This study employs visual ethnography, particularly filmmaking, to investigate the affective dimensions of digital stunting prevention programs in Padang, Semarang, and Ruteng. While digital tools aim to streamline stunting interventions, the technical work of data collection often creates emotional and sensory challenges for health workers and families. These affective experiences—ranging from exhaustion and frustration to fleeting moments of connection—remain underexplored in public health narratives centered on digital efficiency. The film captures the embodied realities of these actors, focusing on the repetitive tasks, relational dynamics, and unforeseen emotional impacts of working with digital tools. Findings highlight how the digitalization of stunting prevention creates a disjointed world, where technical processes often overshadow the lived complexities of those involved. By foregrounding these experiences, this study sheds light on the human cost of digital health interventions and their unintended socio-emotional consequences.
