This research aimed to study the effects of preparation for Thai massage skills before practicing cooperative education of health and spa science students. The research was divided into two stages: 1) Student preparation stage: 4 students enrolled in the cooperative education preparation course, and the students passed both theoretical and practical assessments. 2) Thai massage service stage in a simulated spa business: 36 volunteers passed the inclusion criteria. Students provided Thai massage, foot massage, and therapeutic massage for volunteers. It found that the students were able to reduce the pain of volunteers after treatment significantly in all three groups compared to before treatment, and compared with a mean reduction in pain in all three groups with no difference. The satisfaction of Thai massage services found that the volunteers were most satisfied, which supported that the students had Thai massage skills and service skills. A study of the relationship between personal factors and the level of satisfaction found that there was no relationship. Therefore, preparation in theory and practice in real situations can improve Thai massage skills and build confidence before going out to work in the workplace.

Currently, cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Thailand, particularly coronary artery diseases or heart blockages. Major risk factors include unhealthy dietary habits, insufficient physical activity, stress, and genetic predisposition, all of which negatively affect heart health. One of the most effective ways to reduce the risk and prevent fatalities from cardiovascular diseases is electrocardiogram (ECG) screening. An ECG can help detect heart abnormalities at an early stage, allowing for the prevention of severe conditions and a reduction in mortality rates. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in diagnosing other heart diseases, enabling timely medical intervention and treatment. This research focuses on ECG screening using a single-board computer. The ECG signals are recorded through the data acquisition module, and the data is converted from analog to digital. The processing unit displays the signals in real-time through a GUI screen. It also shows some information that is useful for preliminary ECG signal analysis. The main advantage of this system is that it is affordable technology that incorporates modern technology, capable of detecting and recording ECG results without the need for an expensive ECG machine.
