Abstract:
Information and communication technologies enhance the digital transformation of society
by accelerating and impacting changes in people’s lives. This paper presents a technological solution,
within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals that intends to implement initiatives to “Eradicate
Poverty” and “Healthy Living”, namely an application that provides suggestions to optimize savings.
The application has underlying concerns in the scope of Psychological Health, as an integral part
of the Health of the human being, allowing to perceive the user’s state of mind. It is also considered relevant
that people have good psychological health so that they can manage their resources in a rational
and intelligent way. The agile methodology was behind the development of the project as a process that
combines the iterative model and the incremental model. The Healthy Economy application thus contributes
to raising awareness of the rational management of financial resources, promoting the Sustainable
Development Goals.
Keywords:
Agile software development, Information systems, Information and communication technologies,
Sustainable development goals.
