Abstract

Background In Brazil, young people aged 15–24yo represent 27.4% of all new HIV infections. Brazilian Ministry of Health of Brazil has launched the HackHealth Project to develop innovative e-devices capable of increasing knowledge about sexual health and combination prevention among young people. Hackhealth is an innovative, dynamic and open knowledge-based project. Our aim is to describe the results.

Methods Young key population (YKP) were recruited through a nationwide questionnaire and randomly assigned into 5 groups, being 5 YKP, 2 programmers and 1 graphic designer. The project lasted 36 hours and each group elected a leader.

Results 5 innovative e-devices were developed - a game about sex education, quiz with gifs, sexual health app, crowdsourcing platform, and a chatbot on combination prevention for the official website of the Ministry of Health of Brazil. The project focused on engaging young people in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), while expanding their knowledge on combined prevention and sexual health.

Conclusion 5 innovative e-devices were developed - a game about sex education, quiz with gifs, sexual health app, crowdsourcing platform, and a chatbot on combination prevention for the official website of the Ministry of Health of Brazil. The project focused on engaging young people in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), while expanding their knowledge on combined prevention and sexual health.
