Abstract: This study aims to describe the development of an app for mobile devices to assist voice professionals in the management of vocal health. The research was held in two phases, from November 2014 to December 2015: 1) literature review and app stores search and 2) laboratory design, development and usability test. The multimedia feature was chosen for the app design and development, since it favours a motivating and dynamic environment. Teachers, when participating in the usability test, handled the tool for a few hours and issued their opinions. Data were analysed based on content analysis in the thematic mode. The results show the feasibility of the tool development to support and assist professionals in the care of their voice and open new perspectives to show that, in health promotion, technology can create new alternatives for health education and care, empowering the users.
