Abstract:
This study employed the quantitative method and applied-experimental research design to create practical solutions for developed devices. The Belt Bag-Button SIM800L Based Safety Device System, which utilizes a compact belt bag with a button interface and a SIM800L module for GSM communication, is an innovative safety device system designed for persons with disabilities (PWDs). The primary objective is to enhance the safety and security of persons with disabilities by providing them with a dependable mode of contact in times of emergencies or assistance needs. The device is designed to be portable, allowing PWDs to carry it comfortably without hindering their mobility. Users can easily trigger buzzer notifications and SMS alerts through the button interface or initiate phone calls to predefined contacts, including caregivers, family members, or emergency services. The research encompasses the design, implementation, and evaluation phases, including developing the hardware and software components, experimental stages, and surveys. Preliminary testing demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of the system in real-world scenarios, highlighting its potential to provide valuable support and peace of mind to PWDs and their guardians. Overall, the Belt Bag-Button SIM800L Based Safety Device System represents a significant advancement in assistive technology for PWDs, offering a practical solution to address their safety and communication needs. Future work will focus on refining the system, expanding its features, and conducting broader user trials to validate its efficacy and usability across different contexts and user groups.
