Abstract

In the present curricular integration work, an information system was implemented for decision-making on child malnutrition in Riobamba city, Chimborazo province. The system focuses on the presentation of information on the nutritional status of children under 5 years through a dashboard. The definition of the information system requirements was carried out with the Nutritional Food Security and Sovereignty Research Group of Ecuador, which is in the Faculty of Public Health of the Polytechnic Higher School of Chimborazo. To develop the solution, the SCRUMBAN methodology was used, which lasted 870 hours divided into 6 sprints. The architecture of the information system is made up of 4 layers: data collection layer, preprocessing layer, analysis layer and application layer. The programming languages used in the coding of the system were: JavaScript, Python and R. Through a comparative analysis, the tool that was selected for data analysis and visualization was Apache Superset. The system was evaluated according to Usefulness, Trust and Comfort which are sub characteristics of Satisfaction. The obtained acceptability value is 86.92%, which indicates that the Satisfaction of the information system is Acceptable.
