Protótipo de aplicativo móvel como ferramenta de vigilância em saúde para leishmaniose visceral em humanos, animais domésticos e silvestres

Abstract

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected zoonosis with high records of confirmed cases and deaths in Brazil, which reveals that current strategies have not been successful. This disease presents an important epidemiological process of human-animal-environment interaction, so acting with single health interventions is essential and health innovations, especially mobile Health (mHealth) technology, show promise. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop a mobile application (app) prototype that can assist in the monitoring, control and prevention of VL in humans, domestic and wild animals. To achieve this, it was necessary to divide the study into two types of users: external, which includes the general population, and internal, which includes human and animal health surveillance agents and the administrator centralized in the figure of health management. The results present the interfaces of: loading, welcome, login, registration, Homes, health education, visit scheduling, visit request tracking, notifications sent of human and animal cases, history of visit requests, notifications received of cases humans and animals and the administration of visits and health surveillance agents. Therefore, this work meets the current demand for mobile technologies in health, presenting the first prototype of a mobile App developed from the perspective of single health, which can be programmed and incorporated by public health services in the combat, prevention and surveillance of VL.
