This paper aims to present the recently developed Brazilian system for monitoring workers and general population exposed to asbestos (Datamianto), and to discuss the main challenges and opportunities for workers\u2019 health surveillance. Methods: a descriptive study of the Datamianto development process, examining all the stages of system planning, development, improvement, validation, availability, and training of health services for its use, in addition to presenting the main challenges and opportunities for its implementation. Results: The system was developed by a group of software developers, workers\u2019 health specialists, and practitioners, and it was recently incorporated by the Ministry of Health to be used for workers\u2019 health surveillance. It can facilitate the monitoring of exposed individuals, epidemiological data analysis, promote cooperation between health services, and ensure periodical medical screening guaranteed to workers by labor legislation. Moreover, the system has a Business Intelligence (BI) platform to analyze epidemiologic data and produce near real-time reports. Conclusions: Datamianto can support and qualify the healthcare and surveillance of asbestos-exposed workers and ARD, promoting a better quality of life for workers and improving companies\u2019 compliance with legislation. Even so, the system\u2019s significance, applicability, and longevity will depend on the efforts aimed at its implementation and improvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20054295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,28]],"date-time":"2023-02-28T03:00:38Z","timestamp":1677553238000},"page":"4295","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The Brazilian System for Monitoring Workers and General Population Exposed to Asbestos: Development, Challenges, and Opportunities for Workers\u2019 Health Surveillance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7006-6177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael Junqueira","family":"Buralli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Vigil\u00e2ncia em Sa\u00fade Ambiental e Sa\u00fade do Trabalhador, Minist\u00e9rio da Sa\u00fade, Brasil (CGSAT\/DSAST\/SVS\/MS), SRTV 702, Via W5 Norte, Bras\u00edlia 70723-040, DF, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Regina Dal Castel","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ger\u00eancia em Sa\u00fade do Trabalhador, Diretoria de Vigil\u00e2ncia Sanit\u00e1ria do Estado de Santa Catarina (GESAT\/DIVS\/SUV\/SES), Av.
