Unsil Launches SiMoRe, Enabling Public to Actively Monitor Health Services

Universitas Siliwangi (Unsil) has launched an application called SiMoRe (Sistem Monitoring dan Reminder) to increase public involvement in health services at the Sangkali Community Health Centre (Puskesmas) and the Ciangir Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) in Tasikmalaya City. The innovation is expected to improve public compliance in utilising health services while strengthening monitoring and feedback mechanisms for the services provided. The development of SiMoRe received funding support from the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM) of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology through the 2026 BIMA Community Partnership Empowerment Programme. The programme is a collaboration between the Informatics Study Programme and the Nutrition Study Programme of Unsil, targeting participants of the Chronic Disease Management Programme (Prolanis) and Posyandu Ciangir cadres within the Sangkali Health Centre working area. The community service team was led by Siti Yuliyanti, with members Yustima Syamsina Wardani and Muhammad Sidik Asyaky. Team leader Siti Yuliyanti stated that SiMoRe was developed to assist the health service monitoring process while providing reminders to the public to be more disciplined in utilising available services. “Through SiMoRe, we hope to strengthen public engagement so that people are more active in using health services, providing feedback on the services received, and supporting the realisation of more optimal health services in the Sangkali Health Centre working area,” Siti said on Tuesday. According to Siti, the development of SiMoRe not only focuses on the digitalisation of services but also encourages public participation in every health service process. She assessed that the quality of health services is determined not only by facilities and health workers but also by the involvement of the community as service recipients. During the activity, the Unsil team conducted socialisation and launched SiMoRe, which included a presentation on the system’s benefits, the application’s usage mechanism, and a simulation of its implementation to support health service monitoring. The SiMoRe application was subsequently handed over to the Sangkali Health Centre for sustainable use. Unsil hopes the system can be implemented across all services at the Sangkali Health Centre. Head of the Sangkali Health Centre, Isep Deni Herdiana, said the collaboration with Unsil represents a step towards introducing digital innovation in public health services. Isep noted that SiMoRe has the potential to increase public compliance in conducting health check-ups while strengthening the feedback mechanism regarding the quality of health centre services. “We hope this will further improve the quality of health centre services,” Isep said. Meanwhile, the Head of Posyandu Ciangir Cadres, Oban, said that a monitoring and reminder system is a necessity in health services, especially for pregnant women and families with toddlers. “SiMoRe is expected to support the improvement of health services at Posyandu Ciangir,” Oban said.
