Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with a high incidence of new cases in society. Mobile health applications emerged to monitor patients' health, assist in treatment, and prevent diseases. It is important to highlight that the low cost also enhances the population's adherence to the technological resource. Objective: To build a prototype of an application associated with mobile health technology for the assessment of cardiovascular health. Methods: This is an analysis of mobile applications in cardiovascular health. The analysis was conducted through the use of the applications, and based on this, we built a prototype application associated with technology in cardiovascular health, which includes personal data, age, sex, blood pressure (BP) measured daily, exercises, and practical and effective content. Results: A completely free and accessible prototype, consisting of seven screens where the patient initially provides his/her personal data, then his/her monitoring data and consequently options for physical activities that can be performed based on the information provided daily according to his/her fitness. Conclusion: The prototype of applications for cardiac rehabilitation is encouraging for both patients and the team of physiotherapists. The model aimed to create an interactive design that would make the experience simpler for health professionals.
