Abstract

Regularly monitoring uric acid levels is essential for preventing and managing gout, where excess uric acid accumulates in joints and causes pain and swelling. Traditionally, invasive blood sample methods are used for this measurement, which can be uncomfortable and increase medical waste. This community service project, organized by the Physics Department of Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang in collaboration with the Ngabdi Neliteni Ngabekti (N3) community organization, compares invasive and non-invasive approaches for uric acid level assessment among residents in Karonsih, Semarang. A newly developed non-invasive device was evaluated alongside standard invasive methods based on participant comfort, accuracy, and feedback. Results indicate that, although the non-invasive device showed a mean error rate of 40.52%, it was preferred for its comfort and non-invasive nature. These findings highlight the potential of non-invasive technology in community health monitoring and underline the importance of regular health check-ups facilitated by collaborations between community organizations, educational institutions, and government bodies.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to promote health awareness by measuring blood sugar levels among residents of Karonsih, Semarang, using both invasive and non-invasive methods. The project, led by the Physics Department of Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo in collaboration with the Ngabdi Neliteni Ngabekti (N3) community organization, provided free blood sugar screenings to 19 residents, two of whom showed elevated blood sugar levels and received feedback on lifestyle modifications to help maintain healthy glucose levels. The non-invasive prototype blood sugar monitoring device used in this study showed an average error rate of 47.08% compared to standard invasive measurements, suggesting areas for improvement in accuracy. However, the resident's enthusiasm and the device's environmental benefits indicate the potential for further development. This project underlines the importance of community health education and highlights the role of innovative technology in creating accessible and sustainable health monitoring solutions.
