| Summary: | Diabetes is a very common disease involving old and young people in Malaysia. Using herbs as
a method of altemative medicine has been practiced for centuries and proven to cure diabetic
patients. However, there is no proper website promoting it so that people are more exposed and
convinced. As for the existing herbal products in market, there are too many brands to choose
from thus making people feel uneasy to use herbs as a way to cure this disease. This project
focuses on developing a website that promotes ffusted research on herbs as well as an add on
web applioation for users to choose the correct herbal medicine in the market. The aim of this
project is to expose and convince people especially to those who are diabetic towards herbs as an
alternative and effective way of medication. The second aim is to help people spetrd on the right
herbs product that will give satisfied outcome. This project is motivated because alternative
medicine is still not widely used even though the rate of healing is high compared to modern
medicine that only slows down the effect of diabetes. In order to do so, building and interactive
yet effective and user friendly website is essential to achieve the aim for this project. The website
is developed based on respondents' preferences that is collected from the surveys and interviews
that have been conducted. Adding to that, the development of the website is focusing on Human
Computer Interaction (HCI) for the website's design and architecture. The website's
effectiveness will be based on user's responses and will be improved from time to time. |
