Childhood stunting and abnormal growth development affect 1 in 5 children nationally, representing a critical public health challenge that often goes unnoticed due to fragmented, paper-based tracking and irregular clinical visits. This paper introduces R.I.S.E. (Reference-based Integrated Smart Evaluation), a smart digital system designed to transition child height growth monitoring from isolated, manual logging into a proactive, cloud-based analytical ecosystem. Developed under a structured three-tier framework, the system captures baseline demographics and multi-point height logs from caregivers via a mobile application, processes data through a smart cloud calibrated against standard World Health Organization (WHO) growth percentiles, and generates real-time visual charts and automated risk alerts for early developmental deviations. Developed by researchers at Sekolah Menengah Sains Tuanku Munawir, R.I.S.E. directly addresses Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 and SDG 10) by democratizing premium pediatric tracking for underserved communities. The platform’s technical and practical viability has been validated through multiple innovation accolades and a formal Letter of Intent (LOI) for pilot deployment. Ultimately, R.I.S.E. offers a validated, low-cost, and highly scalable solution ready for integration into public school networks and primary healthcare channels to empower proactive growth monitoring.
