Bandung, Telkom University – Another Health Service Application that was successfully created by Telkom University Students is My Midwife. MyBidan is a web-based application that functions to provide information & educate as well as monitoring the health of toddlers and pregnant women.

MyBidan Features
Through this program, Telkom University is able to create a Health Service application that can provide benefits to existing Health Services within the Telkom University campus , as well as provide solutions for the community around the campus to help improve the quality of Health. The background of making the MyBidan application is because there are more and more stunting problems in Indonesia. Where a Stunting itself is a condition where the child’s height is below the standard and is caused by the following factors:
- Limited knowledge of pregnant women.
- They still don’t care about nutrition problems.
- Midwives still do the recording manually and it is very possible for human error.
- The socialization that has been held by the village at this time has not had a big impact.
- The condition of the covid-19 pandemic that makes a meeting or class program for pregnant women
The MyBidan application was created by students of the Information Systems S1 Study Program , Faculty of Industrial Engineering, namely by the Al Jazari Team consisting of Muhammad Ilham Alhari (SI 2018), Widia Febriyani (SI 2017) and Wader Trisepa Jonson (SI 2018) with the competition supervisor, Asti Amalia Nur Fajrillah. The idea for this program is then developed in a social project proposal and video.
