Development of “RURUH” Mobile Based Application to Increase Mental Health Awareness

The purpose of this research is to develop an information system that can improve Ubah Stigma’s business processes in spreading awareness and changing the stigma about mental health in Indonesia to the public through various mental health education and mental health management programs. The problem in this study is the lack of public interest in using health management service programs offered by Ubah Stigma because of the difficulties in accessing these services on the Ubah Stigma website. The solution chosen was to develop a mobile application “Ruruh” that can be the main platform for people in accessing Ubah Stigma work programs, especially the use of the safe Space program, counseling session registration, and educational podcast regarding mental health. The design and development of the mobile application “Ruruh” are carried out by implementing The Rapid Application Development (RAD) method where there are several iterative processes. Linear regression quantitative methods using questionnaire data were used to evaluate the system implementation. The results show that the solution could successfully increase public interest in using the mobile application to access Ubah Stigma work programs and learn more information about mental health.
