The development of wearable technology, especially smartwatches, opens up great opportunities in preventive health monitoring, especially in rural areas such as Sembung Village, Wringinanom, Gresik, where access to health services is limited. However, this technology is still alien to the local community. Preliminary surveys show that the majority of citizens, including health cadres, have never used or even seen a smartwatch in person, and view it as a luxury and irrelevant item. In fact, the potential of smartwatches as “digital health assistants” is huge from tracking heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), stress levels, to physical activity reminders that are essential for early detection of health disorders. This service activity aims to improve digital literacy and adoption of smartwatch technology through a participatory educational approach and direct assistance. Implementation methods include: (1) coordination with the village government and health workers, (2) Interactive socialization using local languages, (3) step-by-step practical training, (4) simulation of application in the field, and (5) pre-test and post-test evaluation of 27 participants (25 health cadres, 1 midwife, 1 nurse). The results showed significant improvements: function understanding from the original value of 1.8 increased to 4.2, consumption interest from the original value of 2.1 increased to 4.0, benefit perception from the original value of 1.9 increased to 4.3, self confidence from the original value of 1.5 increased to 3.8, and digital literacy awareness from the original value of 2.0 increased to 4.1. The hands-on approach proved effective in changing participants ' mindset from skeptical to enthusiastic, proving that the digital divide is not due to incompetence, but the lack of access to contextual education. The implication is that smartwatch has the potential to become a strategic tool for village health cadres in early detection and real-time data-based health education, provided that it is supported by sustainable mentoring.

Sustainable learning should begin with strengthening basic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic (calistung). This is heavily influenced by the teaching methods, media, and teaching modules used. Adapting the content into student activities through modules is key to improving the quality of the learning process. In response to this issue, the Community Service Team (PkM) conducted a Training on Preparing Teaching Modules at the Swara Peduli Ceria Foundation, located in Klender, East Jakarta. This training aimed to assist educators at the learning center in developing relevant and impactful teaching modules for children. The activity was held at the Learning Center Hall of the Swara Peduli Ceria Foundation, with 15 participants attending. The training was carried out in five stages: (1) initial preparation, (2) activity presentation, (3) delivery of material, (4) activity evaluation, and (5) follow-up. Participants were given both theoretical materials and practical experience in developing teaching modules. The results showed an improvement in the participants' ability to design teaching modules that were appropriate for the needs of the children at the learning center. The final product, a collaboratively developed teaching module, was considered beneficial and practical for the educators to implement in their lessons. This activity provided a positive impact not only for the participants but also for the quality of learning at the center. The PkM program strengthened the role of higher education institutions in supporting sustainable education for the community. By helping educators in preparing suitable teaching materials and modules, the program contributed to enhancing the learning environment for children, ensuring that the education they receive aligns with their developmental needs. This initiative also highlights the importance of collaboration between universities and local educational institutions in improving education quality and fostering sustainable growth in the community.

Mekarsari Village, located in Panimbang District, Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province, has local potential in the form of a bamboo-based home industry. This potential has long been part of the cultural and economic identity of the local community. Therefore, the goal of this Community Service (PKM) activity is to increase the income of bamboo craftsmen by encouraging innovation, improving product quality, and broader marketing strategies. The PKM activity was carried out by male and female students of KKM Universitas Bina Bangsa, group 41 of 2025. The stages of activities carried out in this program include three main phases. The pre-implementation stage was carried out through a process of observation and direct visits to the homes of bamboo craftsmen in Sumur Kuya Village, Mekarsari Village. Students conducted short interviews to explore obstacles and potential in production activities carried out so far. The implementation stage included practical work on making household products such as winnowing baskets, food covers, tissue holders, and bamboo baskets by KKM41 participants, guided directly by the craftsmen. Students also provided light training on product design to make it more attractive and competitive in the market. The final stage, the evaluation stage, was conducted through product socialization activities to the local community, including mini-exhibitions and open discussions. The community was educated on the importance of preserving local heritage while remaining open to innovation in production and marketing. This activity was held from July 18–20, 2025.

In the evolving dynamics of Indonesia's economy, unsecured loans or Kredit Tanpa Agunan (KTA) have rapidly grown as a popular financial solution. The ease of application and fund disbursement makes these products especially attractive to micro-entrepreneurs and lower-middle-income communities. However, behind the convenience lies a serious issue: a high rate of default or breach of contract (wanprestasi). This problem is exacerbated by the low level of legal literacy among the public, leading to a lack of understanding of their rights and obligations in financing agreements. Most individuals are also unaware that there is a faster, simpler, and low-cost legal mechanism available for resolving civil disputes—namely, the Small Claims Court procedure, as regulated by the Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) No. 4 of 2019. This mechanism can be utilized by the general public, especially clients of microfinance institutions and credit cooperatives, to resolve civil conflicts involving claims of up to IDR 500 million without going through complex litigation. To address this issue, this community engagement activity aimed to improve public legal understanding of the Small Claims Procedure through participatory-based training. The training involved 50 participants from microfinance institutions and savings and loan cooperatives. The methods used included legal counseling, mock court simulations, group discussions, and case studies to provide participants with practical knowledge of the procedures and benefits of filing small claims. The results of the activity indicated that 78% of participants reported a better understanding of the Small Claims mechanism after the training, and 65% stated they were more inclined to use it compared to conventional litigation routes. This training had a positive impact on raising legal awareness, potentially reducing default rates, and contributing to the development of a more inclusive, fair, and sustainable financial system.

The accuracy of qibla direction remains a significant challenge for Muslim communities, particularly in educational institutions where misconceptions about qibla measurement methods persist. This community service program addressed the need for accessible astronomical literacy among students at Pondok Pesantren As'ad Jambi by introducing protractor-based qibla measurement techniques. Implemented on November 11, 2023, the program engaged 90 participants comprising Madrasah Aliyah students and Ma'had Aly Ibrahimi students through an integrated approach combining theoretical exposition and hands-on practice. The intervention utilized a dual-method framework: interactive lectures elucidating Islamic jurisprudence and astronomical principles of qibla determination, followed by direct application of protractor measurement techniques. Evaluation through participant observation and post-activity assessment revealed substantial knowledge enhancement and practical skill acquisition among attendees. Participants demonstrated improved understanding of qibla direction concepts and gained confidence in applying measurement techniques independently. The program's success manifested in heightened enthusiasm for astronomy-based religious practices and increased capacity for autonomous qibla verification at household level. This initiative contributes to bridging traditional Islamic scholarship with contemporary scientific methodologies, fostering critical thinking in ritual observance while preserving religious authenticity.
