Online published on 9 January, 2019. Abstract One of the factors that is thought to be the cause of the lack of success in child growth and development monitoring programs is the use of instruments that are less practical. This study aims to make a more practical instrument that is Android-based child development detection software, considering that Android-based gadgets are a popular communication tool for health workers. The design stages included: 1) provision of hardware, software, brainware, and material books; 2) frame making, material compilation, material integration into the frame; 3) evaluation of the quality of instruments through FGDs with users, and 4) giving recommendations. Evaluation of the quality of the instrument through the 3 stages of the FGD showed that content, accuracy, format, ease of use, timeliness, and spped of operation are good. Furthermore, it was recommended for the government to use this instrument as a medium for implementing the ESDIGDC program, as well as for researchers to use and refine this design as an instrument for research on children's growth and development.
