\textbf{Respondents}  \newline  The respondents helped the proponent by testing the software and evaluating it. The sampling method used was the Purposive sampling, in which it would target a particular group of people. The researcher gathered 5 respondents who were pediatricians to test the functionality and the acceptability of the software.   \textbf{Materials}  \newline  Purposive sampling was used in determining the evaluator of the developed system. The software would be further validated by at least 5 pediatricians if the output results were correct and/or reliable.  Upon tallying the results, the average was computed using the weighted mean approach. This statistical treatment of data combines individual records and computes for the average of the grouped data (Zulueta & Costales, 2006). This method was applied of treating the gathered data on every survey that was conducted during the evaluation of the system. In order to get the weighted mean, the frequency of the weight (the respondents) was multiplied with the weight (points of the survey). The product was then added repeatedly depending on the total number of respondents. In this case, the total number of respondents was composed of five (5) specialists. The total sum was then divided by the summation of frequencies. It would be used for the computation of the system’s score on its evaluation categories from the respondents.
