E-Nutrition: Development of a Mobile and Web Health and Nutrition Management System for the City Nutrition of Tayabas

Abstract

The growing demand for effective health and nutrition services in Tayabas City exposed challenges in managing and monitoring nutrition programs, particularly in organizing data, ensuring accessibility, and generating reports. Traditional approaches, which relied heavily on manual documentation, often led to inefficiencies, errors, and delays in service delivery. To address these issues, this study introduced E-Nutrition, a mobile and web-based health and nutrition management system designed to enhance the operations of the City Nutrition Office. The main goal of E-Nutrition was to simplify the administration of nutrition programs by providing a centralized digital platform for real-time data entry, tracking, and reporting. Built using agile development methodologies, the system incorporated essential features such as automated data processing, graphical reporting tools, and intuitive interfaces tailored for administrators and beneficiaries. Preliminary evaluations revealed notable improvements in data accuracy, faster report generation, and higher satisfaction among users. The integration of mobile and web platforms ensured the system was accessible and easy to use for various stakeholders, improving the delivery of nutrition services. These findings positioned E-Nutrition as an innovative solution to existing challenges in nutrition management and suggested its potential for broader adoption in similar settings.
