Current efforts to control the mosquito are more effective when combined with the collaboration of population. Efforts to limit the number of cases have not been sufficiently effective and community engagement is essential to control the number of mosquitoes in the environment. This chapter describes the process of development of mobile apps designed to promote health and combat <em>Aedes</em>. The strategy was to engage the community and students from different levels in a city in of Brazil to devise, in a participatory design approach, apps to “fight” <em>Aedes</em>.</p>
