Abstract

Tobacco use among Indonesian youth remains alarmingly high despite ongoing anti-smoking initiatives, posing a significant public health challenge. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and key demographic determinants of youth smoking in Indonesia, utilizing a cross-sectional analysis of the 2023 Riskesdas national health survey and a 2024 Ministry of Health press release. Variables examined included age, gender, education, income level, and urban or rural residency, analyzed using frequency distributions, cross-tabulations, and logistic regression. Results revealed that smoking rates peaked among youth aged 20–24 (18.5%), with males and individuals from lower education and income backgrounds at greater risk. Urban youth and those who began smoking before age 15 were also more likely to develop long-term dependence. Socioeconomic disadvantage, limited health literacy, and weak enforcement of tobacco laws emerged as major risk factors. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive, multi-sectoral, and culturally adapted strategies including strengthened school-based programs, community engagement, stricter tobacco advertising bans, and increased tobacco taxation to effectively reduce youth smoking. Coordinated actions across education, policy, healthcare, and media sectors are critical for protecting Indonesia’s next generation from the harms of tobacco.

Abstract

Wearable devices are gaining recognition as vital tools in preventive health monitoring, enabling a shift from reactive to proactive care models. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on the effectiveness of wearables in four key areas: cardiovascular health, diabetes management, general fitness, and elderly care. Findings indicate that wearable ECGs and blood pressure monitors improve early detection of cardiovascular risks and help reduce hospitalizations. Continuous glucose monitoring significantly enhances glycemic control, although access remains unequal between developed and developing countries. Fitness wearables increase physical activity, yet adoption is shaped by socioeconomic and cultural factors. Among elderly populations, wearable technologies support vital sign tracking and emergency detection, contributing to autonomy and safety, though challenges in digital literacy and affordability persist. Despite these benefits, several systemic barriers limit broader impact—particularly data privacy concerns, regulatory fragmentation, interoperability issues, and cost. Addressing these challenges requires integrated policy responses, user-centered design, and equitable access strategies. This review concludes that while wearable devices offer substantial potential for improving population health, realizing their impact depends on resolving critical access and infrastructure gaps, particularly in low-resource settings. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies and culturally tailored innovations to enhance real-world effectiveness and global scalability.

Abstract

Smart hospitals represent a transformative model in healthcare, leveraging Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and blockchain to improve operational efficiency and patient safety. This narrative review synthesizes current literature on the implementation and impact of these technologies in hospital environments. The findings show that IoT integration reduces operational redundancies, enhances real-time patient monitoring, and supports predictive analytics to prevent clinical errors. Supporting technologies such as AI and blockchain strengthen data-driven decision-making and secure data management. However, challenges persist, including interoperability issues, cybersecurity risks, and disparities in adoption across regions. The review underscores the importance of policy frameworks, workforce readiness, and governance structures in enabling successful implementation. Future research should prioritize longitudinal and comparative studies to better evaluate the long-term effects of smart hospitals and promote equitable digital transformation in healthcare systems.

Abstract

The transformation of public health surveillance through digital technologies has significantly reshaped global health responses in the post-pandemic era. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from 2019 to 2025, highlighting the roles of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in improving outbreak forecasting, data integration, and real-time monitoring. While high-income countries demonstrate successful implementation due to robust infrastructures and governance, low- and middle-income nations face systemic barriers such as inadequate digital capacity and workforce limitations. Key challenges include fragmented systems, interoperability issues, and persistent digital divides. Policy coherence, investment in workforce training, and ethical data governance emerge as critical enablers of sustainable and equitable surveillance. The findings underscore the need for inclusive digital health strategies that extend beyond emergency responses to build resilient systems capable of addressing both emerging threats and long-term public health priorities.

Abstract

The implementation of health protocols is a crucial strategy in controlling the spread of COVID-19. This study aims to describe the compliance level of mask-wearing and physical distancing in Indonesia and its relation to the number of COVID-19 cases during the pandemic. The study used a descriptive research design based on secondary data obtained from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and the National COVID-19 Task Force. The dataset covered all 34 provinces from January to August 2021 and included monthly and cumulative COVID-19 cases, as well as the percentage of compliance with mask-wearing and physical distancing. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in figures to illustrate provincial differences and national trends. The findings show that as of August 2021, Indonesia recorded 4,089,801 confirmed cases, with the highest numbers in DKI Jakarta, West Java, and Central Java. Provinces with high mask-wearing compliance (above 85%) included Bali, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, East Java, and Central Kalimantan, while low compliance (below 70%) was observed in North Maluku, Bengkulu, and Maluku. Similarly, provinces with high physical distancing compliance (above 80%) were Bali, Yogyakarta, and East Java, while lower compliance rates were observed in North Maluku and Bengkulu. Descriptive analysis indicated that provinces with higher compliance levels generally experienced lower COVID-19 transmission rates. This study highlights the importance of public adherence to health protocols, particularly mask-wearing and physical distancing, in reducing the spread of COVID-19. Effective government policies, continuous public education, and community engagement are essential to maintaining high compliance levels. The findings suggest that behavioral and policy interventions must be strengthened and adapted to regional characteristics to ensure sustainable pandemic control in Indonesia.
