SEMBADA M-HEALTH: APLIKASI ANDROID POSBINDU PTM (PENYAKIT TIDAK MENULAR)

Abstrak Latar Belakang Penyakit tidak menular dapat dicegah melalui deteksi dini di Posbindu PTM. Sembada m-Health merupakan aplikasi berbasis android untuk mendukung kegiatan Posbindu PTM. Tujuan Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang aplikasi Sembada m-Health yang usable. Metode Research and Development dilakukan berdasarkan teori Four D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Tahap define bertujuan untuk menggali kebutuhan stake holder terhadap pengembangan aplikasi secara FGD. Tahap design merupakan aktivitas merancang aplikasi oleh ahli programmer IT, sedangkan develop merupakan tahap multi-testing oleh ahli materi (2 orang), ahli media (2 orang) dan user (30 orang). Tes pada ahli media dan materi dilakukan dengan kuesioner terstruktur, sedangkan uji pada user menggunakan PSSUQ. Tahap disseminate merupakan upaya mensosialisasi Sembada m-Health sekaligus evaluasi aplikasi secara kualitatif. Data dianalisis dengan cara membandingkan nilai hasil dengan cut off dengan batas kelayakan aspek media dan materi masing ≥4,20 dan PSSUQ ≤2,82. Penelitian dilakukan di Yogyakarta pada bulan Oktober 2021-April 2022. Hasil Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa nilai media dan materi masing masing 4,62 dan 4,23, sedangkan skor PSSUQ 1,71. Stake holder sangat puas dengan sistem kerja Sembada m-health, dapat digunakan untuk surveilans individu maupun program, aplikasi memberi fasilitas history faktor risiko PTM serta menyediakan rekomendasi yang sesuai dengan masing-masing status kesehatan user. Kesimpulan Disimpulkan bahwa aplikasi android Sembada m-Health sangat layak untuk menunjang program Posbindu PTM. Kata kunci usability, Posbindu PTM , android, 4D, PSSU

A review of the current trends and future directions of camera barcode reading

Modern mobile phones or smartphones have become a pervasive and affordable device for users at different levels of age around the world. Smartphones equipped with many useful sensors, including camera, barometer, accelerometer, and digital compass. The sensors on smartphones attracted researchers and developers to develop mobile applications (apps) and study the potential use of the sensors to support daily life activities. Unlike other types of sensor, the smartphone camera has been underutilized. Analysis of the literature suggested that smartphone camera mainly serves for personal and social photography. Practically, a smartphone camera can be used as an imaging device for reading a barcode. Although barcode has been used for identifying products and items, the use of a smartphone camera as a reading device has not been explored thoroughly. Further, scholarly resources describing the fundamental knowledge of smartphone camera barcode reading is not available in the literature which could be the reason contributed to slow research progress of the domain. Therefore, this study aims to review the current trends and future directions of smartphone camera for barcode reading. Specifically, the study reviews the literature on the types of applications that are currently available and run on the standard mobile platform for reading a barcode. It also analyzes the necessary components that made up barcode reading apps. Further, the review identifies technical and non-technical issues that are critical for the development of the apps. The contributions of this work are twofold, first, it provides the fundamental knowledge on the building blocks of camera barcode reading apps, and second, it explores the issues in the current camera barcode reading apps that could encourage exploration towards addressing the issues. Practically, the findings could spark new research ideas to address the current issues related to the use of smartphone camera for barcode reading in the near future

Sex Ed to Go- An Analysis of Comprehensive Sexual Education Mobile Phone Applications

The United States has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates among developed countries and the numbers of STIs have increased during the last few years. Mobile phone applications constitute a promising platform to disseminate sexual health information and to reduce adverse health outcomes, particularly among teens. In order to be effective, apps have to follow a comprehensive approach to sexuality education, include concepts of behavior change theories, and adhere to health literacy principles. This study used a mixed-methods approach consisting of a quantitative content analysis and qualitative thematic analysis to assess the quality of sexual education apps available to users on the iOS and Android app market. The results show that there is a dearth of health literate, evidence- and theory-based sexual education apps available to teenagers in the United States. The focus remained on the negative consequences of sex and their prevention, while other topics such as identity or personal safety were hardly addressed. Interactive features were used in only 40% of apps. Furthermore, content was female-oriented and reinforced negative stereotypes and perceived norms that may have a negative impact on the sexual health of teens. These findings suggest that the potential of apps has not yet been fully realized in the context of sexual health promotion. This thesis provides suggestions and guidelines for individuals interested in developing theory-and evidence-based sexual education apps
