A Procedural Algorithm for Biomedical E-Waste Management
Author(s): Abel Kamagara*, Bridget Atukunda and Mercy Kekirunga
In this paper, a procedural algorithm for biomedical electronic obsolescence and subsequently, an online E-waste management system is presented. To accomplish this, the following was done; (i) Analyzed several standard procedures followed to declare biomedical equipment obsolete, and (ii) generated an online database that procedurally compares and categorizes degrees of obsolescence for different biomedical equipment. Results show that our algorithm is able to procedurally predict whether the equipment is obsolete or functional and further produce a tabular representation of the same for further reference and action. This is promising for better electronic and/or inventory management in the hospital and can seemingly foster environmental preservation through reduced electronic waste pollution. .. View more»
