Goal: The main objective is to adapt and validate a mental health service that allows screening, initial management, and timely referral of workers with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The proposal proposes the delivery of the service through a digital platform that allows for periodic evaluations, appointment management, and events recorded in an electronic medical record. This platform will have personalized care modules that will allow monitoring and timely referrals to other actors in the health system. The results of the proposal will allow the scalability of this service at a national and regional level, and will also provide the necessary information for other institutions to implement this service.
