Optimalisasi Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak di Era Teknologi

In today’s fast-paced digital era, health information is no longer obtained solely through direct visits to health facilities but can also be accessed through information technology such as E-Health platforms and social media. Through these digital tools, mothers not only gain basic knowledge about child health but also acquire essential information, such as how to prevent stunting, maintain optimal nutrition during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, and improve maternal health. Easily accessible information has become an important resource for parents, especially mothers, in supporting the maximum growth and development of their children from an early age. This community service activity, entitled Optimizing Maternal and Child Health in the Technological Era, aimed to improve participants’ knowledge while also shaping positive attitudes toward the use of information technology and social media. Through this program, participants were encouraged to be more skillful and selective in accessing accurate health information, thus supporting efforts to maintain maternal and child health both within the family and in the school environment. The activity was carried out at TK IT Al-Andalusia, Gowa Regency, involving parents, teachers, and the school community. The results showed that the program was implemented successfully and smoothly, receiving very positive responses from participants. They were highly enthusiastic throughout the sessions, from lectures to interactive discussions. Furthermore, participants expressed their hope that similar activities could be conducted regularly and on an ongoing basis. In this way, the benefits achieved can be sustained, leading to improved health outcomes and the development of healthier lifestyles in schools and the wider community.
