Abstract

Besides COVID-19 can severely affect the health of those infected, this pandemic is also causing several problems in society, such as economic and psychological issues. Thus, preventing new cases is important to minimized these problems. This work developing an app (SMStopCorona) that sending text messages (Short Message Service – SMS) in automated and tailored way, with guidance about prevention and general health tips, aiming to welcome the population about coping pandemic. A multidisciplinary team from Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul) and Hospital Escola/Universidade Federal de Pelotas (HE/UFPel) prepared the messagens to be sent and registered it in the app. About 500 people from the southern region of Brazil signed up to receive these messages, and then they were imported into the app. SMStopCorona then automatically sends a daily orientation to each person registered via SMS. Preliminary results indicated good acceptance in receiving these messages by registered people. Several people responded to the messages received, thanking for the care and guidance they had received via SMS text message.
