Child nutrition guiding mobile application

Abstract

Buje mobile application provides parents and child caregivers of children aged 0 to 5 years with nutritional information to guide them while planning meals for their children. Most parents/ child caregivers in Uganda don't have a centralized and reliable source of nutritional information in regards to child feeding hence the need for the Buje app. This report is a detailed compilation of all activities we engaged in while developing the child nutrition guiding mobile application (Buje). It involves chapter 1 which is about the background to the problem, problem statement, objectives and the scope, chapter 2 which is about the literature review, chapter 3 which is made up of the methodology, chapter 4 which consists of system study, analysis and design, chapter 5 which is about system implementation, testing and validation and chapter 6 which consists of the conclusion. Some of the problems faced were the high costs of data and unstable network connectivity. Due to the unstable network some online interviews were interrupted as they were being carried out which made the The data collection process tiring. The main objective was achieved by successfully developing child nutrition guiding mobile application. The project enabled us to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during our course of study.
