Parkinson's disease is a relatively common condition that requires complex drug treatment to control. This can lead to decreased adherence to treatment due to adverse effects. In view of this, a mobile application "RevParkinson" was devised, which aims to increase adherence to treatment and improve patients' quality of life. This article describes the process of developing the app, using the Canvas Business Model and Value Proposition, in an exploratory and descriptive study. The literature review was discussed by a team and supported the information documented using the Canvas. The application underwent technical testing and validation with users. The validation results demonstrated the app's potential as an instrument capable of increasing adherence to drug therapy in people living with Parkinson's disease, as it meets the proposed requirements and could have a significant impact on disease management and patients' quality of life, providing a new paradigm for digital healthcare.
