Abstract

Monitoring the nutritional status of children aged 24-60 months is a crucial aspect of ensuring their growth and development. The commonly used manual methods often have limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency. This study aims to design and develop a prototype of an automated height and weight measurement system based on Z-Score to accurately and efficiently determine the nutritional status of children. The system is developed using the ESP8266 microcontroller as the control center, integrating an RFID module for child identification, an ultrasonic sensor for height measurement, and a load cell for weight measurement. The measurement data is then processed to generate a Z-Score value, which is displayed on an LCD screen. Based on the test results, the system demonstrates a measurement accuracy of 99.60% for children's height and weight. Additionally, the nutritional status assessment aligns with WHO standards. This system is expected to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of nutritional monitoring for toddlers.
