This application enhances height measurement accuracy in infants, suggesting easier data sharing with healthcare professionals.
Infant growth is an important indicator of their health and development, making accurate and regular measurements essential. However, traditional measurement methods are often inaccurate and require frequent visits to healthcare centers. In this report, we developed a infant height measurement application using smartphone camera technology and image processing algorithms to provide a practical and accurate solution. The application not only simplifies height measurement but also facilitates the recording and analysis of infant growth data. Parents can store measurement history digitally and share this data with doctors or healthcare professionals for a more comprehensive assessment. This feature is especially useful for the early detection of potential growth issues, such as stunting, allowing for timely medical intervention. Testing shows that the application has varying degrees of accuracy, with some subjects demonstrating high accuracy while others require further adjustments for consistent results.
