Therefore, this study aims to design a health information service online by using WhatsApp to prevent toddler stunting in the rural community. This study was action research in which </em><em>a </em><em>co-design methodology was used to design the health information service. This study involved </em><em>the </em><em>health front, </em><em>midwifery</em><em>, nutritionist, and village apparatus in which they were interviewed and followed focus group discussion (FGD). In addition, </em><em>the </em><em>USE questionnaire was used to measure the effectiveness of </em><em>the </em><em>health information service that had been designed. The results of </em><em>the </em><em>interview and FGD showed that rural people knew more </em><em>about </em><em>the use of WhatsApp than other online communication platforms. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there </em><em>were</em> <em>a </em><em>number of health programs that would be stopped. As a consequence, online interactive health information service was extremely needed to promote the sustainability of health programs in the rural community. Furthermore, the results of </em><em>the </em><em>USE questionnaire showed the average percentage of usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction of the online health information service was 85,43%. This indicates that </em><em>the </em><em>hotline stunting program (INSTING), an online health information service, is extremely eligible to be applied in the rural community in conducting communication regarding health information during the COVID-19 pandemic. </em></p> ER -
