Abstract

In spite of all advances promoted by information technologies, there are still activities where this technology is not applied for reasons such as being carried out in non-profit organizations or because they have not adapted to this modernization. Until recently, the way to work with mobile devices was either by connecting through a web page with the device's browser, or by downloading an application from the corresponding platform. But lately, technologies are being developed that aim to break with this, as in the case of Progressive Web Applications (PWA). One of the advantages offered by PWA is to access the web page and install it as an application on the device. The purpose of this article is to design a progressive Web application for the support of Storytelling Therapy, one of the novel therapies applied in the field of mental health. In addition to providing a software application to enhance Storytelling Therapy workshops, it is also intended to analyze and verify the advantages of PWA in a real case.
