Content Validity Index with an established value of 0.78 was used. Results: Regarding structure and presentation, objectives and relevance, all items were considered validated by the experts. The global Content Validity Index was 0.97. Conclusion: The electronic tool was validated for content and appearance, and its contribution to nurses and doctors in primary care was the production of an easy-to-use tool for effective clinical monitoring of infants with congenital syphilis.
