Android-based Application Development for Release Time Management of Radioactive Waste in Hospitals

Abstract

Hospitals are one of the places that produce radioactive waste originating from the use of radioactive materials for scanning or treatment processes. Before being released into the environment, radioactive materials need to be managed first so that they do not potentially endanger the environment. The purpose of this research is to develop an android-based application design to facilitate health workers monitoring radiation levels and the release of radioactive materials that have been used. The radioisotopes used in this study are limited to I-131, Sm-153, and Tc-99m radioisotopes. The process of making applications is conducted using a waterfall model starting from requirements analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The results of this application design show that the application can be used and functions properly.
