Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM) has launched an innovative digital application named "Satu Klik Gizi" (One-Click Nutrition) to combat malnutrition in toddlers. The application aims to empower health workers at community health centers (Posyandu) with easy-to-use technology for early detection of wasting, a form of malnutrition.
The initiative, funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology's community service grant program, was led by a team of UNM lecturers. They conducted a socialization and training session for PKK and Posyandu cadres in Tangerang Selatan on July 16, 2026. The project integrates expertise from UNM's Information Systems and Informatics study programs to ensure a robust technological solution.
Dr. Sukmawati Anggraeni Putri, the project lead, emphasized the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration in creating impactful innovations. She stated that the "Satu Klik Gizi" application is designed not only to be technologically advanced but also user-friendly for cadres, regardless of their digital literacy levels. The goal is to provide a sustainable solution for modern, effective, and data-driven Posyandu services.
During the training, participants actively engaged with the application, practicing digital anthropometric measurements and nutritional status recording. Evaluations showed a significant increase in the cadres' understanding and skills in using digital tools for early malnutrition detection. The digitalization of toddler data is expected to enhance service accuracy, efficiency, and speed.
Satu Klik Gizi application becomes a sustainable solution in supporting Posyandu services that are more modern, effective, and data-driven.
