  • After the recent return to face-to-face classes in schools in Mexico, after they were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that it was necessary to control students' health better. For this reason, we proposed the design of the Digital Disease Tracker, a system that works on mobile devices applying the User-Centered Design approach. Our system aims to allow a more complete, clear, and updated record of the student community. With this registry, educational institutions can better know the status of their students and know the level of risk in that institution to take measures to reduce it. With the evaluation carried out, we observed that the application is useful, and it is also an easy-to-use tool, which allows most users to use it without problems. It is essential to use these types of registries to help control the spread of various diseases in Mexico.
