Abstract

Monitoring child growth and development is essential for improving early childhood health outcomes and preventing stunting; however, monitoring systems in Indonesia remain fragmented and largely focused on anthropometric data. This study synthesizes evidence on digital applications developed between 2020 and 2025 to support child growth and developmental monitoring in Indonesia. Following PRISMA guidelines, 18 studies were identified from national and international databases and appraised using the JBI checklist. The review examined application characteristics, monitoring functions, design quality, user experience, and their contributions to parenting and developmental stimulation. Findings show that most applications prioritize physical growth tracking, while only a minority integrate assessments of cognitive, motor, and socio-emotional development. Thematic synthesis identifies three major gaps: limited incorporation of holistic developmental frameworks, suboptimal interface and interaction quality, and insufficient evidence-based educational content to support sustained caregiver engagement. Although most systems demonstrate high functional performance and methodological quality, interoperability with regional health information networks remains weak, and long-term user engagement is inconsistently documented. Contextual factors influencing these patterns include variability in digital literacy, infrastructural disparities across regions, and the technical challenges of digitizing developmental screening tools. The increasing use of Agile and RAD development approaches indicates potential to improve adaptability, usability, and iterative system refinement. This review underscores the need for integrated, family-centered digital platforms supported by national policy, capacity-building initiatives, and standardized developmental assessment protocols. The synthesized insights provide a foundation for guiding future system development, with interoperability, user-centered design, and equitable access as core principles for strengthening Indonesia’s digital child-health monitoring ecosystem.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for six months is a critical public health intervention to reduce infant mortality in Indonesia. However, its implementation continues to face significant barriers, including low maternal health literacy, limited psychosocial support, and challenges in lactation management. Although digital health technologies have expanded rapidly, existing lactation applications in Indonesia remain fragmented and predominantly focus on one-way educational functions, without integrating maternal health data or clinical infant monitoring. This study aims to systematically analyze the characteristics and development trends of lactation mobile applications in Indonesia and to identify feature gaps, which will serve as the foundation for designing an integrated digital model. The main contribution of this study is the development of a conceptual framework for an integrated lactation technology model that combines breastfeeding education, family involvement, maternal factor documentation, and breast milk adequacy monitoring using infant physiological indicators, all within a single digital ecosystem. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed using Publish or Perish software on the Google Scholar database for studies published between 2017 and February 2026 using structured keywords. Five eligible studies were analyzed thematically and appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist. The review found that all identified applications were Android-based (100%, n=5). Four applications (80%) focused on maternal education and demonstrated improvements in knowledge and reduced anxiety; one (20%) emphasized family support through co-parenting; and one (20%) addressed lactation management via milk stock calculation features. No application integrates maternal history, early detection of lactation problems, and infant-based physiological monitoring within a unified platform. In conclusion, lactation application development in Indonesia remains fragmented and lacks a system-integrated approach. The proposed SiCubit conceptual model provides a decision-support framework for integrated breastfeeding monitoring and digital lactation support.

Abstract

Background: Pediatric eczema (atopic dermatitis; AD) and food allergies (FA) are rising globally and share immune pathways that extend harm beyond the skin to growth, cognition, and social development—yet no synthesis has examined all three developmental domains exclusively using primary empirical evidence. This systematic review aimed to determine whether children with AD and/or FA exhibit: (1) impaired physical growth; (2) adverse cognitive and neurodevelopmental outcomes; and (3) elevated rates of behavioral and social difficulties compared to unaffected peers. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and grey literature repositories identified 210 records after deduplication. Following title/abstract screening and full-text review of 98 articles, 35 primary empirical studies—spanning diverse designs—met inclusion criteria. Systematic and narrative reviews were excluded. Results: Twenty-two of 35 studies reported impaired physical growth, including lower height, weight, BMI, and head circumference z-scores, with 18 reaching statistical significance. Deficits were most pronounced in children with severe or persistent disease and multiple allergen restrictions. Cognitive and neurodevelopmental impacts were identified in 13 studies, with effects varying by developmental domain and disease severity. Behavioral and social difficulties appeared in 10 studies, predominantly linked to severe disease and sleep disruption. Conclusion: Eczema and food allergies impair child development through interconnected immune, nutritional, and psychosocial pathways. Multidisciplinary care and early intervention are essential; clinicians should routinely refer affected children to pediatric dietitians. Future research should prioritize large longitudinal studies incorporating standardized neurodevelopmental assessments and biomarkers.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mini Neuroscience Education as an innovative approach to improving mothers' understanding of child growth and development in community-based maternal health programs. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted in Kabupaten Banjar, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, involving 40 mothers with children aged 12–36 months selected through purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria comprised mothers who were willing to participate, had children within the specified age range, and completed all study procedures. Mothers who did not complete the intervention sessions or submitted incomplete questionnaires were excluded. Participants received Mini Neuroscience Education through videos, visual illustrations, and interactive explanations. The posttest was administered immediately after the intervention on the same day. Data were collected using a validated 15-item questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The mean score increased from 8.75 ± 2.10 at pretest to 12.88 ± 1.49 at posttest, with a mean difference of 4.13 ± 1.539. A statistically significant improvement was observed (Z = -5.481; p < 0.001), with 39 participants showing increased scores and one participant showing no change. The effect size (r = 0.88) indicated a very large intervention effect.  Conclusion: Mini Neuroscience Education demonstrated considerable potential as an innovative, practical, and community-friendly approach to enhancing maternal understanding of child growth and development.
