739777812043.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7397/739777812043/movil https://doi.org/10.53886/gga.e0230030 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7397 Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging (Brasil) Vol.17
