This study focuses on the development of a digital platform for the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), converting it into an interactive computational tool for assessing physical activity (PA). The digital version enhances the accessibility, and efficiency of PA assessments by enabling real-time data collection and potential synchronization with other health tools. Utilizing a cross-platform framework, the application ensures compatibility across various devices and offers a user-friendly interface. The computational model embedded in the platform automates PA calculations, including MET-minutes and energy expenditure, providing detailed and reliable insights into activity patterns. By transforming the IPAQ into a digital format, this study bridges the gap between traditional assessments and advanced technological solutions, improving physiotherapy practices and patient care. The tool demonstrates significant potential to optimize PA evaluation, offering healthcare professionals timely, accurate data to guide intervention strategies, with future research focusing on validating its reliability across diverse populations and clinical settings.
