Breastmilk is crucial for newborns, providing essential protection against
illnesses, as highlighted by UNICEF. The absence of a formal system for milk
donation has led to potential health risks, necessitating a secure and efficient solution.
This study introduces the Kalinga App, created in collaboration with the Quezon City
Human Milk Bank (QCHMB), to streamline the method of donating and requesting
breast milk, enhancing the awareness and utilization of Milk Banks across the
country. Kalinga was developed to address the critical need for a structured and
accessible platform for breast milk donation, aiming to mitigate the risks associated
with informal milk-sharing practices. The Kalinga App integrates several features
such as Milk Bank Locator, Categorization, and Milk History, built primarily with
the MERN stack framework (MongoDB, Express.js, React and React Native,
Node.js). These technologies ensured the app's performance and scalability. The
system's compliance with ISO 25010 standards ensures its high acceptability in terms
of Functional Suitability, Performance Efficiency, Compatibility, Usability,
Security, Maintainability, and Portability. The app included a user-friendly interface,
robust user verification, comprehensive donor and recipient medical-assisted
screening, a map-based milk bank locator, prioritization categorization, real-time
transaction updates, detailed transaction history, and data analytics for efficient
monitoring. The development process utilized tools such as Visual Studio Code,
Figma, Git, Expo Go, MongoDB Atlas, and Firebase Storage, among others, to
guarantee users a smooth and secure experience. Evaluation results indicate that the
Kalinga App was evaluated as highly acceptable, effectively meeting user needs and
achieving the intended objectives of supporting and enhancing breast milk donation
processes. Kalinga’s development and deployment provided a reliable platform that
facilitates safer and more efficient breast milk donation, thus empowering Milk
Banks and contributing to public health.
