Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) continues demonstrating its commitment to enhancing healthcare facilities through technological innovations. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Engineering, UGM Faculty of Engineering (DTETI FT UGM), has successfully developed two innovative products.
The products are an integrated measurement tool designed for children’s clinics and an AI-powered information technology system to improve hospital management efficiency, including registration systems and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
These products are the results of research conducted by Rahmat Widadi and Dr. Syukron Abu Ishaq Alfarozi as part of a DTETI and UGM Academic Hospital (RSA UGM) collaboration.
“The integrated measurement tool combines functions such as weighing, temperature measurement, and height measurement using a microcontroller with a child-friendly design,” said Widadi on Wednesday, Mar. 12, 2025.
He explained that this system speeds up the examination process and provides a more informative and user-friendly queue system.
The tool’s development also considers ergonomic and comfort aspects for children, making the examination process more enjoyable and stress-free.
Widadi hopes this innovation can serve as a model for developing healthcare technology in other medical facilities, particularly in children’s healthcare services.
Regarding the registration and CRM system, AI algorithms are expected to offer recommendations, assess medical urgency, and prioritize services based on patient health records.
Dr. Alfarozi, who developed the system with 14 doctoral students from DTETI’s Electrical Engineering Program, said, “This system aims to facilitate a more modern and efficient pre-registration process and optimize patient interaction management.”
He hopes that the innovative tools handed over to RSA UGM on Dec. 5, 2024, will accelerate administrative processes, improve patient satisfaction, and enhance the quality of healthcare services at RSA UGM.
The system’s data can be directly integrated into electronic medical records, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of patient health.
“We hope other hospitals can adopt this system to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services in addressing the operational challenges faced by management,” he concluded.
