RANCANG BANGUN ALAT PELACAK PASIEN ISOLASI MANDIRI COVID-19 DENGAN SISTEM KOMUNIKASI LORA SEBAGAI PENGEMBANGAN BAHAN AJAR DI LABORATORIUM INSTRUMENTASI

Abstract

The Lora Communication System's Covid-19 Self-Isolating Patient Tracking Tool intends to make tracking of persons exposed to Covid 19 who are undergoing self-isolation easier so they don't leave the specified region. Self-isolation is one of the key strategies used by the Indonesian government to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus. However, there have been multiple reports of Covid-19 positive patients sneaking out of the quarantine area. Furthermore, the number of cops available to do 3T (Tracing, Testing, and Treatment) is woefully inadequate. In light of this, a technology was developed in this study to follow COVID-19 self-isolated patients so that officers do not have to oversee them directly. This tool is built with AcSIP S76G, which includes STM32, LoRa, and GPS. Setting coordinate points in the chosen area allows for the determination of the isolation area's borders. The results of the tests demonstrate that the equipment can track the patient's whereabouts using an Android app. The device will vibrate and transmit a notification to the officer via the android application when the patient leaves the boundary of the self-isolation region that the officer has determined. The panic button on this device is meant to send emergency messages to cops if the patient is in distress. The LoRa range that was successfully measured was roughly 5.5 km in radius, with a measurement error of 6.772 meters on average.
