Mobile Application of Community Screening Test on Infant Fever (SToIF) using Backward Chaining Technique

Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to develop a mobile application that able to provide guidelines to young parents to identify symptom of fever and the action by using backward chaining. Besides that, the aim of this project is to determine parents’ satisfaction level towards “Mobile Application of Community Screening Test on Infant Fever (SToIF) Using Backward Chaining Technique” using questionnaire. This project application provides detection steps for infant fever by screening test technique. This application gives a focus on fever for infant below 6 months. Lack of experiences gives some ideas to build an application that help and provide guidelines on baby healthcare for young parents, especially when the parent have a new born baby always worry and keep thinking about well-being of their baby. The environment of the proposed system developed during the study is off-line system. Offline system is chosen because to reduce any problem related to efficiency of application. This application can be use even the user do not have any internet coverage. After searching and reading process of the information from journal, conference papers and books, comparison is made and backward chaining technique was chosen to be developed. Backward chaining is a technique which give more response time. The project provides an answer for each question. Screening test is a technique to screen the symptom of fever among infant.
