They highlight the importance of clear databases, intuitive interfaces, alerts for signs of complications, and adequate training, optimizing the monitoring and management of postsurgical care.Conclusions: the application must have a user-centered design, easy to use, with the option to record medical and personal data and the intervention carried out on the patient, so that all staff can know the same information and no errors are made
