DIGITAL INSTRUMENT FOR INFANT AND TODDLER MORTALITY REVIEW USING USER-CENTERED DESIGN METHOD

Abstract

The Infant Mortality Rate and Toddler Mortality Rate are still relatively high in Indonesia. Data from the South Sumatra Health Office shows a relatively high number of infant and toddler mortality cases in Banyuasin and Musi Banyuasin Regency, with about 68 and 51 cases in 2017. Through the Program Kerja Sama (PKS) of the Family Health Directorate of the Health Ministry of the Republic of Indonesia and the Public Health Faculty of Sriwijaya University, it was found that the problems related to these were triggered by the absence of an instrument in digital form to conduct reviews about infant and toddler issues of mortality at Health Facilities, which were expected to assist in recording and reporting the review process runs more effectively and efficiently. This research uses the User-Centered Design (UCD) method because it optimizes the application prototype according to the needs and desires of the end-user, which in this case is the health worker in the Health Facilities in Banyuasin and Musi Banyuasin Regency. The UCD method phases include understanding the context of use, specifying the user requirements, designing the solutions, and evaluating against requirements. Based on the research that has been done, the results obtained that the average usability score is 94, which means that the prototype of this application has been made according to the needs and desires of the end-user, also the prototype of this application is feasible to be implemented.
