    Abstract

    This paper presents the design of a user-centered digital platform for therapeutic education and respiratory rehabilitation in patients with post-COVID-19 conditions. The aim of the study is to develop a Telerehabilitation platform that provides remote respiratory rehabilitation services through a user-centered design approach. The research team followed the iPlus methodology, which emphasizes active participation from both designers and users in each phase of the design process. The platform includes therapeutic education exercises tailored to users’ age and offers remote respiratory self-rehabilitation sessions. The study reviews related works on post-COVID-19 conditions, respiratory rehabilitation, and telerehabilitation, highlighting the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in improving functional capacity and reducing symptoms. The methodology employed in the study involved requirement analysis, architectural and module design, navigation model creation, and user interface design. The resulting platform is user-friendly, functional, and efficient, providing a valuable tool for the recovery and rehabilitation of post-COVID-19 patients.
