Introduction: Uruguaiana, a transmission area for Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), is one of the five municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul with cases of Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (LVH). Objective: To introduce the development stages of PampaCare LVC as an application on the PampaCare platform, developed for monitoring and analyzing information on various diseases. Method: The application was designed to provide the migration process from a legacy system based on manual filling of forms to an automated tool. The development included the steps of gathering requirements, specifying use cases, defining the architecture, implementation, documentation and support. Flutter and Firebase technologies allowed for fast and efficient development while maintaining data quality and authentication security. 22 requirements were defined, translated into application functionalities. Results: The notification, geolocation of cases, data recording, report generation and epidemiological analysis stood out as functionalities. This information will help in the construction of alerts regarding the epidemiological situation of the neighborhoods, contributing to the environmental surveillance of territorial base in an assertive way. The Minimum Viable Product version was made available to the Environmental Health Surveillance Office in April 2023 and the final version will be released in August 2023. Conclusions: The application complied with 76% of the subcategories evaluated by the self-assessment technique, presenting satisfactory performance in terms of user experience and usability. After the updates, it is intended to reach 92% coverage of the subcategories that are part of the evaluation tool. Access to information from clinics and hospitals will enable greater robustness to the disease indicators, allowing the elaboration of public policies consistent with the reality in Uruguaiana.
