DEFINE YOUR PROBLEM STATEMENT

Child growth monitoring Malnutrition is an important problem globally as well as in India. It has

been one factor directly or indirectly contributing 55% mortality of children under-five years of

age. There is an urgent need of technological interventions to come up with effective solutions to

monitor the childs growth in the age group of 6-36 months by non-invasive or minimally

invasive methods to be used by nurses, health volunteers, ASHA workers etc.

Problem statement: Provide a Smart solution to monitor growth of children in order to check if

the child is malnourished (and level of malnourishment) or not.

SOLUTION-

India is one of the countries where there are lots of cases of malnutrition. There is no

such tool for monitoring the growth of malnutrition among the children between ages of 6-36

months. Malnutrition Monitoring Program Portal (MMPP) acts as a tool which can monitor

the childs growth and can detect the possibilities of malnutrition with it. We have proposed an

effective solution to provide a regular reminder to under nutritional childrens via Popup

message, IVRS call reminder, and online web login portal.

Due to Illiteracy and Undereducated, most of the peoples are unaware of problems related

to malnutrition in new born babies. MMPP will act as an awareness tool and can spread

messages, health tips to pregnant women and her childrens to make both of them healthy. This

approach will help the parents to monitor their childrens growth and feed necessary medicine to

them on time as prescribed by Doctor. When a patient who is under nutrition visited to a

doctor for treatment. Doctor suggested the check up and different tests to be carried and

found that the

patient is nutritional. Related prescription was given to the patient accordingly. This prescription

was stored to database by ASHA & other volunteer with details of the patients, medicine

prescribed, no. of doses, timing of dose etc. the database software will provide the information or

popup message on mobile phone or caretaker can directly access through online portal.

The regular attention towards the disease will increase by effective use of MMPP &

ASHA, resulting in decreased % rate of Malnutrition and make child healthy. The specific

schedule of diet as well as medicines has to be fallowed. In case of childrens below age of 5

years, their parents will be their caretaker. To fallow the medicine schedule, MMPP will act as a

reminder.

This project can be used for all such critical diseases where special care needs to be taken

by the patient or his/her caretaker. It is often very difficult for the doctors to keep a record of

their patient. MMPP will maintain a database of patients health with the help of ASHA

volunteers. This report can be accessed by Doctor whenever required, by using login ID and

Password. This information will be very beneficial for the Doctor to do further treatment.

PROPER CARE AND MMPP ENSURES GOOD HEALTH FOR MOTHER AND CHILD

The partial hardware circuit was designed, assembled and tested as a part of MMPP last month. This circuit is use to generate a reminder call to a patient if the medicine counter is equal to zero 0 and if the patient already taken his/her medicine, then save the updated data in database and start next medicine counter (if any).
