Introduction: Peru is one of the countries with the highest mortality rate from COVID-19 in the world. There are several reasons explain this, among these are: the previous deficiencies in the health system, the lack of preparation for an emergency of such scale at the community level, the ignorance of the population who go unnecessarily to the health centers, overloading the system. Objectives: The study focused on developing and evaluating the feasibility of a mobile application for active surveillance and monitoring suspected cases of COVID-19 carried out by Community Health Workers (CHW) in the Nauta-Loreto region. Methods: An application was developed following a software development model called Model-V. The data recorded in the application derived from the CHW's home visits were used to quantify the feasibility of the application, The study lasted 2 months. Results: The technical feasibility showed that the use of the Commcare-HQ tool and the use of the Model-V sped up the development of the application. The operational feasibility of the average use of the application during the intervention week carried out by the ACS registered about 50.14 homes, detected approximately 5.14 suspected cases, and 35.79 people with risk factors per family. The ACS visits lasted an average of 11.38 minutes for each dwelling. Conclusions: It was possible to develop a mobile application for community surveillance during period of 2 months; The application was able to facilitate the ACS performance during the visits. In addition to promoting reports of suspicious cases to the rapid response team of the Nauta-Health-Center.
