Integrated Blood Type Detector with IoT System to Improve Indonesian Red-Cross Public Health Services
Abstract
In 2008, asurvey held by the World Health Organization shows that the blood stock in Indonesia is 0.2% of the total population, which is lower than the minimum requirement for health services (2,5% of the total population) because of the low quality of donor equipmentand incompetent workers. In addition, the current regulation on blood availability monitoring seems a rather complex and challengingprocess. This study aimsto create an integrated device thatcantest the blood type and serves as a database of bloodstockin several IRCsto accelerate the distribution of blood between IRC and hospital. This research utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) using a Wi-Fimodule to create a device thatcould send data to computers using the internet. Through an experiment of 85 respondents, results showed that the accuracy of the device in detecting blood type is 96.5%. The time taken for the data to be received by the computer varies with the internet network used. The fastest data transfer was acceptedusing a 4G network, which requires only 1.9 seconds. Meanwhile, the 3G and 2G networkstook around 3.17 and 18.17 seconds,respectively
