Abstract: This study aimed to develop a home-based exercise application to improve the exercising performance in patients with peripheral artery disease. This application is based on a theoretical framework and is paired with a wearable device, Fitbit Charge4. The application comprised five main categories with 30 screens: login, a record of exercise, goal achievement, information, and motivation. Using the application to nursing practice can manage and encourage patients to exercise without limitations of time and place.
