Abstract:

This study aimed to understand the use of technosociality in the daily lives of users of the Family Health Strategy in times of the COVID-19 pandemic for health care and promotion. This is a holistic-qualitative multiple case study, based on the Comprehensive Sociology of Everyday Life, in which 61 usersthree Brazilian municipalities participated, two in Minas Gerais and one in Santa Catarina. The sources of evidence were the open individual interview and field notes. For data analysis, thematic content analysis was used. The use of virtual social networks and health technologies for care, monitoring, prevention of risks and injuries, health promotion and access to information is present in the daily lives of users. The importance of support and solidarity networks is highlighted. The infodemic and misinformation about COVID-19 denote a context of uncertainty about the veracity of information and concern about mental health. It is imperative to pay close attention to the use of technologies and social networks for health promotion, enabling strategies to enhance their use and minimize the indicated damages.
