Abstract: Deficiency of
vitamin and mineral as part of micronutrient deficiency may lower human
productivity. In general, lack of public understanding about micronutrient,
limited number of nutritionist, time and cost, became the reason for people
reluctant to meet nutritionist. The use of web-based computer application can
be implemented to overcome the difficulty to get nutritionist’s services. Using
the application, user can detect and check their micronutrient condition
independently. User can submit their physical condition by answering questions
from the application. Using forward chaining inference, data from user will be
proceed using certainty factor method. The application’s output are the
possible type of micronutrient’s deficiency and the weight that shown the level
of confidence of the result. The evaluation process shown that the application
functioning properly in line with the expectation. Beside helping people to
make early detection independenly, the presence of the application is also
expected to increase public awareness about the importance of micronutrient in
