Abstract:

The role of technological advances in strengthening health is undeniable. Regarding digital technologies we can mention the growing use of information systems and data analysis for health in the preparedness, surveillance and response to epidemiological outbreaks, a theme addressed in this article in the context of the pandemic caused by the Sars-CoV-2 in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. It was assumed that it\'s possible to enhance the management of the response to covid-19 through digital health. Thus, a technological ecosystem has been developed by the team which integrates different information systems to meet the needs provided by international standards against the pandemic. In this article is described, in addition to the ecosystem and its structure, a set of analyzes on its application by institutional actors. The ecosystem was the main tool used for decision-making by the institutions of the state in response to covid-19, which constitutes a model for digital health intervention in the National Health System of Brazil. Therefore, the experience in Rio Grande do Norte brings elements that, together, contribute to studies on resilience of health systems and analysis of public health policies in emergency situations.
