Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-parameter malnutrition screening tool (MPMST), a portable and integrated device designed for rapid and automated assessment of malnutrition in children aged 0–59 months. The device combines anthropometric measurements and clinical indicators, including MUAC, weight, edema detection, and appetite response, into a single system. An embedded algorithm processes the collected data and provides an immediate classification of nutritional status through visual and audio outputs. The invention eliminates manual interpretation, reduces screening time, minimizes human error, and enhances diagnostic accuracy, making it particularly suitable for use in community and resource-limited settings.
