In this research, a prototype of NFC and IoT-enabled medical measurement device aimed for infants between 0-5 years old is designed. The device is aimed to record data and transmit them to NFC tags on a greater system containing electronic medical record of Indonesian children, which is normally recorded in a paper card named Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). The device can measure five parameters: height, weight, temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen (SpO2). The result is passed to a sensor fusion system to determine health status of the child, after which the data is transmitted to mobile KMS application owned by child’s guardian and health personnel. The system is tested on 12 infants of 12 months and below in two Indonesia’s community health centre Posyandu units. Based on the result, the system is able to measure five parameters at once and transmit it to the health personnel and child’s guardian, making it feasible to develop the prototype further into a fully functional medical device for use with electronic KMS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
