Abstract

There is evidence that digital technology can positively contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as total cholesterol, physical activity, healthy diet, and medication adherence. For this, mHealth is an ally that can provide self-management of CVD, such as medical recommendations, medical consultations, reminders, and notifications for disease monitoring. The main objective of this master's thesis project is to develop a digital health support application for the postoperative period of cardiac surgery and to evaluate its usability criteria based on the user's experience. It will be technological, innovative research of a quantitative nature. The design of the mobile application prototype will follow the principles of The Design Science Research Methodology. It will also consider the Persuasive Systems Design, motivating users by leveraging social support and encouraging people to continue using it. We will apply a usability test with physicians, nurses, programmers, and patients in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery in a hospital in southern Brazil.
