Acute malnutrition affects 3.1% of children under five years of age in Amazonian communities in Peru, where limited access to health services constrains timely nutritional assessment. In this context, this study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate NutriRadar, a mobile application for automated childhood nutritional classification based on the anthropometric standards of the World Health Organization (WHO). The application was developed using a waterfall software development methodology and implements the calculation of the Weight-for-Height Z-score (WHZ) from basic anthropometric variables (weight, height, age, and sex). NutriRadar was designed with offline functionality, deferred data synchronization, and compatibility with low-end mobile devices to support operational use in Amazonian settings. Field validation was conducted in two early childhood education institutions in Puerto Maldonado, Peru, and included anthropometric assessments of 75 children aged 3–4 years. The application demonstrated stable offline operation, response times suitable for clinical practice, and nutritional classification results equivalent to the WHO Anthro reference tool. NutriRadar represents a viable and reproducible digital automation solution for the operational application of a deterministic WHO anthropometric protocol, contributing to the reduction of operational errors and strengthening standardized nutritional assessment in resource-limited Amazonian contexts.
