proposed applied ML tool. • To provide a dashboard and real-time graph of the current
cases recorded of the barangay.
• To integrate analytics forecasting tool to provide an
analysis of the rise and decline of health-related cases in each
district and the whole barangay.
Scope and Delimitations
The study focuses on developing a web-based health information
system portal platform for barangays to use as a method of
dissemination of health-related activities and programs that are
available in the barangay. It provides registration for specified
vaccines accommodated by the barangay to provide the community
Page Reflected
Manuscript
an easier transaction of acquiring a slot for the vaccine. The web
portal includes real-time updates regarding the health state of each
district in the barangay as well as the state of the whole barangay.
An interactive dashboard will be implemented to provide a
user-friendly way of informing the community, primarily to people
who are not that knowledgeable in technology.
The development of the study serves as a single-point platform of
specified services of the barangay. It can serve as a reference tool
for barangay officials as the utilization of a simple forecasting
analytics tool can aid them in developing efficient decision-making
in preparing for possible outcomes depending on the analysis.
The web-based application will be developed for a specific barangay
in Tondo, Manila City since a limited time constraint of 6 months
will be allotted for the completion of the study. The chosen target
population by the study will be part of the developmental phases of
the web portal to test the efficiency and accuracy of the result. Thus,
the data used for the web portal will only contain recorded
health-related cases of that barangay. The web portal does not
indicate all vaccines for the vaccine registration feature; rather it
only provides registration for COVID-19 vaccines and flu vaccines.
The study decided to use the trend function in Microsoft Excel by
applying it in PHP as the analytics tool since it provides a simpler
interface and computation that will be understandable to the
barangay.
Data Privacy
Design
The design for the Barangay web portal is, first there will be a
register for vaccination page. On this page, the user can pick what
type of vaccination and the brand of the vaccine they would like to
get. The next is that there will be a barangay registration wherein the
user can register as part of that barangay. There is also a page that
lets the users see or register for health programs like seminars and
medicine distributions or what they see on that page where the
programs are. There is a page that shows informative articles that
can tell the users how to prevent a certain disease and how to
prevent them. Next is there will be also a page that has the analytics
forecast that can be only managed by the barangay staff or
administrator, and be only visible to the users as a chart that displays
a disclaimer on what the user should prepare for. There will also be
a page wherein all the announcements from the barangay are posted
and can keep the users updated. Also, a page in this web portal is the
prescription of medicine and viewing of medicine in-store wherein
the users can request prescribed medicine. Lastly, there will be a
page where the emergency hotline will show and display. For the
privacy of the users we will be implementing a terms and conditions
article where the users can be informed on their privacy that the
study will only use their information for research purposes only.

Manuscript
Me: good morning po chairman, ang first question ko po is Paano
nalalaman ng barangay kung ang isang tao ay confirmed na may
COVID-19?
Chairman: okay magandang umaga unag una pano nalalamn ng
barangay na may confirmed cases tayo with regards to covid19,
unag una ung atin mga residente na nag positive ininform kami
through text. Hindi sila personal na pumupunta dito, so kinukuha
nila number namin or messenger tapos dun nila isesend yung
kanilang swab result or ROTCR na tinatawag. So once na nag
positive sila ang trabaho ng barangay ay a icoordinate ito sa aurora
health center na hawak ng manila health department. So un ung
proseso ang trabaho naman ng BHERT ang barangay kasi ay amy
tinatawag na BHERT or Barangay health and emergency response
team. So un ung trabaho namin ay mag monitor ng positive cases
ang trabaho ng BHERT ay kukunin nya nayon ung details ng
positive patients ay kukunin din nya ung details ng kasama nila sa
bahay, so mag sisilbi si BHERT na contact tracer. So sya ung
magiging contact tracer ng barangay. So pag nakuha na nya ang
information with regards sa positive patients and ung kasama nya sa
bahay un ay amin cinocoordinate sa Health center sa manila health
department. Nayon ang trabaho ni BHERT ay imonitor ito so meron
kami tinatawag na monitoring sheet kung asaan nalalaman namin
ang body temperature ng patiente, condition nya, kung siya ba ay
nahihirapan huminga, so binibigyan namin sya ng gamit, kung wala
silang gamit nag proprovide ang barangay ng pulsimeter para
malaman ang oxygenation ng katawan then thermometer para
malaman ang body temp and binibigyan namin siya ng thermal
scanner. So un ung prinoprovide ng barangay. Nayon, just in case na
kailangan nila mag isolate ang tanong jan ay ilan araw siya dapat
mag isolate. So ito ang positive patient ay may symptoms kailangan
nya mag undergo ng 14 days na quarantine so nag iisolate siya nun.
Ung kasama niya sa bahay ay minomonitor din yan baka kasi
mamaya may mag develop ng symptoms, so ang trabaho ni BHERT
ung mga kasama nniya sa bahay ay kailangan nya ma contact at
maiconfirm kung meron mag develop ng symptoms ay amin ipapa
swab test din. Kung halimbawa naman ay asymptomatic ang kanilng
patient or walang nararamdaman bsta nagging positive sya sa
ngayon ay 10 days sya quarantine nayon ung mga kasama sa bahay
kahit wala naman na develop na symptoms ay usually ay 7 days
lang pero ginagawa nadin namin na 10 days para makasiguro lang
wala na hawaan. Nayon natapos nna ang kanyang 14 days na
quarantine, kung ito ay nag oopisina with regards to monitoring
ipapadala namin ito sa health center nayon si health center or ang
manila health department ang mag bibigay ng quarantine certificate
na ibigdabihin ay natapos na nya ang kanyang quarantine pirmado
ito para atleas maka balik sya sa kanyang trabaho so un ung mga
processo. Tapos kung halimbawa naman ay di sila makaklabas wala
silang pag kain wala sila anything or need nila bumili. Ang atin
BHERT ang siyang gumagawa ng paraan dun. Ang barangay na ang
mag proprovide ng kanilang kailangan pagkain tubig kung wala

talaga. Pwede nila utusan ang BHERT para makabili para sakanila.
Un ang trabaho ng BHERT.
Me: so nasagot na po natin ung process ng pag momonitor and kung
sino po ung namamhala. Pga may need po ba ako ma interview sa
BHERT kayo din po ba ang lalapitan ko?
Chairman: pwede din akop naman kung halimbawa gusto mo mag
interview ng emergency health response team ay makiicoordinate
tayo sakanila yan kasi meron akong apat na BHERT para sila
nagagasiwas sa covid patients kunyarai nahirapan ka huminga,
meron akong taga dala sa ospital. Taga dala sa quarantine facilities
un ang trabaho nila. Mags provide ng pangangailangan nila
Me: dati po kasi nag implement tayo ng lockdown gano po katagal
na proporcess or masasabi na mag lolockdown tayo?
Chairman: okay, so sa pag lolockdown naman meron yan criteria di
basta nag lolockdown talaga need icoordinate siya sa office of the
mayor. Kasi si mayor ang mag sasabi kung mag lolocalize lockdown
tayo kung halimbawa ikaw sa barangay mo meron kang sampu
pataas na caso ng covid 19 un ung time na hihingi ka na ng tulong sa
office of the mayor para atleas ay ma inform sila na ikaw ay mataas
ang caso that’s the time na mag dedeclare ang mayor na ang
barangay 69 ay mag dedeclare ng lockdown, pero kung streets lang
naman ok lang na si mayor din ang mag sasabi na tayo ay under sa
lockdown. So si mayor ang mag aaprova ang mag sasabi na ikaw ay
mag lolockdown na dahil inereport mo na ikaw ay may mataas na
kaso. Coordinated dito ang manila health department ang kapulisan
para maisagawa ang lockdown. So ung barangay naman po namin
ay may history ng cases Pwede po ba kami makakuha ng data sa
mga confirmed number ng COVID-19 cases sa barangay at mga iba
pa?
Chairman: yes pwede naman no pero with regards sa pangalan nila
di ko pwede ibigay ang pangalan pero pwede ko ibigay ang number
of cases na nag karoon ang barangay sino ung mga naka recover.
Makakpag bigay kami.
Me: Meron po ba kami kailangan alamin pag dating sa law or mga
batas about data privacy sa pag gawa namin ng System na ito?
Chairaman: wala naman pero we are just following IATF rules, un
lang naman ang amin sinusunod sa batas. Un nga lang prinepreserve
namin ang confidentiality ng nag popositive dahil meron tayo
dilemma pag dating sa ganyan dahil nag kakaron ang mga tao ng
takot dahol nag kakaroon sila ng stigma, nahihiya sila pero ang
batas ay sumunod lang sa IATF rules.
Me: pag gumana po ung ginagawa po namin na system pwede po
ban amin itry sainyo ung system namin?
Chairman: yes syempre very much welcome kayo
Me: un lang po chairman thank you po!

Chairman : welcome welcome.

Me: pag nag aanounce po kao dito sa barangay mano mano po since
may speaker po tayo bukod po dun san pa po may facebook page po
ba or?
Chairman: actually sabi ko nga sayo that is confidential pag dating
dun sa atin mga positive cases so we make it confidential ang
BHERT lang at ako ang nakakaalam para atleas di ma magkaron ng
leakage syempre iniiwasan natin ang istigma ng patient as much as
possible kami dito ang BHERT at ako lang ang nakakaalam kung
sino ang mga nagka covid dito para maiwasan ang chismis so un
ang amin iniiwasan namin dun.
Me: nug nag defense kami needs revision so dagdagan daw po
namin and palitan namin na web portal na po siya for information
for health related systems ang tinatanong ko po na announcement po
is pano po pag vaccination po and etc.
Chairman: with regards to medication or vaccination talagang iniisa
isa namin yan talagang bawat residente ay mabakunahan talaga
hinahouse to house namin yan para masiguro namin na lahat ay ma
protectionan
Me: so pag nag aanounce is mano mano parin po kakatok padin po
from house to house di po tayo nag aanounce sa facebook or any
social media platform
Chairman: di po kami nag aanounce sa social media about sa covid
cases we make sure na discrete ang information na gingawa namin
at tulong sakanila di na need I social media pa yan, ung monitoring
namin is discrete kami pag dating sa mga ganyan bagay with regards
sa information.
Me: pag nag reregister for vaccine pupunta po dun sa website diba
ung manila.gov.ph pag nag signin po ako san po mapupunta ang
credentials ko po? Dito po ba agad or saan po?
Chairman: once na nag register ka ikaw ay iischedule and may
designated area kung saan ka pupunta so makakrecive ka nag text
messages na ikaw ay pwede na magpabakuna kung saan area ka
malapit dun ka pupunta aasists ka ng barangay kung ikaw naman ya
di marunong mag register iaasit ka ng barangay na tutulong sayo.
Me: pag dating po sa vaccine bukod po sa vocid vaccine ano
vaccine pa po meron?
Chairman: we have flu vaccine since coordinated kami sa aurora
health center since sila ang nag bibigay ng lalo na ang mga flu
vaccine sila ung tatawag sa barangay bibigyan kami ng islot dun
kung ilan ang para sa barangay yung akin BHERT ang siyang iikot
para atleas mag dala ng information para sa mga senior para sa flu
vaccine
Me: bukod sa flu vaccine ano pa po meron available na vaccine po?
Chairman: pag dating naman sa mga bata eh dadalhin nalang namin
sila sa health center dahil may mga immunization din yan. Kasi ang
barangay meron tinatawang na DHW ang trabaho nila is I assits sila
pag dating sa health programs and health services para madala sila
sa sangay ng local na pamahalaan tulad ng health center under
manila health department.

Me: Nakita ko po ung mga gamoit nay an and naisip ko na gusto ko
siya idagdagn sa website. Pano po ung process na pagkuha nyan?
Chairman: ganito naman yan ung nga gamut nay an ay
binabudgentan ng barangay para atleas pwede ibigay sa residente,
usually ang binibilai natin is mga maintenance para sa mga
anti-hypertensive para sa matataas ang presion para sa mga diabetic
anti diabetic para sa bata mga paracetamol and gamut sa ubo. So un
ang pinapamili ng barangay para atleas meron tayop maibigay para
sa mga residente na walang pambile
Me: so wala na po form na fifillupan pa?
Chairman: wala na, pero kung antibiotics yan need mo magpakita ng
reseta.
Me: kasi need po namin ng data so dun po papasok ang datga
privacy so pano po namin ma para maging legal po ang ginagawa
namin
Chairman: di ko sure yan siguro try nyo ask ang DOH pag dating
jan. kasi ang trabaho lang namin is to distribute kaya di po namin
alam yan.
The actions made are implementing the suggestions of the panelist

with revising the methodology of the paper. The specified revisions
in the Methodology part of the paper are under the Requirement
Analysis, Design, and Development.
Requirements Analysis
A non-functional requirement specifies how a system
should behave and what its functional limitation is. Non-functional
requirements encompass all criteria that aren’t addressed by the
functional requirements. They define criteria that determine a
system’s operation rather than specific behaviors, such as “modified
data in the database should be updated with 2 seconds for all users
2. The panel suggested the accessing it.[46]” The hardware requirement will consist of parts
preparation of web-based barangay that can manage the software that the study will be using. The first
health information system portal to is any Central Processing Unit (CPU) that consists of at least 1.1 pp. 29 -36
help a barangay develop their own gigahertz. for the Random Access Memory (RAM) the unit will
web app. require at least 4 gigabytes of RAM. for the Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
the unit will require at least 20 gigabytes of storage. For the
software requirement, the study will be using languages that are
database and website-related. The study will use Structured Query
Language (SQL) for the database programming. For the website, the
language that will be used is PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. for
the analytics the study will use python for the visualization of
charts.
Design
The design for the Barangay web portal is, first there will
be a register for vaccination page. On this page, the user can pick
what type of vaccination and the brand of the vaccine they would
Page Reflected
Manuscript
like to get. The next is that there will be a barangay registration
wherein the user can register as part of that barangay. There is also a
page that lets the users see or register for health programs like
seminars and medicine distributions or what they see on that page
where the programs are. There is a page that shows informative
articles that can tell the users how to prevent a certain disease and
how to prevent them. Next is there will be also a page that has the
analytics forecast that can be only managed by the barangay staff or
administrator, and be only visible to the users as a chart that displays
a disclaimer on what the user should prepare for. There will also be
a page wherein all the announcements from the barangay are posted
and can keep the users updated. Also, a page in this web portal is the
prescription of medicine and viewing of medicine in-store wherein
the users can request prescribed medicine. Lastly, there will be a
page where the emergency hotline will show and display. For the
privacy of the users we will be implementing a terms and conditions
article where the users can be informed on their privacy that the
study will only use their information for research purposes only.
Development
The development phase of the software methodology of the
paper will focus on programming and creating the actual system of
the study. To bring out the design of the study, HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript would be used to create a user-friendly and appealing
front-end website for the users. The website will contain a
dashboard of current COVID-19 cases and other recorded cases of
the target barangay as well as all the features that would be adopted
based on the benchmarking part of the study. The website would be
hosted by an online web hosting service where it would be
connected to the backend of the website by using MySQL to store
all necessary data and variables. HTML and CSS would be used to
build up the physical appearance of the website including the
dashboard and the design. JavaScript would be used to create the
interactive buttons connected to the backend of the website [47].
Use Case Diagram

Manuscript
The use case diagram of the study will differentiate between 3 types
of users which are separated with their own respective accessibility.
The barangay resident will be able to access the website and view its
contents. In order to register for the offered health care activities, the
resident must first register an account which will reflect later on for
the barangay admins. Upon registering to a vaccine or health care
activity provided by the barangay, it will update the personal profile
of the resident which can be accessible by the barangay admin user.
The barangay admin user can edit and access the website. In terms
of edit, they can create announcements such as any new health care
activity they wish to promote. Each health care activity such as
vaccine registration and other things, will contain a method or an
option to register for it. The barangay admin can also manage user
information when it comes into their respective registered health
care activity. They can also input data for the total number of
COVID-19 cases which would be shown with visualization in a
dashboard. The system admin will have direct access to the database
and they can edit, add, remove, and search personal user
information.

Figure 1.1 Data flow diagram level 1
In the Barangay Information System, the Data Flow

Diagram (DFD) depicts the data flow and transformations. As data
enters and exits a system, It undergoes modification [17]. The input,
processing, and output elements of the DFD are utilized to depict
and define the whole system. The data that are available in barangay
information system DFD are barangay information, residents’
information, barangay health records, residence qualification,
barangay certification. These procedures necessitate data such as
resident records, health certificates, and barangay files, which
served as the foundation for citizens and barangay administrators to
run the barangay information systems. A data store is used to
represent this type of information. Knowing the DFD level 1 of the
Barangay information System would allow you to understand its
broader context terms. Additionally, this may serve as a reference
for how the system’s input or data is fed. The system’s output will
then be communicated to you as well. All of the processes depicted
in the DFD were based on the Barangay Information System idea.
Proposed Process Flow

Manuscript
Figure 1.2 Process Flow

In the proposed process flow of the study, there are mainly
2 users. A normal user represented by the barangay resident and a
barangay health official depicted by the barangay admin. The
barangay resident would be able to view and access the web portal
and register themselves from any proposed healthcare activities such
as the vaccination for COVID-19, Flu Vaccines, Tetanus Vaccines,
etc. Upon registration, the system will update their respective
personal data which would be reflected in the system used by the
barangay admin. The barangay admin can access the list of
residential details as well as insert announcements regarding health
activities for the barangay. The admin would be able to upload data
to the system which will generate forecasting analytics and would
be reflected on the website.
Process Rules
Figure 1.3 process rules
The website contains both the analysis of data as well as the

recording of the current Diseases or any medical issues. The page of
analysis of data is restricted to the barangay official. A barangay
official is considered an administrator who would be given full
access to the data as well as its analysis for the predicted amount of
cases for the following days. An administrator also has the ability to

input data for any new confirmed cases wherein it would update the
website as well as the analysis of data.
Use Case Diagram
The use case diagram of the study will differentiate between 3 types
of users which are separated with their own respective accessibility.
The barangay resident will be able to access the website and view its
contents. In order to register for the offered health care activities, the
resident must first register an account which will reflect later on for
the barangay admins. Upon registering to a vaccine or health care
activity provided by the barangay, it will update the personal profile
of the resident which can be accessible by the barangay admin user.
The barangay admin user can edit and access the website. In terms
of edit, they can create announcements such as any new health care
activity they wish to promote. Each health care activity such as
vaccine registration and other things, will contain a method or an
option to register for it. The barangay admin can also manage user
information when it comes into their respective registered health
care activity. They can also input data for the total number of
COVID-19 cases which would be shown with visualization in a
dashboard. The system admin will have direct access to the database
and they can edit, add, remove, and search personal user
information.
User Matrix

Database Design
Figure 3.6 Database Design

For the database design, there would be 1 single database which will
contain 5 tables. The user table will contain the personal information
for credentials on what type of user they are. It will contain all the
personal data from name to gender and the table will contain a
Page Reflected

password. The user_type column will differentiate what type of user
you are, a resident, a barangay admin, or a system administrator.
Next table would be about the personal data of each user. Users will
contain their own personal home page which will showcase all of
the columns in the user excluding the password which would be
replaced by the registered_activity column that will contain all the
previous and ongoing registered healthcare activity such as
vaccinations and other activity. The next table would be the
registeredActivity table which will contain the information about the
registered activity. The vaccineCategory will separate vaccines from
one another such as if they are a flu vaccine or a COVID-19
vaccine. Lastly, the medicineInventory will contain all available
medicines offered by the barangay where it will allow users to
request for it.
Technical Background
The study will be implementing forecast analytics with the concept
of Regression analysis which defines the relationship of two or more
variables. It defines the dependent or response variable that may be
predicted by the independent or predictor variable [52]. The study
decided to use the Trend function of Microsoft Excel to be
implemented in the programming language PHP. The Trend function
in Microsoft Excel is utilized to calculate a linear trend line by
applying the Least Squares Method (LSM) in order to spot hidden
patterns in historical and current data movements, as well as forecast
future behavior [53,54]. The LSM is a type of mathematical
regression analysis that determines the best fit line for a collection
of data, displaying the relationship between the points visually [55].
This method is used in forecasting the behavior of the dependent
variable. This will serve as the forecast analytics tool of the study as
it will provide a simple analyzed forecast of the recorded
health-related concerns that are present in the barangay. Since the
barangay is a micro-level setting, an average amount of data is only
accumulated. Therefore, the method implemented on the forecast
analytics tool is suitable for the study.

The previous gap analysis revolves around the COVID-19 cases of a
barangay being applied predictive analysis at a micro level. The
panelists however, recommended to create instead a web-portal for
health related systems for a barangay which will include services
such as registration for vaccinations as well as other health care
activities offered by the barangay.
The four(4) gap analysis was created with justification:

(1.) VHISION: INTELLIGENT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM FOR
BARANGAY BARANGKA DRIVE IN MANDALUYONG
CITY[13]
This study is about a barangay health system connected to the
medical record of a hospital and a service wherein it allows the user
to buy medicines and ask for prescription in order to get the
necessary medications. The study however, will be adding the
registration process of vaccination not limited to COVID-19
vaccines but also flu vaccines which are currently offered by the
barangay. The study will not be creating a connection between the
hospital and the system since the purpose of the portal is to inform
the barangay residents about upcoming health care activities and
allow people to register on it and participate.
(2.) Determining Aspects in the Development of Municipal

4. Gap analysis and justification e-Government [14] pp. 4 - pp. 5
This study revolves around the aspects of measuring the capability (Gap Analysis)
of the barangay for infrastructure development using a web portal.
The we-portal focuses on the key-aspects of maturity which will aid
decision-making. The current study however, will be creating a
web-portal focused on the healthcare system which includes
different features that will allow the resident to request for
medicines as well as register for vaccinations. Dashboard would
also be included that includes the number and total cases of
COVID-19 with its analytic forecast.
(3.) Makati City Government Website [15]

The makati city government web portal contains all features offered
by the municipality. It contains emergency hotlines in different
fields of departments. It also contains the registration for vaccines of
COVID-19. The current study will be focusing on one service which
is the health information system which contains all the offered
health related programs of the barangay. It will also offer
vaccinations available and are not limited to COVID-19.
(4.) Time Series Community Healthcare Analysis [2]
This study is an application of a time series model for healthcare

analysis in a barangay. The goal time series model used is to find the
common ailments as well as common cause of death. In the current
study however, a TREND like excel function would be used to

study to align with the study from making predictive modeling using
machine learning to creating a health system information web portal
for the barangay. the scope from before the revision stated that The
study focuses on developing an official COVID-19 monitoring

A study was conducted to determine the baseline using the
aspects and factors which affect the classifications of the
e-government index. The study will also define the maturity of
stages of the e-government wherein it would serve as a tool to aid
decision-makers when it comes to designing information and
communication policies [14]. In the current study, the creation of a
web portal would be focused on the health information system for a
barangay community which will allow the barangay residents to
check and see health activities for their community.
An existing web portal for Makati City which contains all
the functions available such as transparency reports of the activities
done in their respective municipality. It also has vaccine registration

for COVID-19 [15]. The study will be making a system that will
contain not only COVID-19 available vaccines, but also the ability
to buy medicines offered by the barangay. The study will also be
creating a website for a barangay instead of a municipality level.
A study is about the creation of a time series model for
healthcare analysis in a barangay. The time series methods were
used where basic patterns were utilized for most of the time series.
A horizontal pattern was used which is the fluctuation of data over a
constant mean and the other one is the trend which is the increase or
decrease in the mean of the series over time [16]. In the study,
TREND function similar to excel would be used and applied using
PHP to determine the trend of the data to the barangay.
Research Question
How can the barangay health web portal better support the
citizens of the barangay in terms of accessing health care services?
Objectives of the Study
General Objective:
The study aims to develop a web-based barangay health
information system portal that would serve as a reference tool for
barangays to utilize as their own platform.
Specific Objectives:
● To develop a platform for barangays to utilize in
disseminating health-related programs and activities that
are available in the barangay.
● To enable the community in the barangay to view the
medicines, treatment, and therapy resources available in the
barangay.
● To implement a vaccine registration for various kinds of
health-related concerns available to the barangay such as
vaccinations for COVID-19 and flu.
● To provide a dashboard and real-time graph of the current
cases recorded of the barangay.
● To integrate analytics forecasting tool to provide an
analysis of the rise and decline of health-related cases in
each district and the whole barangay.
Scope and Delimitations
The study focuses on developing a web-based health

information system portal platform for barangays to use as a method
of dissemination of health-related activities and programs that are
available in the barangay. It provides registration for specified
vaccines accommodated by the barangay to provide the community
an easier transaction of acquiring a slot for the vaccine. The web
portal includes real-time updates regarding the health state of each
district in the barangay as well as the state of the whole barangay.
An interactive dashboard will be implemented to provide a
user-friendly way of informing the community, primarily to people
who are not that knowledgeable in technology.

The development of the study serves as a single-point

platform of specified services of the barangay. It can serve as a
reference tool for barangay officials as the utilization of a simple
forecasting analytics tool can aid them in developing efficient
decision-making in preparing for possible outcomes depending on
the analysis.
The web-based application will be developed for a specific barangay
in Tondo, Manila City since a limited time constraint of 6 months
will be allotted for the completion of the study. The chosen target
population by the study will be part of the developmental phases of
the web portal to test the efficiency and accuracy of the result. Thus,
the data used for the web portal will only contain recorded
health-related cases of that barangay. The web portal does not
indicate all vaccines for the vaccine registration feature; rather it
only provides registration for COVID-19 vaccines and flu vaccines.
The study decided to use the trend function in Microsoft Excel by
applying it in PHP as the analytics tool since it provides a simpler
interface and computation that will be understandable to the
barangay.

Review of Related Literature
Community health workers
In many low and middle-income countries, community
health workers (CHWs) are essential in the primary health care
(PHC) workforce. Although the Philippines was an early user of the
CHW model for PHC delivery, initiating the barangay health worker
(BHW) program in the early 1980s, little was known about the
variables that inspire and sustain BHWs’ primarily voluntary
commitment. By analyzing the lived experience and roles of BHWs
in both urban and rural settings in the Philippines, this study intends
to close this gap. TheBHW was interviewed, and the results were
various financial and non-financial incentives, gaining technical
knowledge and skill, improving the health and wellbeing of
community members, and increasing one’s social position were
among the motivating factors identified by interviewees for seeking
to maintain their BHW roles. Furthermore, ensuring that BHWs
have adequate support and resources to carry out their
responsibilities and the ability to participate in decisions about their
role in delivering community health services could boost
community participation the overall impact of the BHW program
[18].
Impact of sickness or diseases
Dengue is a life-threatening mosquito disease from a bite
of an infected Aedes species which can lead to severe problems if
not properly handled. Dengue is one of the problems in a barangay
in Laguna. It is a disease commonly found in poor urban, suburbs,
and the countryside which is elevated by a tropical or subtropical
country. Despite being a big problem, dengue fever is a preventable
disease by eliminating risks such as eliminating mosquito-infected

areas, having proper vaccination, and getting regular health
education. Studies show that knowledge and awareness greatly
prevent the infection of dengue [19].
According to [20], coronaviruses are a broad family of
viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more
severe diseases, such as the common cold. A novel coronavirus
(nCoV) is a new strain of coronavirus that has never been seen in
humans before. The majority of those infected with the virus will
have mild to moderate respiratory symptoms and will recover
without the need for medical attention. On the other hand, some will
fall ill and require medical attention. Severe sickness is more likely
to strike the elderly and those with underlying medical disorders
such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease,
or cancer [21]. According to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) [22], COVID-19 patients have reported a broad
spectrum of symptoms, ranging from moderate to severe sickness.
Symptoms may emerge 2-14 days after the virus has been exposed.
The symptoms for COVID19 are Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness
of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches,
Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or
runny nose, nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea.
An article stating the difference between flu from covid
where according to the data from the office of national statistics in
England, the current rate of death is 800 deaths a week and 40,000 a
year. Research published states that there are 1.8 deaths from flu per
100000 population between the year of 1999 and 2019. The
estimated death from covid was 217.54 per 100000 in the US while
207.73 per 100000 in the UK [23].
Impact of health facilities and services
The study examines the state of the public health sector in
Jomalig Island Municipality, Quezon Province, Philippines. Jomalig
Island is located on the far north-eastern part of Quezon Province
and can be reached by motorboat in 4–5 hours (or more depending
on the sea condition). The island has economic and social issues due
to its geographical disadvantage. This includes problems with
fundamental public utilities like water and electricity. The study
presents a needs assessment for public health facilities and services
in a remote Philippine municipality. This research looks at the
obstacles to achieving public health goals in a geographically
isolated and impoverished area (GIDA)[24].
Local Government Unit response on Disease Surveillance
The Philippine government created the Inter-Agency Task
Force to mitigate the ongoing pandemic crisis of COVID-19
throughout the country. The IATF is a group tasked to monitor data
based on regional reports of each city mayor. City mayors will
provide all the necessary information from its LGUs who are
responsible for the numerical data of the population, cases, and
other factors [25]. The purpose is to keep and prevent spikes of
inspections and minimize the impact on the economy [27].

Health Management System
Barangay officials oversee the decision-making process in
the barrio. The secretary is in charge of the information used by the
officials. The secretary supports the civil registrar in registering
births, deaths, sicknesses, and weddings within his jurisdiction. In
the Philippines, the barangay secretary is appointed to prepare and
administer the barangay records of birth, death, and diseases. Using
the existing way of encoding data to excel, it isn’t easy to
consolidate, organize, assess, and retrieve information, especially in
producing efficient information and decision processing. The study
designed and developed a networked decision support system
application to assist barangays in monitoring the barangay’s natality,
mortality, and morbidity rates for efficient information and decision
processing and defining the system’s acceptability end-users in
terms of functionality, usability, and performance. The device will
automatically evaluate the data in tabular, geographic formats. The
system quickly consolidates and computes natality, mortality, and
morbidity rates. The data has been organized, and the records of the
various rates have been saved in the system’s database. The built
DSS for the barangay health unit correctly meets functional
requirements for features such as maintenance of the barangay
residents profile, geographic information mapping, statistical reports
utilizing tabular and graphical data, report presentation. The system
was assessed by barangay officials/staff, such as the secretary,
collaborating with the community. The total outcome of the system
evaluation utilizing the ISO 25010 software quality standard criteria
of functionality, usability, and performance statistically indicates
that the system was fully functional, efficient, and useable and met
the users’ needs[28].
As technology progresses, advancements in the field of
medicine and health-related platforms have improved greatly from
electronic medical records to medical analytics. A system was
proposed to supplement decision support and health information
system which will use visualization and prescriptive analytics. The
information within and from the system will allow for better
decision-making while the prescriptive analytics will show a
number of results based on the data collected [24].
The Role of Web Portals in E-Government
The utilization of Information and Community
Technologies (ICT) aids government units in improving the quality
of provision and management efficiency in delivering their services
[29]. The government established e-government for governing
bodies to implement in each city, region, or country. Adapting
e-government enables the government to use technological devices
in order to provide the public with the government’s enhanced
services and operations in a more reliable, efficient, and effective
manner [30,31]. Various literature and applications were developed
on the adaptation and evolution of e-government, resulting in
diverse definitions over time [29]. The European Commission
defined the concept of e-government as an activity that is produced
Page Reflected
Manuscript
by the government’s administrations using ICTs to maximize the
efficacy of their administrative management and, as a result, their
government action. In general, e-government is defined as the
utilization of ICTs on assisting the procedures of the government,
enhancing the engagement of the citizens and the supply of the
government’s services [29,31].
The citizens are one of the driving factors of a government
to which the design of e-government projects is citizen-centric [32].
In addition, the government must increase social welfare which
results in improving individual situations within the government
such that modernizing the government’s public services and meeting
the needs of its citizens are prioritized [31]. Technology serves as a
tool used for democratic information, enabling developers to
develop a platform that enables users to interact and obtain
disclosure of information [29,31]. The development of a single point
of online access for government administrations provides one-stop
access for the citizens offering a comprehensive online collection of
local government and community-based information and services
[32]. With the growing utilization of ICT by the government,
websites are developed to meet the needs of the citizens and
enhance their public participation and democracy. Implementing
web portals in cities, regions, or the country provides a more
efficient way of delivering the services of e-government and enables
the government to have the freedom to maintain the web portal [30].
A web portal is a website that gathers various information
while offering a wide variety of services (e.g., search engine, email,
news, etc.) [30]. The utilization of web portals enables
e-government to enhance their services, increasing the government’s
transparency and democracy while permitting a high level of social
participation in decisions in the government [33]. Web portals aid
the services of e-government with their quality, reliability, security,
and functionality [1,2]. The role of Government Web Portals (GWP)
is to provide the citizens or users with up-to-date information about
the current events within the community while providing 24/7
access to the city, region, or country’s services and information
[32,34]. Furthermore, GWP implies digital governance and digital
democracy [34]. Citizens are increasingly requesting online
interactions with the government, and the government is attempting
to provide transparent resources and information in a secure manner,
providing the importance of implementing a GWP [31]. Therefore,
GWP is a key service that serves in promoting digital democracy as
well as ensuring equal access to information to all the citizens
[31,33]. GWP is accessed or utilized into three types of purpose:
information exchange, information inquiry, and transaction.
In the study conducted by Vicente and Sussy [29], local
GWP is not as developed as at the national level due to the
allocation of budget on the e-government projects to provide
high-quality service for users when utilizing the portal. Another
issue regarding developing countries is the willingness of the people
to accept such innovation, and awareness of the potential benefits of
Page Reflected
Manuscript
GWP can aid in possible acceptance. The study added that the
success of GWP is not dependent on technical factors alone; rather,
aspects such as political, demographic, and government factors are
included.
Interactive Dashboards for health information
Dissemination of information and data transparency is
crucial when health-related concerns are being tackled. With
information at our fingertips at all times, there is a continuing global
real-time need to grasp the events, developments, and government's
response to a crisis [35]. Managing optimal fatality of health-related
concerns in a population is crucial since real-time, creditable, and
fine-granular monitoring and investigation of related cases enables
policymakers and health officials to produce data-driven and
rational responses [36,37]. Disclosure of information to the public is
necessary to produce a public understanding of the dynamics
relating to the pandemic [35]. Thus, the authorities are responsible
for creating a public platform that will serve as the disclosure of
information regarding these concerns [38]. The need to conduct an
ongoing surveillance of possible outbreaks is crucial for public
health officials as lessons have been learned from past events of
how a global health concern can affect an entirety of a population
[39]. The development of reliable data-sharing platforms served as a
vital tool in providing timely dissemination and production of
related knowledge. To further provide both the public and private
sectors coordination, understanding, and transparency of data
regarding the status of health-related concerns, dashboards are made
to provide a platform for visualized disclosure of information
regarding the pandemic.
In order to promote public awareness, countries all over the
world utilized technological tools to implement an interactive
platform that will provide case information of specified geographic
locations [37,40]. The development and integration of dashboards in
a country is utilized to provide the public a visual representation of
the cases recorded on a local and global scale and aid private sectors
to produce efficient policy response and preparedness [37].
According to the study conducted by Zhao et al. [38], quantitative
methods and information are crucial during the pandemic. It
provides an analysis of the pandemic trend, which is supported and
more effectively analyzed using a dashboard. Dashboards are
usually used to display quantitative outputs and outcomes that can
be compared, and these are used to keep track of essential data
required to achieve a goal or set of goals [38]. The utilization of
websites and applications to provide data transparency integrates
dashboards to track the progress and the status of a city, region, or
country. Interactive capabilities enable users to navigate the data sets
in order to view the details and overviews of the statistics generated
by the system on their own accord [36,37]. Most dashboards are
implemented on country-level case information. On a sub-national
level, there was little centralized information available for citizens
such as having a county precision [35]. Despite individuals' and
Page Reflected
Manuscript
governments' great desire for quick access to such data, time
constraints limit the provision of a visually rich dashboard.
The idea of implementing a real-time interactive dashboard
in every country provides beneficial assistance for both the public
and private sectors. However, the development of the platform must
take certain considerations, such as the usability and utilization of
the visualizations implemented.
An interactive dashboard must be developed and
implemented from a technical and non-technical perspective [35].
The technical perspective indicates that the dashboard's goal is to
provide timely, accurate, and reliable information. While for a
nontechnical perspective, users are bound to be unfamiliar with the
meaning of certain metrics. Therefore, the granularity of
information and incorporating suitable meta information are
essential. The gathering of data in an interactive dashboard utilizes
APIs to dynamically allocate data to continuously analyze the trends
and statistics regarding the specified health-related concern
[35,36,37].
The visualizations implemented on the dashboard are
displayed on a geographical distribution or a temporal epidemic
curve [37,41]. Epidemic maps that display state-level regions
statistics and doughnut charts that provide the largest portion of
cases are utilized on the geographical distribution of current cases.
For communities and individuals to make decisions, the
geographical distribution of the COVID-19 dissemination is critical.
On the other hand, visualizations of the temporal epidemic curves
utilize trend charts to provide statistics of the confirmed, recovered,
and death cases worldwide relating to the pandemic. The user can
view it on either a logarithmic or linear scale to display daily and
cumulative new reported cases. Analytic trend chart is also a
visualization under temporal epidemic curves as it displays
simultaneous trends of active cases, providing a clearer picture of a
location's progress over time.

suggests a research project to create a mobile and online application
for remote barangay health centers. The system can update many
barangays, increasing the quality of the meeting cycle or
consultation process. In other words, the application intends to
improve patient monitoring and provide health notification
throughout the rural community to alleviate their issues. The
B-Health app can keep track of a patient’s medical history and
current ailment. Short message service customers can also receive
health announcements. The users may use the B-Health application
in the Laguna municipality because the survey yielded an excellent
percentage of the items answered.
Philippine Web Portals
Bantay Mandaue COVID-19 Web Portal [43]
Mandaue City utilizes a web portal that introduces their
city and e-Government services. The navigation bar of the website
indicates the options of what their users can visit. The navigation
bar has an option solely for “COVID Updates” that upon clicking, it
will redirect the user to another website of the municipality that
displays COVID-19 information and the status of the city regarding
the case.
The figure shows some of the features of Mandaue City’s
COVID-19 website. The site has a dashboard that provides a report
of the cases recorded in the city. They also provide a vaccination

For the database design, there would be 1 single database which will
contain 5 tables. The user table will contain the personal information
for credentials on what type of user they are. It will contain all the
personal data from name to gender and the table will contain a
password. The user_type column will differentiate what type of user
you are, a resident, a barangay admin, or a system administrator.
Next table would be about the personal data of each user. Users will
contain their own personal home page which will showcase all of
the columns in the user excluding the password which would be
replaced by the registered_activity column that will contain all the
previous and ongoing registered healthcare activity such as
vaccinations and other activity. The next table would be the

Technical Background
The study will be implementing forecast analytics with the concept
of Regression analysis which defines the relationship of two or more
variables. It defines the dependent or response variable that may be
predicted by the independent or predictor variable [52]. The study
decided to use the Trend function of Microsoft Excel to be
implemented in the programming language PHP. The Trend function
in Microsoft Excel is utilized to calculate a linear trend line by
applying the Least Squares Method (LSM) in order to spot hidden
patterns in historical and current data movements, as well as forecast
future behavior [53,54]. The LSM is a type of mathematical
regression analysis that determines the best fit line for a collection
of data, displaying the relationship between the points visually [55].
This method is used in forecasting the behavior of the dependent
variable. This will serve as the forecast analytics tool of the study as
it will provide a simply analyzed forecast of the recorded
health-related concerns that are present in the barangay. Since the
barangay is a micro-level setting, an average amount of data is only
accumulated. Therefore, the method implemented on the forecast
analytics tool is suitable for the study.
