The purpose of this study is to examine the average, knowledge, practice recommendations, and patients' perceptions of the severity of their diseases before and after receiving the My Color Health Innovation. This quasi-experimental research used a one-group pretest-posttest design that aimed to examine the effects of the innovation "My color health" on knowledge, behavior, and the perception of disease severity in patients with diabetes and hypertension. This study used the concept of the 7-Color Ball. The sample consisted of 20 elderly people and was selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of the innovation "My color health" knowledge test behavior, and perception of the severity of diabetes and hypertension questionnaires. The questionnaire in Google Forms was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. The results revealed that after using "My color health", the differences in the mean scores of knowledge, guidelines for practice, and perceived severity of diabetes and hypertension were statistically significant (P<  0.05).
