About The Project

Herbacare is a mobile application designed to digitize Traditional-Complementary Alternative Medicine (TCAM) in Indonesia. The platform integrates educational resources, consultation-reservation services, and marketing of herbal products, aiming to preserve and promote the use of traditional medicine in the digital age. The application leverages deep learning technologies like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to provide detailed information on herbal plants through image scanning.

• Support Healthcare Practitioners: Provide a marketplace for traditional healthcare specialists and herbal product businesses to offer their services and products.
• Ease of Access for Users: Facilitate the public in accessing safe TCAM and herbal treatments from verified practitioners and products certified by the Indonesian Ministry of Health and BPOM.
