Occupational Therapy, either face-to-face or at a distance through information and communication technologies, can offer services to all those who are in isolation or a location without free sources. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify interventional strategies that can be carried out telematically with people suffering from Alzheimer's and their families from Occupational Therapy.

Results: Four areas of telematics practice of occupational therapy for people suffering from Alzheimer and their families are highlighted: Intervention in occupational routines, advice on technologies and support products, advice on stimulation exercises, and advice on motor exercises.
