CapeleSBD

Application created to be used in the skin cancer campaign, promoted by SBD - Brazilian Society of Dermatology.
It will be used by clinicians at health care facilities to fill in / collect campaign data.

Since 2014, the Brazilian Society of Dermatology promotes December Orange. The action is part of the National Campaign for Prevention of Skin Cancer. Since then, always in the last month of the year, different actions are carried out in partnership with public and private institutions to inform the population about the main forms of prevention and to seek a specialized doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Skin cancer is the most common type of disease in Brazil, with about 180,000 new cases per year. When discovered early, it has a 90% chance of cure.

Every year the theme of the campaign is renewed to attract more people in this big awareness action. In 2019, the main signs of skin cancer will be focused on early diagnosis and treatment, and everyone is invited to join us in this awareness movement by posting on the social networks a photo wearing an orange garment with the hashtag #dezembrolaranja and #signaldefelement and thus contribute to spreading photoprotection attitudes
