Item Design and Construction of a Portable Electronic Sleep Inducer for Low Resource Settings(Faculty of Engineering, FUOYE, Nigeria, 2020-09) Ahmed, Yusuf Kola; Zubair, Abdul R.; Saminu, Sani; Akande, Kareem A.; Afolayan, Mubarak A.; Afonja, Awawu A.Good quality restful sleep is indispensable to mental and physical health. However, pressure due to busy life style, work and sometimes physiological factors have placed constraints on adequate and healthy sleep pattern leading to several sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. Sleep disorder affects the quality of life of such patients as it grossly reduces efficiency at work and leads to poor mental and physical health. Available drugs to treat this disorder are addictive with strong adverse effects, while existing devices to provide intervention are very expensive. Hence, the development of an affordable, portable electronic sleep inducer with display unit is presented. It uses geomagnetic property of the earth coupled with electromagnetic wave induction to stimulate sleep. The signal frequency was generated by IC4047 coupled with Arduino Uno and ATmega 328p for device control. The output of this electronic sleep inducer is found to satisfactorily produce 5.89 Hz and 3.58 Hz for theta and delta waves respectively, needed to induce sleep. It consumes less power and it is rechargeable.Item Development of an automated healthcare record management system(Adeleke University Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2019-06-26) Yahaya, Suleiman A.; Jilantikiri, Lydia J.; Hassan, Kehinde A.; Akande, Kareem A.; Yahaya, AbdullahiThis project focused on the development of an electronic health record management system with a smartcard to improve University of Ilorin health record management service. This represents a transition from the traditional paper-based patient record keeping to a more a sophisticated electronic/computer-based format. The software was created with XAMPP platform and QR code generator was used for the accompanying smart card. MySQL was used to create the database and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), CSS and Javascript were used for the design of the interface, styling and sending of queries. The database was connected with the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) so that data can be selected and inserted into the database using server-side execution. Either username and password or smart card can be used to log in into various sections of the system. The developed system would see to the improvement in the University of Ilorin’s health care record management when fully deployed, which would reduce problems associated with patients’ records keeping and also increase the rate at which data is accessed, thus improving healthcare service delivery.
