Utilizing Web-based Technology for Improved Malnutrition Management in Healthcare Settings

Abstract

Malnutrition is a major global health concern affecting millions, primarily in underdeveloped nations. Malnutrition management needs precise and prompt assessment and monitoring. However, existing manual systems for identifying and managing malnutrition cases frequently suffer from inefficiencies, data errors, and a lack of accessibility. This capstone project describes the creation of a web-based malnutrition management system to solve these issues. Healthcare personnel can use the system's user-friendly interface to record, identify, track, and monitor the prevalence of child malnutrition from 0-59 months old in different locations. The developed system is evaluated using the ISO/IEC 25010 out of 10 IT experts from the Municipal Health Office of Naval, Biliran in terms of its software quality characteristics outlined in the ISO/IEC 25010:2011 standards. As the result shown, the developed system indicates a very great extent of compliance with ISO 25010 Software Quality Standards, with an overall mean of 4.5 consolidates the assessment across all criteria. This web-based malnutrition management system has the potential to transform the way child malnutrition are managed, giving healthcare providers a strong tool for improving patient outcomes. Its scalability and adaptability make it suited for use in a variety of healthcare settings, including resource-limited areas as well as well-equipped clinics.
