Community-Based Nutrition Monitoring System

Abstract

A health monitoring and Information system with a reminder system is developed for the Field Health Units of the Department of Health to replace the paper-based manual system. COMMUNITY-BASED NUTRITION MONITORING SYSTEM includes functionalities that would make the consolidation and organization of reports faster and easier. The system would help in the process of transferring of nutrition reports, for food and micronutrient supplementation, from every Field Health Unit to the Department of Health. The computerized filing system allows easy updating and viewing of patient and treatment records. The transfer of patients, from one Field Health Unit to another, is also covered by the system. With this functionality, the treatment history of the patient can be easily retrieved. Security and accessibility, plays an important part in the system. With these in place, access by unauthorized personnel would be prevented. Moreover, the reminder system minimizes the missed consultations of patients.
