Abstract :
Elderly is a period depict by limited movement function in the body. These
limitations are marked by a decrease in intellectual and physical abilities such as
the emergence of indications of disease that begin to interfere with activities in the
elderly. This causes the elderly to tend to depend on others such as asking for help
from others in carrying out their activities, including taking medication. Elderly
with multiple comorbidities have a higher risk of non-adherence because receiving
more than one type of drug is more prone to miss treatment hours. Therefore, the
elderly need reminders and a place to store drugs to maintain drug quality. Drugs
must maintain air quality, temperature and humidity to reduce and prevent the risk
of drug degradation that can damage drug quality and safety. Therefore, this study
designed a system to make it easier for the elderly as a reminder of the treatment
schedule as well as a drug storage area that can maintain drug quality by
monitoring the temperature and humidity quality of the Medical box through
Thingspeak . The quality of the Medical box adapts ISO 17025 to measure the
standardization of quality assurance in the system used because medical devices
require measurement standards to maintain the quality of the equipment. The
results show that the system can work properly according to the command with an
alarm notification on the cellphone when the clock shows the time to take medicine,
based on the DHT 22 sensor test which is accurate in measuring temperature and
humidity with ISO 17025 standards, measurement quality test with a bias value of
0.318% and 99.7% truth value, Medical box equipment acceptance limit with 83%
precision. Based on the network QoS test according to THIPON, the network
quality is categorized as very good for throughput 5241 Kbps, packet loss 0%, delay
136.5 ms in the very good category because the standard value is <150 ms while
the Jitter value of 21.28 is in the good category.
