Abstract
BACKGROUND: The current nutritional situation in Indonesia is still problematic with being underweight, stunting, and wasting, so children's growth and development must continuously be monitored, especially during the Golden Age. Monitoring the growth and development using the BigMom application is expected to help make it easier for mothers to monitor the growth and development of their children. This application can also be the right technology for millennial mothers, most of who currently use smartphones because they are efficient and can be used anywhere and anytime.
AIM: This study aims to create the BigMom application, which is an application to monitor the nutritional status of toddlers' growth and development based on Android smartphones.
METHOD: This research method uses Research and Development (R&D) and accuracy tests on the system. The study subjects used 96 respondents of mothers who had toddlers children at the Pudak Payung Health Center, Central Java, Indonesia.
RESULT: The trial of the application system using the accuracy test showed an accuracy of 96.8%, as shown from the results of the comparison of manual monitoring with the KMS graph in the KIA book, and the application 93 data had been declared appropriate from 96 data that had been tested.
CONCLUSION: The toddler growth and development monitoring application for ages 1-24 months using the android-based BigMom application has proven to be suitable for mothers with toddler children to monitor the growth and development of their children.
