Abstract

Indonesia’s child growth monitoring system, essential for national stunting prevention, still relies on paper-based tools such as the Child Health Card (KMS), which often face challenges of low parental engagement, fragmented data management, and limited health literacy. Existing digital applications primarily function as data logbooks, lacking interactive audiovisual content that can effectively support parents with diverse literacy levels and learning needs. This gap highlights the urgency for innovative health communication strategies that bridge conventional and digital media to enhance participatory learning and improve community-based child monitoring practices. This study developed and evaluated Si BINTANG (Interactive Barcode-Based Growth and Development Information System). This hybrid audiovisual web platform connects a printed child monitoring book with digital content through QR code technology. The application was designed using a user-centered and health communication approach to enhance parental understanding, motivation, and engagement in monitoring their child's growth and development. A preliminary usability evaluation involving experts and mothers of children under five indicated high system quality, usability, and user acceptance, demonstrating positive responses across functionality, accessibility, and user satisfaction. These results suggest that hybrid digital–print integration can enhance health education by making it more interactive, inclusive, and accessible for families, particularly in low-literacy or resource-limited settings. While the findings show encouraging potential, this study acknowledges several limitations, including the small and localized sample size. Future research will focus on large-scale implementation and impact assessment on parental knowledge, behavioral change, and child health outcomes. The Si BINTANG platform represents a promising direction for strengthening family-based stunting prevention through hybrid digital innovation, contributing to Indonesia’s ongoing digital health transformation and community empowerment agenda.

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.
