Implementation and evaluation of an online tool to support the screening and triage of people with manifestations of psychological deterioration in the context of a pandemic

In the context of a pandemic, one of the main challenges is the difficulty of meeting the needs of the population while taking into account the shortage of resources. Thus, it is imperative to innovate and create strategies that are both dynamic and interactive, in an effort to better identify those individuals most at risk and to prioritize needs, given limited resources. The aim of this project is to create a tool to identify the intensity of manifestations of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress in people to guide them towards the right health management strategies, in accordance with their level of risk. In addition, this project can be used as screening and triage system for health services in order to improve the effectiveness of their responses according the level of psychological distress of their populations.
