A mobile app to issue warning for food and nutrition security
Journal Title: TecnoLógicas - Year 2019, Vol 22, Issue 45
Abstract
This document presents the mobile application EVANI, as a solution to support communities, which allows them in their territories, the identification of cases of malnutrition in children under 60 months of age, as well as the report of the coordinates of the case and the generation of alerts against the risk of mortality derived from this cause. Once the application was developed, a pilot was conducted to validate the operation of the app and try to identify the possible impact, obtaining as a result, its usefulness in cases of early warning. This allowed us to identify the viability of EVANI as a nutritional alert notification tool, which is a necessary element within the early warning systems of food and nutritional security in the country, which allows the different sectors of government to provide in a timely manner, the necessary care to avoid mortality due to malnutrition.
