## Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a mobile application for the management of overactive bladder by means of urinary diaries. The application was designed to enhance usability and user satisfaction, with the Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate model serving as the overarching systematic framework.

The Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate model guided the development process, starting with analyzing patient and professional needs. User-centered mockups were designed, leading to a functional prototype. The app was developed, tested through assigned tasks, and evaluated for usability using scales, qualitative data, and feedback.

Most healthcare professionals and patients found the tasks "very easy" or "easy." Average completion times were 13 min for patients and 9 min for professionals. Participants gave positive feedback, describing the application as intuitive and easy to use. No critical errors were identified, and satisfaction levels were high.

The mobile app showed high usability and user satisfaction, demonstrating its potential to enhance overactive bladder management and improve patient care efficiency.
