Technology that is developing over time makes it possible for several health services including recording the results of posyandu activities which are made in the form of an Android-based application. The aim of this study was to analyze differences in knowledge before and after being given the MAGENTA application training intervention. This research was conducted in October 2023 at the Kenten Palembang Community Health Center involving 34 posyandu cadres. Data analysis was carried out on the results of the trial evaluation which began with a normality test, and continued with a difference test on the results of the pre-test and post-test assessments.
