SCREENING SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING CHILDREN'S NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND EATING PATTERNS

Abstract

This invention concerns a screening system for assessing children's nutritional status and dietary patterns, specifically relating to software that integrates digital technology for recording and analyzing children's nutritional status and dietary patterns. The main objective of this invention is to overcome previously existing problems, specifically the system for assessing children's nutritional status and dietary patterns, where this invention consists of assessing nutritional status with children's anthropometric data and assessing dietary patterns based on daily eating patterns. Such a system is characterized by a software-based assessment monitoring system consisting of a main menu [admin module (105)], which includes a means of assessing nutritional status and a means of assessing dietary patterns, where the admin module (105) records the assessment of nutritional status and dietary patterns of the user module which will be stored in the nutritional status database (103).Another objective of this invention is to increase parental awareness of the importance of monitoring children's nutrition and eating patterns, facilitate health workers in collecting nutritional data efficiently and accurately digitally, and support government programs in monitoring child nutrition in integrated health posts (posyandu), schools, and primary health facilities. Other objectives and benefits of this invention, as well as a more complete understanding, will be explained by referring to the accompanying drawings.
