Abstract

Rapid technological developments affect the way people do or get something. One of them is how to get information about health. The Usada Hindu Bali application is one example of obtaining information about traditional Balinese medicine by utilizing technological developments. This application was made using the Android version 4.4 Kit Kat platform created in 2013. Using a 10.6MB file size displays several menus including: Usada Meaning, Application Rate, Other Applications, and a list of diseases and names of traditional medicines. The Usada Bali Hindu application is not only valuable in technology but displays cultural and health values, so by providing information on traditional Balinese medicine it automatically elevates the value of Balinese culture. In terms of health this application offers traditional Balinese medicine, this provides an alternative choice, so that people can choose the treatment they like. The existence of the Usada Hindu Bali application is expected to improve the health status of the community by utilizing traditional medicine information through technology-based applications.
