In this context, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence coupled with Telemedicine is a new opportunity to find solution in healthcare organization and to develop advanced geriatric medical practice in medical desert territory. The goal of this study is to quantify and characterize the acceptability of Artificial Intelligence and Telemedicine in Nursing Home located in medical desert for patients, nurses, and medical doctor. All the patients were examined by a nurse. The symptoms filled by the nurse in the Artificial Intelligence/Telemedicine device are sent and then analyzed by a distant medical doctor to purpose a care. The nurse also solicited the attending medical doctor as usual care.
