Abstract

Background:  IoT-based postpartum alert is the development of a vital sign-checking tool using obstetric early warning system indicators. This is an effort to prevent maternal death during the postpartum period. Monitoring is carried out manually without interpretation and recommendations and is not connected to the Internet. Adding interpretations and recommendations and connecting to the Internet can help mothers and families with self-examination and remote monitoring by midwives or health workers because, generally, mothers are at home during the postpartum period.Purpose: This research aims to create and test an IoT-based Postpartum alert detection tool that has been developed. Methods: This research is R&D, divided into five stages: collecting information through literature study, product/model design, design validation, design revision, and small-scale product/model testing.Results:  An IoT-based early postpartum detection tool with a portable design has been created. The test results are based on the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) classification in the area under the ROC curve, which shows that the tool has an outstanding category with an accuracy level of 90%.Conclusion: The IoT-based postpartum emergency detection alarm is a vital sign measuring tool that can interpret and recommend signs and connect to health workers using internet features. The measurement and interpretation results are sent to the cloud system to provide recommendations, data storage, and notification alarms to health workers.

Abstract

Background: Sanitary pads are essential for postpartum mothers to accommodate lochia and prevent infection in perineal wounds. Binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia) contain flavonoids with antiseptic, antioxidant, and analgesic properties that promote wound healing by inhibiting microbial growth and reducing inflammation. However, research on the use of sanitary pads infused with Binahong leaf extract for perineal wound healing remains limited.Objective: This study investigates the effectiveness of Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads in accelerating postpartum perineal wound healing. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a post-test-only randomized control group design was conducted at the Poasia Health Center, Kendari City. The study included postpartum mothers meeting specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total sample of 34 participants (17 intervention, 17 control). The intervention group used Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads four times daily, while the control group relied on standard dry wound care. The intervention lasted seven days, and wound healing was assessed using the REEDA scale on days three, five, and seven.Results: The findings demonstrated a significant effect of Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads on perineal wound healing. The intervention group (2.52 ± 0.87) experienced faster wound recovery than the control group (5.23 ± 1.67) (p< 0.001).Conclusion: Binahong leaf extract sanitary pads effectively accelerate perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers and may serve as an alternative wound care approach.
