The satwika lifestyle refers to the understanding that the physical body should be maintained through wise thoughts and behavior in determining what is good and bad for the body so that it is always in a fit and fit state. Technology affects the lifestyle of modern society. Practical lifestyles are not necessarily balanced with health awareness. Fast food variations and online food delivery services are practical choices even though they do not meet nutritional standards that can affect health quality. Body Mass Index (BMI) can be an indicator of health, so it can guide a person to control the food consumed. This study innovates the development of a manual BMI measurement tool at STMIK STIKOM Indonesia into a BMI measurement tool that can be accessed online with a concept called IoT (Internet Of Things). The design of the IoT Based BMI Measurement Tool at STMIK STIKOM Indonesia is expected to help lecturers, staff, and students at STMIK STIKOM Indonesia to be able to check their BMI regularly so that they can optimize the satwika lifestyle. The data of this research were obtained by conducting observation, e-questionnaire, and interview methods and then elaborated with qualitative descriptive to describe that the BMI measuring instrument can function and assist the academic community of STMIK STIKOM Indonesia in maintaining a satwika lifestyle.
