However a mobile application has limited compatibility to other platforms and device. So a mobile application should be rebuilt as particular restrictions of platforms or mobile phones when the mobile application is reused for other platforms. However a mobile application has limited compatibility to other platforms and device. So a mobile application should be rebuilt as particular restrictions of platforms or mobile phones when the mobile application is reused for other platforms. This paper ascertains problems when a mobile application is transplanted for reusing into other platforms, and suggests to evaluation systems of portability's quality that we can check the portability convenience of the existing mobile application. As we confirm its grade that shows convenience of suggested portability, we are able to check problems issued when a mobile application implants to other platforms. Then it is expected that we can check capability of rebuilding and endeavor rate. Also if the method will be considered at the first step of designing a mobile application, it will be the best way to develop the better mobile application that we can easily implant many other mobile platforms.

The purpose of this research was to develop a self-care application for kidney transplantation patients based on a review of previous literatures and the results of a survey that evaluated the needs of patients. The research proceeded in ADDIE order of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. In the analysis phase, interviews were conducted on over 5 kidney transplantation patients. Moreover, related applications and literatures were reviewed to develop application contents. App-based postoperative self-care program composed of the following: Health teaching, measurement, checklist, views, alarms, and App information. For the evaluation phase, a survey was conducted on 9 experts and 5 patients, using a smartphone application. SPSS/WIN 21.0 program was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the validity and suitability of data obtained from experts and users. Content was validated using CVI. Expert assessment of application for the self-care after kidney transplant showed 3.5 out of 4. Patient assessment showed 3.7 out of 4. We determined that a self-care application for patients that underwent kidney transplant is helpful. Moreover, a future study is necessary to test and verify the effects of using this application on self-care and self-care knowledge.
