Summary/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.
