This study was conducted through the steps: investigating the problem and the needs, analyzing the cause of the problem, and designing, creating, and testing a prototype. The study showed that the participants faced problems in monitoring and educating Covid-19 patients during self-quarantine that included three themes of experiences and their needs, namely: 1) the methods and application in monitoring Covid-19 patients during self-quarantine, 2) health education methods for Covid-19 patients, and 3) suggestions for developing an application for Covid-19 patients.
