Over the years, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which originated in Africa, has expanded its distribution in Brazil. The diseases it transmits - dengue, Zika virus and chikungunya - can manifest themselves as epidemics or endemics. As a result of the increase in mosquito breeding sites and consequently in cases of these diseases, tools to help reduce the epidemic cycle are valuable. Therefore, technologies that localise and indicate notifications of the disease in real time for agents who manage inspection activities in municipalities are useful. The aim of this project is to design a system that helps visualise these notifications through real-time mapping that can be edited by the administrator based on the notifications. The project will be modelled using digrams and mockups for future implementation. Through this, it is hoped that these agents will be able to check locations with reports of the disease for new outbreaks in the location itself and in nearby locations and thus be able to provide faster and more effective solutions.
