In a significant move toward modernizing community health services, Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM), recognized as a leading Digital Business Campus, has launched a transformative technological initiative aimed at improving child nutrition monitoring. On Thursday, July 16, 2026, a specialized team of lecturers and students from UNM conducted a comprehensive socialization and training session for the "Satu Klik Gizi" (One-Click Nutrition) application. The event took place at Posyandu Gurame, located in RW 011, Pamulang Timur Village, Pamulang District, South Tangerang City. This initiative was funded and supported by the Community Service Grant Program from the Directorate of Research, Technology, and Community Service (DPPM) of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek) for the 2026 Fiscal Year.
The program represents a strategic effort to bridge the gap between advanced information technology and grassroots healthcare. By empowering Family Welfare Movement (PKK) members and Posyandu (Integrated Healthcare Center) cadres with digital tools, the project aims to enhance the early detection of "wasting"—a critical condition of acute malnutrition where a child is too thin for their height. The implementation of the Satu Klik Gizi application is a testament to UNM’s commitment to the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which mandates that academic institutions contribute directly to social welfare through education, research, and community service.
Contextual Background: The Nutritional Challenge in Urban Indonesia
The launch of the Satu Klik Gizi application comes at a pivotal time for Indonesia’s public health sector. Despite significant economic growth, the country continues to grapple with the "double burden of malnutrition," where undernutrition and obesity coexist. Wasting, in particular, remains a pressing concern because it increases a child’s risk of death and makes them more susceptible to infectious diseases. According to national health surveys from the early 2020s, the prevalence of wasting among toddlers has remained a challenge that requires localized, precise data to manage effectively.
In South Tangerang, a rapidly urbanizing satellite city of Jakarta, the challenges of public health are unique. While infrastructure is generally better than in rural areas, the density of the population and the varying levels of economic status among residents mean that some pockets of the community remain vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies. Pamulang Timur, as a densely populated residential area, serves as an ideal pilot site for digital health interventions. Traditional methods of recording toddler growth—often involving manual paper logs and physical growth charts (KMS)—are prone to human error, data loss, and delays in reporting. The transition to a digital system like Satu Klik Gizi is designed to eliminate these inefficiencies.
Technical Synergy: Interdisciplinary Collaboration at UNM
The development of the Satu Klik Gizi application is the result of a robust collaboration between two prominent departments within Universitas Nusa Mandiri: the Information Systems Study Program and the Informatics Study Program. This interdisciplinary approach ensured that the final product was not only technologically sound but also aligned with the administrative needs of healthcare management.
Dr. Sukmawati Anggraeni Putri, a senior lecturer from the Information Systems Study Program, served as the Chairperson of the Community Service Program. Under her leadership, the team focused on creating a system that prioritizes data integrity and user experience. "Innovation in the digital age must be inclusive. It is not enough to create a sophisticated algorithm; the technology must be accessible to the people on the front lines—the Posyandu cadres," Dr. Sukmawati stated during the event.
The technical engineering of the application was supported by Duwi Cahya Putri Buani and Syaifur Rahmatulloh, both esteemed lecturers from the Informatics Study Program. Their expertise in software engineering and information technology was crucial in developing a lightweight, responsive interface that can operate on various mobile devices. Furthermore, the project involved active participation from students, namely Dimas Ikhsan Ali and Rifqy Tsanaya from the Information Systems program. These students played a vital role in field education, providing one-on-one technical assistance to the cadres, documenting the process, and ensuring that the training modules were easy to follow.
Chronology of the Training and Implementation
The training session on July 16 was structured to be highly interactive, moving beyond theoretical explanations to hands-on practical application. The day began with a seminar on the clinical importance of early detection for wasting and stunting. Experts emphasized that the first 1,000 days of a child’s life are critical, and any nutritional lapse during this period can have permanent effects on cognitive and physical development.
Following the educational briefing, the cadres were introduced to the Satu Klik Gizi interface. The training covered several key modules:
- Digital Registration: How to input new toddler profiles and maintain a digital database of the local community.
- Anthropometric Simulation: Cadres practiced taking precise measurements of height and weight, which were then immediately entered into the application.
- Automated Status Analysis: The application uses built-in WHO (World Health Organization) growth standards to instantly calculate whether a child falls into the category of normal, wasted, or severely wasted.
- Data Visualization: Training on how to read the digital growth curves generated by the app, allowing cadres to show parents their child’s progress in real-time.
Throughout the session, the enthusiasm among the PKK and Posyandu members was palpable. Many participants, who had spent years using manual rulers and paper booklets, noted that the digital system significantly reduced the time required for each child’s check-up. The "One-Click" philosophy of the app meant that once the measurements were entered, the analysis was instantaneous, removing the need for manual calculations that often led to inaccuracies.
Data-Driven Healthcare: Implications for Policy and Community
The shift toward digital health records (e-Health) at the Posyandu level has profound implications for broader public health policy. When data is digitized at the source, it can be aggregated and analyzed by local health offices (Dinas Kesehatan) with unprecedented speed. This allows for "precision public health," where interventions—such as the distribution of supplementary feeding (PMT)—can be directed exactly where they are needed most.
Based on the evaluation conducted after the training, there was a measurable increase in the digital literacy and technical competence of the participants. Before the session, many cadres expressed hesitation about using smartphones for official health duties. However, the intuitive design of Satu Klik Gizi, which features a simplified user interface and local language support, helped bridge the digital divide.
The accuracy of the data collected through this app is expected to be significantly higher than manual records. In manual systems, a misplaced decimal point or a misread chart can result in a child being misclassified. By automating the classification process based on standardized Z-scores, Satu Klik Gizi ensures that every child in RW 011 Pamulang Timur receives an objective and accurate assessment of their nutritional status.
Official Responses and Future Outlook
Dr. Sukmawati Anggraeni Putri highlighted that the sustainability of this program is a top priority. "We do not want this to be a one-time event. Our goal is for Satu Klik Gizi to become a permanent fixture in Posyandu operations. We will continue to provide remote support and updates to the application to ensure it evolves with the community’s needs," she explained.
Representatives from the local community in Pamulang Timur expressed their gratitude for the initiative. They noted that the presence of a prestigious institution like Universitas Nusa Mandiri helps bring a sense of professionalism and modernization to their local volunteer efforts. The collaboration is seen as a model for how universities can fulfill their social responsibility by solving specific, localized problems with scalable digital solutions.
Furthermore, the integration of students into the project provides them with invaluable "real-world" experience. Dimas Ikhsan Ali and Rifqy Tsanaya remarked that seeing their technical work being used to improve the health of children gave their studies a deeper sense of purpose. This alignment of student learning and community service is a hallmark of the modern Indonesian higher education system under the "Kampus Merdeka" (Independent Campus) framework.
Conclusion: A Digital Milestone for Public Health
The successful implementation of the Satu Klik Gizi application at Posyandu Gurame serves as a blueprint for digital health transformation across Indonesia. By focusing on the smallest unit of healthcare—the neighborhood Posyandu—UNM is addressing the root of the country’s nutritional challenges. The synergy between Information Systems and Informatics disciplines has proven that technology is most effective when it is designed with a deep understanding of the human element.
As Universitas Nusa Mandiri continues to assert its role as a "Digital Business Campus," its focus remains clear: to produce innovations that are not only commercially viable but socially transformative. The Satu Klik Gizi program is more than just an app; it is a movement toward a more data-literate, health-conscious, and technologically empowered society. With continued support from government grants and the dedication of academic professionals, the goal of a "Zero Wasting" Indonesia becomes an achievable reality, one click at a time.
The success of this program in South Tangerang is expected to be documented and presented as a case study for other regions, potentially leading to a wider rollout of the application in other provinces. As the data from Pamulang Timur begins to flow into the digital ecosystem, the path toward a healthier, more resilient generation of Indonesian children is being paved by the innovative spirit of Universitas Nusa Mandiri.
