Nutrition system – a mobile application for pregnant woman

Abstract

Malnutrition has a devastating impact on the health and wellbeing of individuals and on the economic development of countries. In Bangladesh there is scarcity of proper nutrition information system that can provide appropriate nutrition messages based on different criteria of pregnant woman and infant while a primary or tertiary health workers could not provide the necessary service to them. This application can be easily used by any health workers in Bangladesh. Our health workers often forget to deliver the proper nutrition information to mothers. Such tool can be very useful to provide a proper way to deliver the specific nutrition messages to mothers based on their Ante-natal care (ANC), Post-natal care (PNC) state and also based on their infant age. The model of this application can provide the proper facilities of delivering nutrition messages to mothers by health workers. This system may need to analyse periodically in order to meet the changes of user requirement and apply appropriately.
