Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Pendukung pada Sistem Pengukuran Pelebaran Rongga Dada Pasien Penyakit Paru Obstruktif Kronis

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an inflammation of the lungs that causes persistent airflow limitation. Spirometry examination is a standard examination used for the diagnosis of COPD. A research group of students from the University of North Sumatra has created an alternative diagnostic test for the severity of COPD patients' disease by utilizing one of the physical symptoms of COPD patients, namely the barrel chest or barrel-shaped chest cavity. This study resulted in a chest cavity widening measurement system consisting of a measuring device that aims to measure the diameter of the chest cavity in COPD patients. However, these measuring instruments are not designed to determine the severity of a patient's disease. Therefore, a supporting application is needed that can process the diameter of the chest cavity and other supporting data to be able to determine the severity of COPD patients' disease. In this study, a supporting application was built to facilitate inspection procedures. Supporting applications are designed using the Flutter framework and integrated with a decision tree model. The result of this study is to design a supporting application that can be used to facilitate the procedure for examining the chest cavity dilation measurement system.
