Abstract：Objective: To evaluate systematically and describe the utilization of stunting prevention applications. The stunting rate in Indonesia reached 24.4% in 2021, exceeding the WHO standard of <20%. Therefore, the introduction and implementation of Android applications are expected to provide pregnant women with prior information to prevent stunting in children.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to Prisma Checklist 2020 guidelines. A systematic literature search based on the Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) framework was conducted on 4 databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Scopus. The eligibility of articles was assessed using CASP and CEBM tools.
Results: The analysis of nine articles showed several models of stunting prevention applications. These include Nutrimo, which monitors children's nutrition; PODO CETING, which supports maternal understanding of the nutritional needs of toddlers; ACALS, which monitors compliance with iron supplementation; GASING, which educates on stunting prevention behaviors; Sahabat Bunda, which provides information on stunting phenomena for early prevention; Offline Stunting Application, which educates cadres on stunting; and the Stunting Service Information System Application, which serves as a center for monitoring stunting services.
Conclusions: The use of e-Health aids in preventing stunting by providing accessible and self-conducted educational and monitoring tools, eliminating the need for physical visits to health care facilities, as well as improving the health of pregnant women and infants.
