Design of the ‘Sehat Bareng’ Information System for Early Digital-Based Screening of Hypertension and Diabetes

Abstract

Hypertension and diabetes are two non-communicable diseases with high prevalence in Indonesia; however, community practices for monitoring and early detection remain low. This study aims to design a self-screening system called “Sehat Bareng” as a tool to help identify health risks early and increase health awareness. The study employed a system design approach using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) stages, starting with a user needs survey, process flow modeling, and interface development. The survey was conducted with 10 adult respondents who had experience using digital devices. Survey results showed that most respondents had not been regularly checking their blood pressure or blood sugar levels. The designed system provides a simple screening workflow, automatic risk assessment, and educational feedback. Interface evaluation indicated that the system is easy to understand, although adjustments are needed for text size and readability on mobile displays. This study contributes an initial design of a community-based screening system that can support promotive and preventive efforts in controlling non-communicable diseases. The system has the potential for further development for implementation in larger populations.
