Objective:
to develop and evaluate an application for syphilis control in pregnant women.
Method:
methodological research developed between March and November of 2016 in two phases: bibliographic survey of the years 2012 to 2016 in the databases PubMed, CAPES and Scopus and application development. Eight users participated in the usability test and five doctors and five nurses working in prenatal care participated in the evaluation.
Results:
the application contains informative video, information about the disease, map of health clinics, agenda function and anonymous notification. The evaluation of the objective, function and relevance was considered adequate with value higher than 0.80 in all items of the Content Validity Index.
Final Considerations:
the application makes easier the routine of health services in the context of health promotion, in the convocation and treatment of pregnant women and their partners.
