Monitoring children's growth and development is one of the basic programs implemented by Community health center (Puskesmas) to ensure a healthy life and improve children's welfare. The Bengkulu City Health Office identified limited human resources and a lack of supporting tools as inhibiting factors in achieving SDIDTK service targets.

The results of the pre and post-test of the training showed that 94% of participants increased their knowledge. The results of the assessment of skills in using the application showed that 100% of participants were able to do as directed.
