Development of the NODYS Web Platform to Support Dietary Management in Dyspepsia Patients

Dyspepsia refers to a cluster of gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain or burning sensations. It is classified as a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence in Indonesia. Contributing factors include unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, psychological stress, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Numerous studies consistently report significant associations between dietary patterns, meal frequency, and food types with the risk of dyspepsia. In response, this study developed a web-based platform, Nodys, designed to support individuals with dyspepsia by providing educational resources for initial symptom management and guidance in adopting dietary practices aligned with medical needs. The platform also features tailored information on recommended and restricted foods, as well as diet recommendations adaptable to individual health conditions. The research employed the SDLC prototyping model. Usability testing with 20 respondents, assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS), yielded an average score of 73. According to SUS scoring parameters, this corresponds to a grade of B with an adjective rating of “good.” Leveraging information technology, Nodys is expected to offer a practical and accessible solution for dyspepsia management
