Objective: The MoveSUS application was developed to create, implement, and evaluate a tool designed to assist Physical Education professionals in managing and monitoring patients undergoing physical rehabilitation in Federal University Hospitals managed by Brazilian Company of Hospital Services (Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares – EBSERH), addressing the specific demands of the Health sector. Methods: The research involved 14 Physical Education professionals working in these departments. Data were collected using the Portuguese version of the Mobile App Usability Questionnaire, which assesses three categories: ease of use, interface and satisfaction, and utility. Participants rated each of these categories on a scale from 1 to 7. Results: Our data indicated that the application received high scores in all evaluated categories. Ease of use had an average score of 5.89 ± 0.34, showing that professionals found the application intuitive and easy to navigate. Interface and satisfaction scored an average of 6.07 ± 0.29, revealing high satisfaction with the design and functionality. The utility category received the highest score, with an average of 6.35 ± 0.16, highlighting that MoveSUS is highly useful in supporting the professionals’ daily activities. Conclusion: the MoveSUS application has significant potential for clinical use in rehabilitation sectors, being both effective and easy to use. It is recommended to expand the use of the application throughout the EBSERH network, ensuring its effectiveness on a larger scale.
