INTOC is an international competition held via Zoom Meeting and attended by delegations from more than 30 countries. The students came up with Medication: Application-based Health and Tourism Service Package to Restore the Indonesian Tourism Sector to Realize SDGs 2030.
In an interview with UNAIR NEWS, Syadilla said that the idea originated from many people infected with COVID-19. Moreover, she continued, the patient also suffered from other comorbidities that required them to undergo a recovery period in the hospital. Hence, the idea to launch Medication application rose.
淲e created Medication to speed up the patient檚 healing process, she said.
Furthermore, Syadilla stated that the application offers custom packages to provide convenience and flexibility for the users to use the available health features. The application provides several excellent features, such as COVID-19 Suspect, Drugs Rehabilitation, Woman Care, Telehealth, Alarm Check-up, Your Insurance, and Budgeting and Financial.
Upon receiving the achievement, Syadilla and her team hope to keep making more ideas to help solve problems in the community.
淐ompetition is more than just receiving prize or medal. It檚 rather a process and the way to help people in general through what we create, she said.
