Digital Innovation Approach for Stunting Knowledge and Awareness Development in Society

Stunting, a lasting consequence of malnutrition poses a significant obstacle to child development and overall well-being. Hence, addressing this issue becomes crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the Zero Hunger ambition. This paper focuses on the Indonesian context, aligning efforts to combat stunting with the country's development agenda. Moreover, it aims to raise awareness among individuals who remain uninformed about the truth regarding stunting, often mistakenly associating it with hereditary factors. Utilizing digital technology on several platforms and developing an Artificial Intelligence model by using the decision tree algorithm approach can be a fairly effective method for achieving that objective. Specifically, the decision tree will separate data based on certain attributes by forming branches that represent recommendations that must be made based on experienced malnutrition. Through an informative social media and website that provide information and features about stunting, which evolved by that method, it turns out to be a step that is quite helpful in increasing public awareness. This is because it allows rapid information dissemination by reaching a much wider audience. By increasing public awareness about stunting, this will make a contribution to positive changes in nutrition practices and efforts to overcome stunting in Indonesia.
