The Development of a Web Application for Tracking Medical Cannabis Products

Abstract

This research aims to develop a web application for tracking medical cannabis product information, designed and developed according to the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process. The study was conducted in the province of Buriram, Thailand, and the sample group was selected through purposive sampling, consisting of 30 individuals from Play La Ploen Community Enterprise, representing cannabis cultivators and medical cannabis product processors. Data was collected through in-depth interviews to gather database design and system development requirements. The tools used for system development were PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Visual Studio Code, and XAMPP, with MySQL used as the database management system. The effectiveness of the information system was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire developed based on the PIECES framework. The research findings indicate that the medical cannabis product tracking system is functional, as users are able to scan the QR code on the packaging to obtain comprehensive and complete information about the product.
