Prototype Design of Smart MOM Application to Sickly Toddler Screening

Abstract

One of the efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality in infants and toddlers is to use the MTBS approach. The approach is carried out in an integrated manner that focuses on the overall health of children. To reduce mortality, disease, disability, increase the growth and development of children under the age of five. MTBS is an integrated approach in the management of sick infants and toddlers who come for treatment at outpatient facilities in basic health services. MTBS includes preventive and curative elements carried out by families and communities as well as health facilities. The overall use of the MTBS chart can speed up case findings so that it is appropriate in handling sick toddlers and can reduce under-five mortality. However, the implementation of MTBS at the Public health centre is still not optimal. Health workers do not fully implement the MTBS chart during service. MTBS is still difficult to implement manually. Health workers need a system that can speed up the detection of sick toddlers. This study will create an android and web-based application that can detect sick toddlers, provide action and treatment, as well as community-based consultations. Researchers created the SmartMOM application for screening sick toddlers. The system is designed to help health workers take action as early as possible so that patients get help quickly. The research will carry out the process of designing a prototype design for the Android and web-based SmartMOM application. The application is adapted to the MTBS chart and user needs.
