ABSTRACT Objective: to develop and validate an educational game capable of supporting health education actions for patients undergoing liver transplantation. Method: this is a study of a technological product, based on the User-Centered Design framework, carried out in a reference hospital for liver transplantation. Participants were patients undergoing liver transplantation, nurses and information technology professionals. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire, using Brazilian standards for usability assessment. Data analysis occurred through content analysis, based on the calculation model for the System Usability Scale. Results: seventeen patients participated, including seven nurses and four information technology professionals. The game is made up of five paths with the main care to be carried out at home. Each path presents steps to be followed with its rules. As for validation, the overall mean was 1.38. Usability assessment by patients had a mean of 80 points, while by professionals it was above 75%. Conclusion: it is considered that the aforementioned tool is capable of being used in practice by users. Furthermore, this was adjusted to meet the needs of patients undergoing liver transplantation to support and manage home care.
