On the other hand, in Peru there is also prevalence of diabetes, especially in older adults, due to this problem, in this research work a mobile application is designed to motivate and improve the state of patience with diabetes, this seeks to help these people to improve their quality of life. The Agile Scrum methodology was used for the design because of its constant meetings that better involve the team in the project, in addition to having tools that better organize the information. For the development of the design a survey was conducted to 25 university medical students, thanks to their answers we obtained the requirements of the application, which were taken as a guide to develop its functionality, finally the work includes the design of an interactive mobile application, intuitive and easy to use, in addition to having tools capable of motivating and informing the patient about diabetes.
