Palliative care is a useful solution in the future to improve the quality of life for dementia sufferers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This systematic review aims to find out how the implementation of home telemedicine can become the main choice for elderly people with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A database search was carried out by the PRISMA protocol focusing on Scopus, Proquest, Sage, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL identified based on MeSH-adjusted keywords, and A total of 2440 article journals were identified. Then deletion so that it remains 1086 article journals were reviewed. Then excluded (238) articles from journals based on 5 years, experimental test method with Randomized Controlled Trial design (RCT) and Experiments in language English, full text to be reviewed for feasibility so that 10 articles were obtained for review. From all articles, media innovation is very useful in implementing palliative care because of the various impacts of the global pandemic through the experiences of people with dementia and their care partners. The role of home-based palliative care using home telemedicine can potentially reduce the long-term impact of palliative care.
