They were students in the 3rd and 5th semester who had innovations that were implemented in the form of innovative products, services, to new prototypes. Held at the UMM Engineering Canteen, Saturday (12/21) morning.
The interesting one was a health application called SIPINO, a drug information translator system that only scanned packaging images. Android-based application made by Oktario Aldila Fachri, Kharisma Muzaki Ghufron, and Rahmah Hutami Ramadhani was created to support the health literacy community, specifically knowing the usage direction, effects and composition of drugs.
Oktario explained, health literacy was generally associated with the ability to read and understand medical prescription. While the results of their research found that the level of public health literacy in Indonesia was still low. With a low level of health literacy, people tended to indiscriminately consume drugs without knowing the effects that would be caused.

No less sophisticated technology made by Billy Aprilio, Yasril Imam and Ulfah Nur Oktaviana, the Integrated Forest Fire Management System or intelligent system that utilized Artificial Intelligence that was used to detect forest fires. "The way this system works is by utilizing the LM35 sensor and the Flame sensor using Artificial Intelligence as a data processor," said Billy.
Inputted that was obtained from this system were temperature and flame. "When there is a fire, the sensor will detect it automatically. Furthermore, the system will give an order to pump water to be sprayed to the point of fire. Where water is obtained from making dew water reservoirs using dew harvesting technology that was using nets or Fog Harvesting.
