Anxiety and depression are mental health issues that are common in mothers during pregnancy and after childbirth. The prevalence of anxiety and depression among pregnant women is 12.6%, and among postpartum women, it is 10.1%. However, mental health screening is still not an integral part of comprehensive antenatal or postnatal care. This research aims to develop a website-based application for screening postpartum maternal depression levels using the EPDS and PHQ-9 scales. The method used involves application development using the PHP programming language and implementing the EPDS and PHQ-9 scales as assessment instruments. The research findings are a screening application that can help postpartum mothers self-assess their level of depression. The website has been successfully implemented and can be accessed online via the link https://postnatalcare.my.id/. The application is expected to serve as a screening tool for determining the level of postpartum depression in mothers and to assist midwives in monitoring patients' mental health conditions, enabling them to provide appropriate care.
