Timbang App: An Operation Timbang Monitoring System

Abstract

Malnutrition is one of the leading causes of diseases and infections that result in infant deaths, especially during the first five years of life. To mitigate this issue, the Rural Health Unit (RHU) of San Miguel, Bulacan, conducts Operation Timbang Plus (OPT) to identify the status of each child and locate families with malnourished children. However, the data collection is extensive and has delayed publication of results. Therefore, this project was created to help the RHU with the OPT, thus providing an IT solution that calculates, manages, and generates reports of OPT data. The project was developed using V-Model, a type of Waterfall model. Moreover, the ISO 9126 Quality Model was used to determine if the system functions were created. Lastly, unit testing, compatibility testing, stress testing, system testing, and integration testing are conducted to ensure the quality of the IT solution. The tests show that the system is compatible with Android devices and browsers such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. The integration test shows that mobile and web applications worked as a unified system. Lastly, the survey results show that the system's functionality and accuracy are 100% acceptable for mobile and web applications. However, the usability of web and mobile applications varies. Offering 99.5% for mobile application and 99.34% for web application. These imply that web applications can effectively organize, store, and retrieve OPT data. The mobile application can effectively collect, calculate, and report data and provide SMS notifications to parents about nutrition programs.
