The Department of Science and Technology-Negros Oriental Provincial S&T Center (DOST PSTC) turned over RxBox biomedical devices to the heads of the Rural Health Units of LGU La Libertad and LGU Bindoy during a simple ceremony last June 22, 2021 at the DOST PSTC. Dr. Louie Jay Amante received the equipment in behalf of La Libertad RHU. “We are extremely fortunate today to receive the RxBox 1000,” said Dr. Amante. “We’re really excited to use this in a barrio setting where the basic laboratory and diagnostic tests are not readily available. The RxBox for me is the epitome, an example of ingenuity where you combine the ECG and CTG and other monitoring devices into one, what we call the RxBox. It is very useful in our setting since we don’t have to buy another type of diagnostic machine, it’s combined into one, and with budget constraints, I think this is a very effective device in order for us to address our medica needs. So dako kaayo among pasalamat sa DOST, and like I said, it’s very useful for us who are in the trenches or what we call in the grassroots. “ Dr. Estela Tuse, head of the Bindoy RHU, received the RxBox set. She gratefully acknowledged the assistance: “In behalf of the LGU Bindoy and RHU Bindoy, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to DOST7 for giving us this RxBox, surely this will help us to ease our (delivery of) services.” Immediately after they acquired the equipment, the medical and IT staff of the La Libertad RHU and the Bindoy RHU underwent an online Orientation on RxBox and Super User Training conducted by the DOST Region 7 on June 23-24, 2021. They practiced using the devices live with real patients. The RxBox biomedical device is one of three components of the DOST’s RxBox program, which itself is part of a “Smarter Philippines” initiative. The other two components include: electronic medical record system, and telemedicine training. The RxBox unit captures medical signals through built-in medical sensors, stores data in an electronic medical record system, and transmits health information via internet to a clinical specialist in the Philippine General Hospital. The device consists of six (6) instruments: blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter, electrocardiogram, fetal heart monitor, maternal tocometer, and temperature sensor. For Negros Oriental, the DOST has identified initially 16 LGUs as RxBox recipients, mostly those located quite far from Dumaguete City or without hospitals.

Karong panahuna, daghan ang nag-reklamo tungod sa nisaka nga balayran sa kuryente. Samot na nga init kaayo ang panahon, dili pwede nga dili magpalaban ug betilador o ba kaha aircon. Aron nga dili kaayo daku ang kabayran sa kuryente, aton tamdan kining mga pipila ka mga sugyot gikan sa Department of Energy:
1. Regularly maintain air-conditioners. By regularly cleaning the filters and condensers of a one horsepower conventional air-con unit, you will save PHP100 monthly. 2. Turn off the lights when not needed. Turning off one light bulb for six hours will save you PHP25 a month. 3. Use LED lights. Convert your lighting system from compact fluorescent light to light-emitting diode or LED as it saves as much as 50 percent of energy. 4. Unplug unused electric appliances. Leaving unused electric appliances on standby still consumes energy. For example, a cathode-ray tube television and its digital box on standby mode still consume 16 watts, which is equivalent to PHP57.60 wasted electricity in a month. 5. Clean your fridge and avoid opening it longer than necessary. Do not open the refrigerator for a longer time since refrigerator door opening accounts for seven percent of the consumption assuming you open the fridge door 42 times in a day.
