Increasing NCD Awareness in School through Physical Education (PE) Subject: An Informatics Approach

Abstract

Non-communicable disease is a medical condition or disease that is by definition non-infectious and
non-transmissible among people. Currently, NCDs are the leading causes of death and disease
burden worldwide. NCD usually attack elderly or more can we say that is only realized when people
come to a certain age. To prevent this from happening, a solution has been proposed to start the
awareness as early as possible. The proposed solution is to implement the awareness program thru
Physical Education (PE) subject in both primary and secondary school. This proposed framework
will have four main modules, Students Health Management System, Health and Fitness Apps, Health
Education through Blended Learning and Fitness Training. This framework will involve minimum of
three users, the PE teacher, students and parents. The data contains in this framework will be stored
using cloud storage technology to ease the access from all side. The main objective of this proposed
solution is to enforce the healthy lifestyle in the students and hopefully can reduce the chances of
NCD.
