ABSTRACT

Maternal and child mortality rates are still high, making it a major problem in the world of health. Effort to improve maternal and child health been carried out with various effort that are in line with the Efforts to Reduce Maternal and Child Mortality. According to the 2010 Population Census data the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) of 346 per 100,000 live births (SP 2010) has decreased to 305/100,000 live births (SUPAS 2015). Neonatal Mortality Rate (AKN), from the IDHS data, in 2012 there were 19/1,000 live births an the National Mortality Rate decreased again in 2017 to 15/1,000 live births. To reduce this mortality rate, the collaboration between midwives and pregnant women to deliver in a health care facility is needed. One of the efforts carried out by the Indonesian Ministry of Health at present is community empowerment by improving performance programs, especially midwives. To support the program, it is necessary to utilize cellular and internet technology to maximize up-to-date information, interactive communication media and easy access to mobile technology. The design method for this system is prototyping at the mobile-friendly maternal and child health system modeling stage. It was concluded that the prototyping method can be applied to carry out mobile analysis of maternal and child health information. The results of the analysis can be used as a consideration in determining the right strategy in efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality.
