The application, developed by the adapted Scrum method, informs the possible manifestations and behaviors of the person at risk, through information provided by the user, through a platform in the chat format, mediated by a virtual agent. The application developed for the use of family members or people close to those with depression and risk of self-extermination can provide access to education for the population and families regarding the manifestations suggestive of the unfavorable evolution of depression. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a detailed study with the evaluation of experts to analyze its quality and usability.
