Background: The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has raised serious concerns for pregnant women with preeclampsia. Self-care applications can be a useful solution to control and manage preeclampsia during coronavirus outbreaks. Objectives: The aim of this study is to design and development of a mobile-based application for self-care of pregnant women with preeclampsia during coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted in two stages. First, the needs assessment was performed according to the opinions of 20 obstetricians and pregnant women. The results of this step were analyzed by descriptive statistics and SPSS software version 23. Then, based on these results, a prototype of a mobile-based application was designed and developed. Results: According to obstetricians and pregnant women, out of 45 information needs, 30 data elements were introduced in the essential needs assessment stage. Features of the designed application were divided into four sections: profile of a pregnant woman with preeclampsia, disease information, disease management and control, and application capabilities. Conclusion: The designed application can provide various services for pregnant women with preeclampsia, such as diagnosing coronavirus, introducing specialized coronavirus treatment centers, and how to manage anxiety and stress against preeclampsia and coronavirus. The app also provides various capabilities to encourage pregnant women to perform self-care and self-management processes during coronavirus outbreaks and to control and manage preeclampsia.
