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

KKN students of Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang held a cherry leaf tea-making activity with PKK women in Krandon village. Using cherry leaves to make tea bags is a creative idea from the students that can be applied in the health sector and as an entrepreneurial idea independently carried out by the community. This initiative is motivated by the fact that most of the population has high blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels. The primary purpose of this training is to socialize the health benefits of cherry leaves and provide entrepreneurial ideas for selling herbal tea bags from cherry leaves that can be made more attractive and have high selling value. The results of the cherry leaf tea-making training activities have positively impacted the people of Krandon village. Firstly, it can provide information about the benefits of cherry leaves that were previously unknown to the public. Previously, people only used the fruit without knowing that cherry leaves can also be used for health and as an entrepreneurial idea. Secondly, it motivates women to develop the use of cherry leaves as a selling idea. Thirdly, it can produce tea bags from leaves found in many places and substitute other herbal teas.
