ABSTRACT
Mobile or cellular technology have changed the way we live, work and communicate, influencing all spheres of daily life. The health field is increasingly influenced in all aspects by technology whose development has resulted, among others, in information and knowledge systems for health management. The objective of this work is to present the Covid-19-InfoCu app, accessible from https://www.apklis.cu/application/cu.sld.COVID_19_InfoCU.
This app was commissioned by the Cuban Ministry of Health to quickly and truthfully inform the population about the pandemic that has caused so many infections and deaths around the world, COVID-19. The app has been downloaded by a large number of users and its usage has spread nationwide. The Apklis site reports, so far, 183,107 downloads. Downloads from the ETECSA or Infomed FTP sites have not been counted. Regarding the user experience, the app has received positive evaluations, which can be verified in apklis.
