Implementation of a Web-Based Posyandu Information System Using the CodeIgniter Framework: A Case Study in Dusun Budiawaton, Central Lombok

Abstract

This study aims to design and implement a web-based information system to support the operational and administrative activities of Posyandu Mawar, a community-based maternal and child health service located in Dusun Budiawaton, Central Lombok, Indonesia. The current manual system used in data recording—especially for child growth monitoring, immunization records, and nutritional status—is prone to errors, data loss, and inefficiency. To address these issues, a web-based system was developed using the CodeIgniter framework, selected for its lightweight structure and MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, which enhances maintainability and scalability.

The system provides key features including child and mother registration, immunization tracking, weight and height monitoring, growth chart visualization (KMS), and automated reporting. The development followed a prototyping methodology involving continuous user feedback from midwives and health volunteers to ensure the system meets actual field needs. Testing results showed that the system significantly improved data accuracy, reduced recording time, and enabled easier access to historical health data. Furthermore, the interface was designed to be simple and user-friendly to accommodate users with varying levels of digital literacy.

The implementation of this system demonstrates the potential of localized digital health solutions to improve primary health care delivery in rural areas. Future development may include integration with district-level health information systems and mobile-based access for broader reach. This research contributes to digital transformation initiatives in community health services by providing a replicable model for other Posyandu units across Indonesia.
