UNAIR NEWS Students from (UNAIR), affiliated with the Society of Renewable Energy (SRE UNAIR), recently conducted a community outreach initiative in Nampu Village, Gemarang Subdistrict, Madiun Regency. The effort aimed to raise public awareness about the importance of early disease detection through the use of simple, user-friendly technology.
As part of the program, the SRE UNAIR team introduced a health innovation called SAINT (Smart Monitoring Health System). SAINT is a sensor-based device designed to allow individuals to monitor their own vital signs. The tool is capable of measuring blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation (SpO鈧), and Body Mass Index (BMI). With this technology, community members can better understand their health risks early on攚hether due to values that are abnormally high or low.
Advancing SDG 3: Good health and well-being
The SAINT system was developed by student researchers with funding from UNAIR檚 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Center. It is currently being refined for broader and long-term community application. This innovation also represents a direct contribution to SDG Goal 3: Good health and well-being.
淲ith this project, we aim to show that even simple technologies can make a significant difference攅specially in improving healthcare access in rural areas, said a member of the SRE UNAIR team.

UNAIR, through its SDGs Center, continues to encourage student-driven, technology-based solutions that bring measurable benefits to society. With the introduction of SAINT, the team hopes the tool can be expanded to benefit more rural communities across Indonesia.
