Abstract
Heart disease can lead to physical disability and mortality, ranking second among the top 10 causes of death according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare. This study aims to examine the impact of the interactive assessment application on patients' public health knowledge. In this study, a single-group pretest and posttest experimental design was adopted. Thirty-six hospitalized patients diagnosed with heart failure participated in the pretest and posttest assessments. The findings demonstrate that the developed application led to an increase in the number of recorded physiological measurements, effectively enabling patients to manage their blood pressure. The heart failure self-management application was observed to improve patients' understanding and awareness of heart failure disease, improving their self-management skills.
