However this type of measurement is not attractive, time consuming, boring, and making the psychological disorders even worse. This research aims to develop a mobile, fast response, and interactive measurement tool of psychological disorders, in android based smart phones. Waterfall method which consists of system analysis, design, implementation, and testing is chosen to develop this application software. The measurement is based on the DASS-21 calculation scale to define the level of depression, anxiety, and stress. Black-box testing shows that the developed application software runs as expected. Validation result of the psychological disorder level which was examined by comparing it to the result from the test data demonstrates high accuracy.
