The development of technology is very massive and affects various domains of human life. This also affects the health sector. Health technology also experiences very rapid development. Because this is needed multidisciplinary science to face the challenges of technological disruption in the era of the Industry Revolution 4.0.
This challenge was answered by lecturers and at the same time researcher Ekha Rifki Fauzi, SKM, MPH, with Solikhah, Dr.PH. and Angger Maharesi, Amd.em. & nbsp; They have conducted research in the field of health technology, especially therapeutic equipment, namely Smart Phototherapy Device.
The research, has been proposed and received funding from the Muhammadiyah Research and Development Higher Education in 2022 and also funded from the Ministry of Education and Culture’s DRTPM in 2023 for the development of TKT 4 to TKT 5. Surely the results of this study are also the process of simple patent requests and the output of Q2 index articles on Scopus .
The first funding from the Muhammadiyah Dikti Research and Development, researchers made a phototherapy with IoT technology (Internet of Things) to monitor the dose level of blue light therapy to patients. Where the research is still occupying the 4th TKT developed.
Whereas in funding from the Ministry of Education and Culture DTPM in the 2023 prototype fee assistance program, researchers will develop phototherapy to be safer than patient medical records and telemedicine. This development will later be embedded data loggers and cameras to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of blue light therapy in hyperbilirubinemia patients in newborns.
This collaboration will lead to downstreaming the results of research supported by each institution, both from the University of PGRI Yogyakarta, Ahmad Dahlan University, and Prambanan Regional Hospital. Of course this collaboration is one of the answers from academics and practitioners answering the domestic health technology resilience and independence program.
