Abstract:
The purpose of this project was to develop a native
Android application called My Child, for the user to manage
the information of the child’s health and development and
monitor the growth of the child since birth. The parent could
keep on updating the records and track the progress of their
child’s growth through medication, milestones and vaccination
logs. The application was also developed with report
generation and vaccination due to reminder functionalities.
The approved immunization schedule in Sri Lanka was
selected to be the default vaccine schedule of the application
because the main target audience of the system was Sri Lankan
parents. Since there is no such facility at the moment for Sri
Lankan parents to track their child’s well-being, this
application was expected to fill that gap. The application was
developed using Android SDK and various other open
libraries. Android API 19 and above versions are supported by
the application. This is a major tool for every parent who
wants to track continuously updated facts about their child’s
health and well-being.
