Typhoid fever is an infectious disease that causes death in Indonesia. This endemic disease has a high incidence rate and is a health problem related to the environment and sanitation. Problems due to limited time to consult directly with specialist doctors, it is not easy to consult with doctors at any time, and limited medical knowledge and experience, so it is difficult for the community to know and make an early diagnosis of the disease with symptoms of typhoid fever. This study created an Android-based application using a fuzzy logic algorithm for diagnosing typhoid fever. The application was built by adopting expert knowledge related to general and clinical symptoms that are often experienced by patients with typhoid fever, and data on the level of typhoid disease. Data collection was carried out through direct observation at the hospital and direct interviews with doctors. The data was processed to produce output in the form of diagnostic results and solution data recommended by the system. The application consists of 3 user levels, namely Admin who can process user data, Users who can diagnose their disease by inputting answers to questions in the application, and Experts who can process symptom data, disease level, and solution data. The research results are in the form of an application that can be used anytime as an alternative consultant that helps the community in diagnosing typhoid fever with output in the form of diagnostic results (negative typhoid, positive typhoid, or strong positive typhoid).
Barrang Caddi Island is one of the islands located in Barrang Caddi Village, Sangkarang Islands District, Makassar City. The Barrang Caddi Village Office as a public service provider has various types of services to the community, including issuing recommendation letters and certificates. Barrang Caddi Village Office staffs were required to provide effective and efficient services to the community, hence village officials must always improve their knowledge and skills, including increasing information technology literacy. Utilization of information technology in supporting public services within the Barrang Caddi Village environment requires the ability of Human Resources to use this information technology. In response to this, the Dipa Makassar University Lecturer team carried out community service activities addressed to the Barrang Caddi Village officers with a counseling approach in the form of training in the use of office applications, namely Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and the internet.
