Abstract

Stunting is a problem that we all face towards the golden generation of 2045. Stunting is a serious condition in children which is characterized by the child’s height being below average or the child being very short and his body not growing and developing properly. The problem of stunting is an important issue in the world of child health which is still a great concern, especially for children in underdeveloped and developing countries. Stunting is characterized by a child’s height below average or the child is very short and his body does not grow and develop properly. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, one way to prevent stunting is to continue to monitor the growth and development of children, especially in terms of height and weight. The obstacle that occurs in measuring children’s weight using digital scales is that children, especially babies, often cry and keep moving so the scale becomes inaccurate. Based on these problems, the solution taken is to design a weighing device that can be used to weigh mothers and children simultaneously. Scales for mother and child together are needed to provide safety and comfort for children. Safety and comfort are basic priorities for designing weighing systems. The system is equipped with a mobile phone and PC interface. This tool makes it easier for mothers and nurses and can display the results of weight measurements properly so that they can be used to monitor children’s weight development. The results of the study of this system indicate that the product system is an appropriate scale, safe, comfortable and easy to use.
