Rancangan Aplikasi Perawatan di Rumah bagi Pasien Penyakit Parkinson RSUDZA

Abstract

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects approximately 1% of the global population. Symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability can reduce patients' quality of life. Given that this disease requires long-term and continuous treatment, optimal care management is essential to maintain quality of life and minimize disability rates. However, many PD patients face challenges in getting adequate care at home, especially due to limited mobility and access to health facilities. Digital technology can be utilized to create a mobile application that can facilitate the monitoring of Parkinson’s Disease patients while undergoing treatment at home. The purpose of this study is to design a home care application for PD patients that can provide a more personalized approach to manage patients’ conditions, such as symptom monitoring, medication reminders, and routine check-up schedule reminders. The application development in this study was carried out in May-July 2024 which consisted of 3 stages : the data design stage, the system design stage, and the expert-system testing stage. The results of symptom monitoring, medication schedules and routine patient check-ups obtained through this application will be connected to the RSUD ZA dashboard monitoring system so that the data can also be accessed by medical professionals at RSUD ZA. Thus, this application is expected to create an integrated care ecosystem, involving patients, families, and medical personnel to work together more effectively.
