SmartHealth a Web-Based Platform for Adolescent Health Education with User Testing

Adolescents in Indonesia continue to face barriers in accessing accurate, engaging, and relevant health education, while digital health literacy remains uneven. This study aims to develop and evaluate SmartHealth, a web-based adolescent health education platform, using an integrated theoretical framework combining the Technology Acceptance Model, Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Digital Health Literacy Model. The research employs a Research and Development approach that integrates the Borg and Gall model with the Waterfall software development method across four stages: need assessment, product design, system development, and limited field testing. A total of 60 high school students participated in usability testing using the System Usability Scale. The results show that SmartHealth achieved a mean usability score of 78.4, indicating good user acceptance, ease of use, and suitability for adolescent needs. The platform successfully provides accessible digital health content, interactive features, and online consultation support. This study concludes that SmartHealth is feasible, usable, and contextually relevant as a digital health education platform for Indonesian adolescents.
