Student Creativity Program Team in the field of Application of Copyright (PKM KC) from Politeknik Negeri Semarang (Polines) chaired by Daffa Fajar Saputro (Electrical Engineering) with members Hanna Yasmin El Fath Al Qudsih (Electrical Engineering), Qurotul A'yunina (Accounting), Prof.

The technology applied in this study is needed for people with anxiety disorders and even panic disorders. This technology is supported by various sensors that help detect pulse and body temperature rise sensors to categorize the type of treatment based on the level of anxiety. This technology is also equipped with condition monitoring and location access.

The idea of the Health Neck Pillow Technology Innovation was based on the desire to be able to solve common problems related to Mental Health. Not everyone is able to provide good treatment for people with mental disorders, especially someone who has an anxiety disorder. Around us, it is not uncommon to find students who have various problems regarding mental health disorders, it is often stated that these students have problems related to anxiety and depression disorders.

This case of anxiety needs to be followed up and the risks need to be considered, especially if you have a history of chronic disease. It is inconceivable, if it is found in an incident around us, if a relative or closest friend has an anxiety disorder and requires special treatment but doesn't understand how to handle it. If a person has a history of serious illness, special measures are needed, such as being taken to the Emergency Room when anxiety disorders arise or appropriate measures to relieve them.

The development of anxiety sedatives in the community, so far has not reached the aspect of identifying the body and providing direct first aid. Therefore the Health Neck Pillow Technology Innovation has been designed by considering the comfort and convenience aspects of its users. So that the Health Neck Pillow Technology Innovation is expected to be able to help people deal with and relieve anxiety disorders.

"So far the stages of work on making our group's tools can be said to be almost finished, starting from assembling and installing the electronics to making applications for monitoring. We have also tried to test the tool to a number of student friends around to get feedback on using the tool, from the survey results it was recorded that data were in the form of advantages and disadvantages of the tool that had been designed, through the data obtained, repairs will be carried out while finishing so that the tool looks more interesting” said Daffa Fajar Saputro.
