PROTOTYPE OF A HEALTH APPLICATION (E-HEALTH) FOR FOOD SURVEILLANCE MONITORING

Abstract

Introduction: The literature highlights that mobile applications in collective food services increase the efficiency of monitoring and accuracy in choices, contributing to health and food security. Objective: To build a prototype of health technology for mobile devices focused on monitoring food surveillance in restaurants to help identify health risks and apply preventive and corrective measures. Methods: The model followed was ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). In the analysis, the needs for the implementation of risk correction strategies were identified; in design, interface, layout and functionalities were developed; In the development, technological resources for mobile devices were used. The implementation and evaluation will be carried out later, after approval by the ethics committee. Results: Safe Kitchen was developed as an intuitive software, aimed at management and surveillance in the collective food sector. Created for mobile devices, it has 14 screens, providing resources such as agenda, supplier management, regulatory documents, visit reports, deadline notifications, meeting the needs of nutritionists and managers, with planned validation for adjustments and compliance with regulations. Discussion: The Safe Kitchen application uses technology for supervision and administration in kitchens in the field of collective food, facilitating the identification of non-conformities. Future usability tests will seek improvements, and the patent grant will bolster its innovation in the industry. Final Considerations: Safe Kitchen is an instrument that enhances the monitoring of compliance with technical standards to ensure safety in collective feeding based on resources that seek to streamline monitoring processes, prioritizing food safety.
