Implementation of Internet of Thing Technology for Infrared Therapy Device Design

Abstract

This study aims to develop an infrared therapy device by embedding the internet of things technology in the research area of therapy devices, especially infrared therapy. Low back pain is a disease that attacks the back muscles that can cause disability and discomfort in activities. This system was developed with an automatic system located in the automation of the lights off and the LM35 temperature sensor, which records the temperature if you feel hot and the timer setting that appears on the LCD and the android interface. This system is based on the internet of things to be monitored from anywhere, anytime. This study consists of an LED lamp, cloud system, and ATmega 328 microcontroller. The study and literature review are carried out following the device development method that embeds the internet of things technology systems in infrared. This study’s result is a prototype design of an infrared therapy device with the internet of things technology that can be used to treat people with low back pain.

Development of Infrared Therapy Device Based on Android Application Using Bluetooth Communication to Minimize the Patient Contact

“…The presence of smartphones with the Android operating system provides a new alternative for gadget users. The use of Android smartphones as a communication tool and smartphones has undergone many developments today [26] to control medical devices. In the development of increasingly modern and increasingly sophisticated medical technology, almost all medical devices are made automatically so that operators can easily operate these devices without disturbing the patient's comfort.…”
