Introduction: currently, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiovascular devices play a crucial role in heart health care. They are designed to monitor, diagnose, and treat various heart conditions. However, further studies are still needed.
Objective: to evaluate the use of a mobile application prototype for cardiovascular risk prevention in older adults.
Method: a sample of 46 patients was selected from the MINSA CAPSI (National Health Service of El Coco) and the Association of Retirees and Pensioners (Asociación de Jubilados y Pensionados), both from La Chorrera. After a detailed explanation, they were surveyed about the study prototype. The variables analyzed were: sex, cardiovascular disease status, other diseases status, prototype use, opinions about the prototype, important aspects of the prototype, and comfort.
Results: males were predominant (76%), 61.1% of the sample suffered from cardiovascular disease, with diabetes mellitus (39.13%) and high blood pressure (34.78%). Respondents stated that the device was comfortable, most aspects were important, and they considered it excellent in their opinion, although some features could be improved.
Conclusions: the acceptance and interest expressed by users suggest that, with proper implementation, this technology could play an important role in reducing risk factors in the older population.
