SOS Syphilis: smartphone application for the mapping of syphilis attention networks.

Abstract Sifilis is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI) in the world, with millions infected every year, despite efficient prevention and treatment options. In 2016, in Brazil, syphilis became a healthcare problem. The National Program for the Improvement of Access and Quality of Primary Care (PMAQ-AB) aims to amplify access and improve basic attention by providing access to public data. This study seeks to develop a mobile application that helps Syphilis Attention Networks to map data about the infection and therefore counter its proliferation. In this work, it was developed a mobile platform, with Flutter framework, that will extract data from the PMAQAB’s platform regarding syphilis specialized health units. After that, Google tools are used to provide directions. According to that, it is possible to assume that Brazil has failed in the fight against Syphilis and needs new projects to improve its efficiency against the bacteria dissemination. As a result, this application can assist the mapping of syphilis attention networks and also become a module for a case management system, being able to map a variety of diseases other than Syphilis.
