Objective: to develop and analyze the content validity evidence of a thematic digital repository focused on promoting the health of children and adolescents. Methods: applied research on technology development and validation, according to the Definition, Architecture, Design, and Implementation method.

Appearance was evaluated by 10 Information Technology specialists on objectives and design, and content by 20 nurses on objectives, structure/presentation, and relevance. Results: the repository, hosted on Digital Ocean, includes 14 sections containing materials such as videos, brochures, games, booklets, comic books, and infographics. The validity indices were 0.97 (appearance) and 1 (content). The experts’ evaluations indicated adequacy regarding objectives, design, structure, presentation, and relevance. Conclusion: the repository was constructed and validated satisfactorily. The systematized methodological steps ensured rigor in development and positive results in the validity assessments of appearance and content. Contributions to practice: technology serves as an innovative strategy aligned with digital health for promoting the health of children and adolescents. It is available for free and open access on various devices, including laptops, smartphones, computers, and tablets.
