The pandemic caused by COVID-19 resumed the discussions around telemedicine, whose previously unregulated modalities started to be provisionally authorized to face the crisis. This article aims to analyze this scenario under constitutional prerogatives, focusing on the right to health and the State's role in human and economic development. Deductive research methodology was adopted, based on the general idea circulating in constitutional norms inclined to social and economic rights. It is concluded, considering the pandemic crisis of COVID-19 as a rupturing moment, that the definitive regulation of telemedicine in Brazil can provide a favorable environment for the implementation of social and economic values, giving greater effectiveness to the fundamental guardianships of the human being, thus assuming the role of trigger for expanding human and economic development.
