The application Growing Up is a user-friendly system designed to track and manage the development of babies from 0 to 5 years old, ensuring a healthy and nurturing journey. It will be accessible to parents, guardians, public health midwives (PHM), and doctors. The system allows guardians to register their babies by providing basic information such as name, birth date, gender, current weight, and height.
Doctors and PHMs can update the baby's vaccination records, weight, and height details over time. The system incorporates a standard vaccine schedule and provides notifications for upcoming vaccinations, as well as alerts if the baby's weight or height deviates from the standard range.
Users can also note any additional medications, vitamins, or recommendations from healthcare professionals. Doctors and PHMs have the ability to search for specific babies and review their history.
To assist users, the system includes an AI chatbot named Nanny. Nanny can answer questions, provide clarification, and offer advice on various aspects of baby care.

The Growing Up mobile application follows a client-server architecture, utilizing various components and services to deliver its functionality. The architecture can be divided into the following components:
User Interface (UI)
The user interface component is responsible for presenting the application's screens and enabling user interaction. It is developed using Java and Android Studio, following the best practices for mobile UI development. The UI component includes activities, fragments, and views that allow users to register, log in, enter baby details, track vaccinations, monitor growth, and access other features of the application.
Backend Server
The backend server component serves as the intermediary between the mobile application and the database, handling business logic and facilitating data exchange. It is built using Firebase, which provides various services such as authentication, real-time database functionality, analytics, and performance monitoring. The backend server communicates with the mobile application using RESTful APIs and handles user registration, baby registration, vaccination tracking, growth monitoring, and other backend operations.
Database
The database component stores and manages the application's data, ensuring its persistence and availability. Firebase's real-time database is used to securely store user profiles, baby details, vaccination records, growth data, medication and recommendation history, and other relevant information. The database component allows efficient retrieval and updating of data, enabling seamless user experiences across devices.
External Services/APIs
The mobile application integrates with external services and APIs to enhance its functionality. Specifically, Baby Development Tracking System connects to external sources to retrieve a standard vaccine schedule from both government and private sources. This integration ensures that the application always provides up-to-date information on vaccinations and their schedules.
- Users interact with the mobile application's UI, which sends requests and data to the backend server.
- The backend server processes the requests, performs necessary operations such as data validation and calculations, and communicates with the database to retrieve or update relevant information.
- The database stores and retrieves data securely, ensuring data integrity and availability.
- The external services/APIs are accessed when required to fetch the standard vaccine schedule, which is then utilized by the backend server to provide accurate vaccination tracking information to the users.
By following this architecture, the Growing Up mobile application ensures seamless communication, efficient data management, and reliable functionality for tracking and managing the development of babies.
