Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive community service initiative aimed at improving healthcare accessibility through free health screening services in Krandon Village, Guntur District, Demak Regency. The program implemented both conventional invasive and innovative non-invasive diagnostic technologies to measure blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid levels among rural community members. The initiative was conducted through a collaborative effort between the Physics Department of Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang and the community organization Ngabdi Neliteni Ngabekti (N3). The program successfully demonstrated the practical application of university research in addressing community health needs while introducing innovative diagnostic technologies that enhance patient comfort and reduce medical waste. This community-based screening approach facilitated early detection of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and gout, while simultaneously providing health education to promote sustainable lifestyle changes. The results highlight the potential of university-community partnerships in bridging the gap between academic research and practical healthcare solutions for underserved populations.

Abstract

Routine monitoring of vital signs is an important aspect in disease prevention and early detection efforts. Conventional methods are often time-consuming and inefficient, especially in community health services. This community service activity was conducted by the Physics Department Team of Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang in collaboration with PPTQ Daarul Quran As-Syafaah to test the implementation of the AL-YUSVID (Al-Yusru Integrated Vital Signs Detection) prototype in monitoring vital signs in the Kedung Ringin community, East Lampung. The AL-YUSVID prototype, developed based on the principle of al-Yusru (ease and sustainability), was tested to measure oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, and body temperature in 25 participants. This activity increased community awareness about the importance of routine health monitoring and demonstrated the potential of non-invasive website-based technology in community health services.
