In Brazil, the growing demand for social programs and the effects of the 2020 pandemic exacerbated social vulnerability, leading to long queues at Social Assistance Reference Centers (CRAS).

The municipal management of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, in partnership with the Municipal Secretariat for Assistance and Citizenship and the Executive Secretariat for Digital Government, developed a digital platform for prior scheduling of the Single Registry. This eliminated the need to wait in lines, allowing citizens to book their appointments remotely.

The platform, accessible through the address www.jaboatao.pe.gov.br/cadunico, offers service availability from the municipality's CadÚnico Headquarters, making the service more accessible and efficient for the most vulnerable citizens.

Since launching in September 2023, the platform has already made 31,499 appointments, representing a significant change in citizens' experience.

In addition to avoiding long waits in the sun and rain, the system provided greater efficiency and respect for the most vulnerable. This innovation not only improved access to municipal services, but also contributed to a better quality of life for citizens.

Organization: Sentran City: São José dos Campos - State: SP

Job Title: Digitization of Circulation Requests (AETC's) and Inspection of Truck Traffic in the City of Jacareí - SP

The installation of a toll plaza near the city of Jacareí, located in the State of São Paulo, with around 235 thousand inhabitants, triggered a significant increase in truck traffic in the urban center. Toll evasion resulted in intense congestion, causing an alarming increase from 6% to 18% in accidents involving trucks and damage to urban infrastructure.

To address this challenge, the city held public hearings and implemented a truck route, but the in-person authorization process required more than 2,000 visits in just one month, requiring considerable financial and human resources.

Sentran then developed an automated circulation authorization system through a website and an app, simplifying the process and reducing queues. Furthermore, it created an interface between radars, license plate capture points and the authorization platform to monitor compliance with authorizations, improving the effectiveness of urban traffic management.

The automation of the circulation authorization request process and the integration of municipal inspection equipment represent crucial innovations. Sentran's solution simplified the process for users and increased the inspection capacity of Jacareí city hall.

The implementation of Sentran's solution resulted in a significant reduction in the daily volume of trucks circulating in the city, with a drop of 62%. This contributed to improving traffic flow, reducing pavement maintenance costs, reducing noise and pollution in the urban center and eliminating fatal accidents involving trucks.

The successful implementation of this solution demonstrated the benefits of technology in optimizing urban traffic management and promoting safer and more efficient circulation.

Job Title: SUS as a Tool for a Smart City

The introduction of telemedicine rooms in basic health units in Brazil represents a milestone in the search for innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the Unified Health System (SUS).

This initiative aims to overcome structural barriers and significantly improve the provision of health services to the population, contributing to transforming the city into an intelligent environment. The implementation of these rooms allowed expanding access to specialized health services, reducing waiting lists and diagnosis and treatment times, especially in less favored regions. Furthermore, it highlights the transformative potential of technology in the healthcare sector and highlights the importance of innovation to develop creative and effective solutions.

In one year of implementation, 18,754 appointments were made, serving mainly female patients between 40 and 59 years old.

With an NPS of 92 and a resolution of 93.66%, the solution demonstrates high efficiency and user satisfaction. Furthermore, by circumventing geographic and logistical limitations, telemedicine has emerged as a viable solution to ensure equitable distribution of healthcare resources. This approach not only simplified the management of local demands, but also strengthened the adaptability of the health system to the changing needs of the population.

The benefits of telemedicine go beyond immediate results, positively impacting communities and the local economy. By reducing waiting times and expanding access to healthcare, a significant decrease in absenteeism rates from work and school is expected in the medium and long term. This will contribute to a healthier and more productive population, as well as relieving pressure on transport systems, providing substantial savings for families.
