UNAIR NEWS –听The high maternal mortality rate in Indonesia due to听pre-eclampsia, which is 359 cases per 100,000 pregnancies, is still very alarming.听This is the second leading cause of maternal death.听To help reducing the mortality rate, of 51动漫 succeeded in making mobile-based app.听With this android-based app early detection of听pre-eclampsia is accessible and easily detected.
The five听UNAIR听听 innovating through Invention Student Creativity Program (PKM-KC) are Shervil Kagayaita Sayko, Rida Mahrani Harahap, Sita Aulia, Editia Yuniawati (from FK Midwifery program) and Mardhatilah Syauqina Putri (Faculty of Nursing).
Pre听撎齟clampsia is a syndrome characterized by an increased blood pressure and听proteinuria happens in the second trimester of pregnancy.听Although it recovers in the postnatal period,听pre-eclampsia听pregnancies are classified as high-risk pregnancies as a result of complications if听pre听–听eclampsia听symptoms are听not treated.听For example the presence of disorders of the cardiovascular system, premature birth, seizures, until the death of the fetus and mother.
According to Shervil Kagayaita Sayko, the mobile application was chosen because Indonesia is one of the countries with听a large听smartphone听users听, and users are equally distributed from all ages and economic status.听In addition, android-based apps are the most popular because it is听辞辫别苍-蝉辞耻谤肠别听,听accessible and open to development.
Another reason of choosing mobile application, after studying 30 articles and journals, it is known what are the biggest risk and causing factors of听pre-eclampsia.听Risk factors were then questioned in the first screening.听Then scoring determination and and the design of application content was followed by the process of the application development.
Described by Shervil, after the application is made her team did the process of听web service and web application development.听Then there was obstetricians and gynecologists expertise test so the application is capable of diagnosing.听The language in the app was also refined by a linguist and by technology experts for the worthiness of the app to be published.
“After all the expertise tests are completed, we register this application to PE-Detector Hosting Domain and then听launch听it to Play store,” explained Shervil.
From experiments, it is known that this application helps pregnant women to recognize the symptoms and signs of听pre-eclampsia听constructed through subjective data and objective data.听Subjective data includes pregnancy characteristics that can be directly filled in by the pregnant woman itself.听Such as age, education, parity (frequency pregnancy), adherence to pregnancy visit, medical history and hypertension to anemia factor that can aggravate the risk of complications due pre-eclampsia.
Shervil explained that the objective data was obtained from听Body Mass Index听calculation听, Roll-Over Tests听and听Mean Arterial Pressure听through examination by health personnel.听This data will then be calculated and categorized into a risk value.听Risk value will help the medical personnel as early detection from the beginning to provide the necessary intervention so it will not be听pre听–听eclampsia听or even听eclampsia.
“We really hope with this application can help pregnant women and health workers to recognize the risk of听pre-eclampsia听early on, so it can reduce the incidence of听pre-eclampsia and minimize the risk of pregnancy complications later in life, which will make Indonesia free pre-eclampsia, ” said Shervil Kagayaita Sayko.听(*)
