ABSTRACT

Hypothermia is a condition of extreme loss of body temperature in infants and can increase mortality or morbidity in infants. Hypothermia, a condition where body temperature drops below normal limits, is a serious issue commonly found in newborns. This condition is particularly frequent in babies born prematurely or with low birth weight. This study aims to implement a smart infant warmer to decrease the case of hypothermia and to help the community service partner to care the patients. The method of this study applied to giving a prototype of a smart infant warmer with some steps, such as observation and problem identification, training and mentoring, grant, evaluation and monitoring, Device and Implementation. The implementer noticed this problem at Klinik Pratama Hidayah. The result of this study can increase a quality of the healthcare services at the clinic that it also had enhanced a profit of the healthcare services from patients. The clinic had experienced a revenue around IDR 525,000 after the implemented smart infant warmer. In addition, the implementer carried out community service to conduct training and mentoring of the tool for the clinic. This tool has a novelty to facilitate health workers in monitoring patients remotely through devices. This tool is also embedded with a telemedicine system to monitor the patient's body temperature and heart rate in real-time. This prototype device has been implemented in the clinic and improved the level of service quality for newborn care. Furthermore, the device has a limitation in that the implementation is dependent on the internet connection at the clinic.
