Abstract:
Now a day many regions internationally struggle to Access basic health and hygiene services due to their scattered geographic location whore the principal problems of access are attributed to risks of foods, mountainous terrain remote rural and low energy access zones. For this motive the objective of the present investigation is to develop a prototype of a portable medical bag making use of photovoltaic energy and information service to provide basic health services to the communities of the department of Sucre in Colombia. The present investigation has a descriptive and technological development and it’s divided in three phases: in the initial phase the information related to the users, physicist, technical, electrical, electronic and bibliographic requirements for the construction of the prototype were carried out. In the second phase, the desing of the prototype was carried out using a block diagram and the final phase functional tests were applied to the prototype. As a final result, a plastic suitcase with a self-sustaining IP 67 degree of protection was obtained with photovoltaic energy integrated with different medical devices, both digital and conventional in addition to a web platform that allows the registration and control of the information of the different patients treated. It is concluded that the prototype is functional, allowing the management of patient information, in addition to supporting the loads of the different digital devices that make up the suitcase with clean energy.
Self-Sustaining Portable Medical Suitcase with Photovoltaic Energy for Primary Health Care in Difficult Access Areas in the Department of Sucre
