Aplikasi Kesehatan Gizi Berbasis Android Pada Dinas Kesehatan Kota Gorontalo

Introduction

Aplikasi kesehatan gizi berbasis android pada dinas kesehatan kota gorontalo. Aplikasi kesehatan gizi Android Dinas Kesehatan Gorontalo bantu masyarakat pahami kebutuhan gizi tiap fase pertumbuhan, hitung BB ideal, dan akses berita gizi terkini.

Abstract

Pada umumnya permasalahan yang terjadi pada kesehatan gizi pada masyarakat dikarenakan banyak orang tidak mengetahui di setiap tahapan pertumbuhan manusia dari bayi ke- balita ke- remaja ke- dewasa ke- lansia akan membutuhkan asupan gizi yang berbeda-beda, tidak mengetahu berat badan idealnya, tidak mengetahui sejauh mana perkembangan gizi, dan kurangnya informasi tentang kesehatan gizi. Untuk itu diperlukan suatu teknologi informasi yang berbasis mobile tentang kesehatan gizi guna membantu masyarakat dalam memberikan informasi secara efektif dan efesien. Tujuan dari penelitian ini menghasilkan aplikasi yang dapat menyajikan informasi karakteristik gizi dan kebutuhan gizi yang baik di setiap fase pertumbuhan manusia, juga menyediakan fitur penghitung berat badan ideal serta berita terkini seputar gizi. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan melakukan pengumpulan data baik data primer dan data sekundar. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa dengan adanya aplikasi ini masyarakat lebih mudah mendapatkan informasi terkait gizi dan tahapan pertumbuhan tanpa harus menunggu pelaksanaan sosialisasi ke balai desa yang tidak diadakan rutin. Dampak yang di rasakan oleh puskesmas sekitar yaitu peningkatan jumlah masyarakat yang telah memenuhi standar pemeriksaan gizi.

Review

This paper presents a timely and relevant initiative focused on developing an Android-based application for nutritional health, specifically tailored for the community under the jurisdiction of the Gorontalo City Health Office. The authors effectively identify a critical public health challenge: a widespread lack of knowledge regarding distinct nutritional needs across different human growth stages, ideal body weight, and general nutritional progress. This information deficit, often exacerbated by infrequent traditional outreach programs, underscores the necessity for innovative solutions. The research aims to bridge this gap by creating a mobile application designed to deliver comprehensive nutritional information, an ideal weight calculator, and current news related to nutrition. The proposed application is intended to serve as an accessible and efficient tool for the public, providing crucial insights into nutritional characteristics and requirements pertinent to each phase of human development. The methodology employed is described as descriptive, utilizing both primary and secondary data collection, which forms the basis for understanding the needs and designing the solution. The anticipated outcomes are particularly encouraging; the application is expected to significantly ease public access to reliable nutritional information, reducing dependency on sporadic in-person socialization efforts. Furthermore, the abstract points to a direct positive impact on local health centers, reporting an increase in the number of community members who meet nutritional examination standards, suggesting improved public health engagement and awareness. While the abstract outlines a highly commendable and practical solution to a pressing public health issue, a more detailed review of the full paper would benefit from elaborations on certain aspects. The methodological section, for instance, could be strengthened by specifying the software development lifecycle followed, the technical stack used, and the strategies for ensuring data accuracy and user experience. Moreover, while the stated results indicate positive shifts in information accessibility and engagement with health services, the absence of specific quantitative metrics on app usage, user satisfaction, or the precise extent of the increase in nutritional examination compliance presents an area for further empirical evidence. A comprehensive manuscript should ideally provide these details to fully substantiate the application's impact and inform future developments or broader implementations.
