Resumen
La anemia infantil en Perú, que impacta a una significativa proporción de niños menores de
tres años, representa un grave problema social que impacta negativamente en su desarrollo
cognitivo y físico. Para abordar esta problemática, se propone QASAWI App, una
herramienta móvil que ofrece información nutricional, recetas saludables y recordatorios
médicos, contribuyendo al cuidado y prevención de la anemia.
La validación del proyecto se realizó mediante la realización de cuestionarios y
evaluaciones de usabilidad, logrando una satisfacción del 85.7% de los usuarios en cuanto a
la facilidad de uso y una alta disposición para emplear la app. En términos financieros, la
propuesta es viable, con una inversión inicial de USD 40,000 que genera un Valor Presente
Neto (VPN) de USD 930,247 y una Rentabilidad Interna (TIR) del 239%. Estos indicadores
indican que esta iniciativa no solo es lucrativa, sino que adicionalmente tiene un bajo riesgo
de pérdidas, con una probabilidad de solo 8.66% de obtener un VPN menor a USD 200,000.
El impacto esperado de QASAWI App es significativo, tanto financiero como social.
Se estima que los beneficios acumulados superarán el costo social, generando un Valor actual
neto social de USD 1,081,988 en cinco años. La APP no solo mejorará la salud de los niños,
sino que también fomentará la educación de los padres sobre nutrición, disminuyendo las
disparidades en la posibilidad de acceder a la información y a las prestaciones de salud en
comunidades vulnerables, como las que se encuentran en el Distrito de Manchay.
Childhood anemia in Peru, affecting a significant percentage of children under 36 months, represents a serious social problem that negatively impacts their cognitive and physical development. To address this issue, QASAWI App is proposed as a mobile tool that offers nutritional information, healthy recipes, and medical reminders, thereby facilitating the prevention and treatment of anemia. The project's validation was conducted through surveys and usability tests, achieving an 85.7% user satisfaction rate regarding ease of use and a high willingness to utilize the app. Financially, the proposal is viable, with an initial investment of USD 40,000 generating a Net Present Value (NPV) of USD 930,247 and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 239%. These indicators suggest that the project is not only profitable but also presents a low risk of loss, with only an 8.66% probability of obtaining an NPV lower than USD 200,000. The expected impact of QASAWI App is significant, both financially and socially. It is estimated that the accumulated benefits will exceed social expenses, generating a social NPV of USD 1,081,988 over five years. The application will not only improve child health but also promote parental education on nutrition, reducing inequalities in access to information and health services in vulnerable communities such as Manchay District.
