Abstract
The use of telemedicine systems is becoming increasingly common these days. Telemedicine systems exist for the purposes of education, improving the accuracy of medical diagnoses through the provision of a second opinion, and remote patient monitoring. Accordingly, the number of software solutions is increasing. Software Architecture is a subarea of Software Engineering whose goal is to study the system components, their external properties, and their relationships with other software. A good architecture can allow a system meets the mainly requirements of a project, such as performance, reliability, portability, easy maintenance, interoperability, etc. Aiming to find out what architectural styles that proposes a better performance in systems for telemedicine, a systematic mapping was done. With this mapping, it was possible to find taxonomies related to telemedicine systems, architectural styles commonly used in these systems and technologies relevant to the area.
