Nurses, both in large hospitals and elsewhere in the Philippines, were responsible for caring for up to 50 patients. Despite the 1:12 nurse-to-patient ration being the requirement of the Philippine Department of Health. According to the Ateneo School of Medicine, the recent estimate shows that the Philippines have only 7.92 physicians per 10,000 patients. Because of burned-out healthcare workers due to overtimes and obligations, some chose to migrate to countries that offered them better jobs. Brain drain is evident in the Philippines. Chronic wound is spreading worldwide, and it causes 34% of diabetic patients to develop foot ulcers which often result in longer recovery and may mean amputation or death. LUNAS X was designed to solve these issues. LUNAS X, including the program and its gadgets, was built to make wound care medical remote control and easy to manage for medical staff. The devices showed pressure differences of less than ± 0.10 mmHg and errors of no more than 0.03% while undergoing tests. Capability to achieve and maintain therapeutic negative pressures at -200 mmHg or more, including fast and accurate shifts in pressure as needed. It normally took about 2.6 seconds to reach desired pressure levels using physical buttons, the web application also produced the same results with minimal delay, ensuring stable results even at 50 meters. The devices were able to function with thicker liquids and bigger injuries. Medical experts studied the results and scored the LUNAS X 4 out of 5, suggesting the system was dependable and efficient.
