This agronursing project program is about an application "Virtual Medicinal Plants and Hypertension Reminder "VITAMINE". This name reflects the main focus of the program, namely the development of a technology-based application that integrates medication reminders and educational information about medicinal plants to support holistic hypertension management. This project is planned to last for 6 months, consisting of: 2 months of preparation and technology development, 1 month of initial testing, 3 months of full implementation and monitoring. The modules used include technical guidelines for using the application, educational materials about hypertension and medicinal plants, and a manual for health workers to support patients in using this application effectively. Based on the findings of the interview results and their comparison with existing research and theories, a virtual application that integrates medication reminders with information about medicinal plants has great potential to help hypertension patients manage their condition.

Abstract

Low adherence of patients with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and the elderly to scheduled follow-up visits remains a major challenge in primary healthcare services. This issue contributes to delayed detection of complications and reduced effectiveness in managing chronic conditions. This community service program aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the TERKONTROL application—an automated WhatsApp-based reminder system designed to improve the regularity of patient follow-up visits. The program was implemented at Dasan Agung Public Health Center using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively involving program officers, academic facilitators, and patients. The desktop-based application features patient data input, visit scheduling, a monitoring dashboard, and an automated reminder system. Implementation results showed that out of 16 patients who received reminder messages, 13 attended their scheduled visits, achieving a compliance rate of 81.3%. Evaluation revealed positive perceptions from both patients and healthcare staff regarding the application's usability and usefulness. These findings suggest that simple digital innovations such as TERKONTROL (Tertib Kontrol dan Respon Lanjut Pasien PTM & Lansia) can serve as effective tools for real-time patient monitoring, program reporting enhancement, and improved communication in primary healthcare settings.
