# Médicos del Mundo - Socio Sanitary Support App (IRIS)

Socio-sanitary support app

- **Client website**: [medicosdelmundo.org](https://www.medicosdelmundo.org/)

To better deliver socio-sanitary and informative information to sex workers, we created for Médicos del Mundo a mobile application that could reach a population that, while at risk, does not always have access to the resources available for them.

## The challenge

- Content that could be modified in real time by MdM staff
- A chat and a forum for social workers to efficiently engage with the beneficiaries through their devices
- Visibilize health and support resources sex workers have in their areas

## What we did

- Mobile application and web interface for MdM social workers to manage the app content and moderate the forum and chat with the beneficiaries
- Display of the closest health services using geolocation functionalities
- Direct access to contact and calls with MdM staff
