Child growth mentor—a proposed model for effective use of mobile application for better growth of child

Abstract

Good health of a child is a major concern for parents. Malnutrition during first 5 years of age and irregular vaccination may cause critical health-related issues. It is very difficult for a mother to remember dates of immunization. There are some existing systems which provide alerts for the next date of vaccination, but fail to manage schedule of the same. Apart from vaccination and malnutrition, proper weight and height ratio is also equally important. It will be very beneficial for a mother if these kinds of features are bundled in a single system which will be connected to the government’s central database of birth. To propose this type of model for better growth of child, a survey has been conducted. On the basis of the survey, further analysis has been done to find the feasibility.
