A Development of Hospital Notification Systems Using Internet of Things Technology

Abstract

          This research aims to 1) develop a hospital notification system using Internet of Things technology, 2) evaluate the effectiveness of hospital notification systems using Internet of Things technology, and 3) Study satisfaction with hospital notification systems using Internet of Things technology. The sample group included 10 experts and 50 general users. The research tool is a form to evaluate the efficiency of hospital notification systems using Internet of Things technology and questionnaires on satisfaction with hospital notification systems using Internet of Things technology. Statistics used in research include mean and standard deviation.

            The research results found that 1) Development of hospital notification systems using Internet of Things technology. The system has two main components consisting of hardware and software. The hardware part uses a NodeMCU microcontroller to control the nurse alert system. Software development uses the Visual Studio Code program to write programs and the Xampp program to simulate a computer as a web server, and the programming languages are PHP and JAVA Script. The system's working process, the NodeMCU device, receives values and processes them with the program. Alert information can be sent in 2 formats: 1) Send notifications to the nursing room at the control unit. (Service station) 2) Send via wireless network equipment, email channels and LINE applications. 2) Results of evaluating the efficiency of hospital notification systems using Internet of Things technology. It was found that overall the system's efficiency was at a very good level, with an average of 4.92. 3) Results of the study of satisfaction with the hospital notification system using Internet of Things technology. It was found that overall the system had good efficiency, with an average of 4.41.
