Objectives
Based on innovative health interventions, it is expected to reinforce the care of patients with high cardiovascular risk at the first level of care by including interventions based on Information and Communication Technology through the design and implementation of a mobile application for calculating the cardiovascular risk by health agents and the sending of educational text messages that promote healthy lifestyles and reminders of medical care. It is expected to leave installed capacity and infrastructure that can then be used in the rest of the public primary care network.
