System visibility and status	The system must continually inform the user about what it is doing and how it is interpreting the user’s input.
System compatibility with the real world	Terminology in user interfaces should be based on the language of the user and not on system-oriented terms.
User control and freedom	To increase the user’s feeling of having controlled the dialog, the system should offer the user an easy way out of situations when it is necessary to undo or redo an action.
Consistency and standards	The same information should be presented in the same place on all screens and dialog boxes and should be formatted in the same way to facilitate recognition.
Error prevention	Systems can be designed to avoid putting the user in error situations.
Recognition rather than memorization	The system should display dialogue elements to users and allow them to choose between the items generated or edit them, minimizing the use of users’ memory.
Flexibility and efficiency of use	The same information should be presented in the same place on all screens and dialog boxes and should be formatted in the same way to facilitate recognition.
Aesthetics and minimalist design	Systems can be designed to avoid putting the user in error situations.
Helps users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors	The system should display dialogue elements to users and allow them to choose between the items generated or edit them, minimizing the use of users’ memory.
Help and documentation	The same information should be presented in the same place on all screens and dialog boxes and should be formatted in the same way to facilitate recognition.

Heuristic	Applicability in the prototype
1. System visibility and status	Buttons for logging in, creating a new account and commands on the registration screen are easy for the user to access and visually perceive;
2. System compatibility with the real world	Simple, objective and jargon-free language was used; familiar icons to represent an action were also used, such as the audio icon, the printer and the search magnifying glass;
3. User control and freedom	To help users recognize mistakes, an on-screen alert was used, for example, in the field for filling in the registration and password when there was an error;
4. Consistency and standards	A palette of shades of blue was used, creating a clean, elegant style; the image chosen for the login and registration screen shows the target audience, referring to humanization;
5. Error prevention	Confirmation boxes were used to delete any form;
6. Recognition rather than memorization	The health professional has basic, well-defined instructions on the interface, such as the button to register, making it clear where they need to click to carry out the action without the need for memorization; the layout of the booklet is similar to that of the physical booklet to facilitate the transition of information from one to the other;
7. Flexibility and efficiency of use	If the user has difficulty interacting with the system’s fields, there are audio options where they can hear the text on the screen. There is also a microphone icon - if the user has an audio input device at their disposal, they can use it to enter their e-mail address and password to “log in” to the system;
8. Aesthetics and minimalist design	The digital passbook only displays information that is relevant to the user, there is nothing to distract them and make them lose focus on their objective, which is to register the information requested. The interface was built with a clear, minimalist layout;
9. Helps users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors	Form warnings have been inserted in fields that are not filled in correctly;
10. Help and documentation	The system presents basic instructions that avoid user doubts.
