Jamoetics: A Web-Based Information System for Indonesian Herbal Database
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a web-based information system for herbal plants in Indonesia. This research began with data collection, prototype making, and evaluation. This research was conducted by combining a literature review, simulation, and survey. Literature reviews were used to gather scientific information about various herbal medicines. The website was hosted on a platform-as-a-service cloud service. The web is accessible at https://www.jamoetics.com. All data from the questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The data on this website were obtained from various sources grouped into monographs, public databases, and scientific journals. The “Jamoetics” system evaluation survey showed that 98.25% of respondents felt confident and interested in using the “Jamoetics” website because of its ease of access to information, completeness of information, and user-friendly interface. Jamoetics, a web-based information system, can help communities easily access information about herbal plants in Indonesia.
