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.
Each country has specific values as the country's identity, which generally lay in the basic description of the country's historical background, socio-cultural conditions, and shared values and dreams. In Indonesia, the values of state identity are inside the Five Fundamental Principles known as Pancasila. As a multicultural country, the contribution of the excellent character of the ethnic groups in Indonesia must strengthen and enrich the values of national identity. However, the power of ethnicity to support the nation's collective values is rarely explored due to the fear of interethnic competition that can lead to feuds. Even the views that ethnicity is an obstacle to unity. This qualitative study focuses on identifying the excellent ethnic characters and the linking to support the values of the Five Fundamental Principles. Literature studies and interviews are used to obtain data and information on 13 tribes' excellence characters from purposively selected participants. The study found ten generic characters, namely: Religious, Honest, Courageous, Sincere, Faithful, Migrant, Collaborative, Firm, Resilient, Friendly. These characters represent the identity of the country's national values. Bearing in mind that a multicultural society has unique strengths in its superior character, the state needs to implement a strategy that will provide a platform for people to respect each other.
At present, the level of public action in conducting routine health checks tends to be lacking. Based on the results of the Kompas Research and Development poll in October 2016, almost 97% of respondents in Indonesia felt that routine health checks were beneficial. However, only one in three respondents routinely have a comprehensive health check; most of the other respondents are reluctant to have medical tests because of the high costs and lack of time to go to the hospital. Moreover, they feel that they are still healthy; therefore, comprehensive health checks seem unnecessary to them. Checking the health of an individual here refers to two important aspects of health, namely, physical health and mental health. The medical devices that are generally used to measure these two aspects of health are still separate, so that they are considered less effective than they might be otherwise. Physical health in a person can be measured through basic parameters of normal values of vital signs. Changes in vital signs have a very important value for the monitoring of bodily functions because these changes have meaning as an
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.
