In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused chãos around the world, causing governments to seek solutions to end this problem. The high number of new cases of the disease, deaths and recovered daily led to the creation of platforms such as websites and applications to inform and guide the population, making information systems important in this fight. In this article, 6 of these platforms were selected, in order to highlight their use in the pandemic, initially identifying their main characteristics, followed by the creation of comparative tables that pointed out relevant information such as the focus of each platform, the form of access, as well as problems encountered, these and other points were developed following criteria, which led to the choice of each analyzed platform. With this, it was observed that knowledge about the use of health information systems is important, however the lack of initial information about the disease, as well as political and social differences made it difficult to collect data for the creation of platforms, pointing out that many Countries need to rethink their ways of analyzing and acting in the face of problems such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
