Abstract

Weighing children using digital scales children are often faced with quite difficult problems, where babies cry, keep moving, even the scales become inaccurate because babies move a lot. Conventional and digital scales that are used today, mostly use the method where the child is placed on the scale and then measures the child^s weight. Based on these problems, the solution that can be done is to design a control weighing device where the method used is weighing the mother and child together. Control of mother and child scales is needed, in order to provide safety and comfort for children. Safety and comfort are the basic priorities for designing a mother and child weighing system. The system is equipped with mobile phone and PC interfaces. This device is to make it easier for parents and nurses to display the results of weight measurements. The system can be used to monitor a child^s weight development. The aim of the study was to design a mother and child weighing system. This study uses an experimental method. Proof of research in the form of design is done by making prototypes. Prototyping focuses on building mechanical and electrical units. The results of the study show that the product system is precision scales, safe, comfortable and easy to use.
