It is well known that Brazilian health as a whole has been experiencing major structural and logistical problems. Based on this principle, the use of new technologies together with the advent of the popularization of smartphones, can become of great importance in helping to face the most common diseases throughout the national territory. As a way of meeting this demand, this article proposes an application developed with the aim of assisting community health agents during the mapping of cases of diseases transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, and also indicate possible sources of transmission in neighborhoods in the city of Araguatins-TO. The research also aims to create a database for greater control of cases related to the mosquito that causes dengue and diseases in this region, serving as a bridge in the communication of community health agents and the population, proving to be relevant for both the academic and scientific communities. Thus, the proposal of the application to control outbreaks of the Aedes aegypti mosquito updates the practices for registering cases of dengue and other diseases related to it. It is notable that the use of applications nowadays has become natural for most, so it is important to integrate smartphones with public services, in order to improve the services provided by community health agents in Araguatins and later in other regions of Bico do Papagaio. One of the major bottlenecks encountered in the use of applications in various public areas is the difficulty of employees in handling computational tools, thus, the application was developed to facilitate the access of health professionals.
