Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Muaro Jambi Regency, where TB transmission continues to increase despite integrated treatment efforts. Environmental factors such as humidity, lighting, and temperature play an important role in supporting TB transmission within household environments. This study aimed to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring technology prototype for measuring humidity, lighting, and temperature in the homes of TB patients in the working area of the Penyengat Olak Community Health Center, Muaro Jambi Regency. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach consisting of four stages, including needs analysis, system design, prototype development, and testing. The developed prototype integrates environmental sensors with a web-based monitoring system to enable real-time recording and monitoring of household environmental conditions. The expected outcome of this research is an IoT-based monitoring device capable of supporting early prevention and environmental control of pulmonary TB transmission
