Results: The application is a tool that can be used, adherence to the patient safety checklist needs to be encouraged and the immediate presentation of the patient's risk can enhance the culture of safe surgery. Conclusion: The safe surgery application optimizes the use of the safe surgery checklist, alerts professionals about risks to patient safety, quantifies and presents in real time the risk to patient safety during the surgical procedure.
