Background/Objectives: Access to specialized care for patients with cognitive impairment in remote areas is often limited. Despite the increasing adoption of telemedicine, standardized guidelines have not yet been specified. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive protocol for the specialized neurological, neuropsychological, and neuropsychiatric assessment of patients with cognitive disorders in remote areas through telemedicine. Methods: We analyzed data from (i) a comprehensive literature review of the existing recommendations, reliability studies, and telemedicine models for cognitive disorders, (ii) insights from a three-year experience of a specialized telemedicine outpatient clinic for cognitive movement disorders in Greece, and (iii) suggestions coming from dementia specialists experienced in telemedicine (neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists) who took part in three focus groups. A critical synthesis of the findings was performed in the end. Results: The final protocol included: technical and organizational requirements (e.g., a high-resolution screen and a camera with zoom, room dimensions adequate for gait assessment, a noise-canceling microphone); medical history; neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neuropsychological assessment adapted to videoconferencing; ethical–legal aspects (e.g., data security, privacy, informed consent); clinician–patient interaction (e.g., empathy, eye contact); diagnostic work-up; linkage to other services (e.g., tele-psychoeducation, caregiver support); and instructions for treatment and follow-up. Conclusions: This protocol is expected to serve as an example of good clinical practice and a source for official telemedicine guidelines for cognitive disorders. Ultimate outcomes include the potential enhanced access to specialized care, minimized financial and logistical costs, and the provision of a standardized, effective model for the remote diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. This model could be applied not only in Greece, but also in other countries with similar healthcare systems and populations living in remote, difficult-to-access areas.
