Description
Summary:A total of 11 % of children under the age of five years (toddlers) in Tangerang City experienced stunting. Stunting reflects chronic malnutrition during the most critical period of growth and development in early life, the first 1000 days of life. Monitoring the nutritional status is able to prevent stunting especially through Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS) at an integrated service post (posyandu). Most of the data in KMS is recorded manually, so the risk of data loss or damage is very high. Therefore, mobile application that can monitor the nutritional status automatically is needed to develop. The nutrition monitoring application “Nutrimo” which monitors children’s nutritional status was developed based on Android with anthropometric method and the Waterfall system development method. This application was completed with track record feature and suggestions that parents should take about the nutritional recommendations based on their respective nutritional status. The evaluation results showed that Nutrimo application was easy to use, informative and help to prevent stunting.
