Newborns need special handling different from babies at the age of 1 month also above. Diagnosis also treatment is quickly required by the midwife in an emergency. Without there are still many midwives who have not been able to handle it properly, causing the baby's condition to become worse.

The system can display information about the type of disease, symptoms, solutions, and the percentage of similarity from the results of consulting the symptoms input. The results of testing the system with the consultation of the symptoms included got the highest percentage of similarity results 53.33%.
