This activity is part of University Trisakti Community Service program funded by the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM), Directorate General of Research and Development (Ditjen Risbang), Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek) through the BIMA Program for the 2026 Fiscal Year under the Community Partnership Empowerment scheme. During the visit, the University Trisakti Community Service Team consisting of lecturers and students of the Information Systems Study Program and lecturers from the Faculty of Medicine met with the leadership of the Islamic boarding school, asatidz, the information technology team, and representatives of students. University Trisakti Community Service Program Socialization The series of activities began with the socialization of University Trisakti Community Service program. In this session, University Trisakti team explained the background, objectives, and forms of digital solutions developed to address various needs in the Daarul ‘Uluum Lido Islamic Boarding School environment. The program is entitled “Empowering Students of the Modern Daarul ‘Uluum Lido Islamic Boarding School through the Implementation of the PEDULI Smart Career Center Application Based on Artificial Intelligence for Career Planning, Education, and Mental Health.” The Head of University Trisakti Community Service Team, Syandra Sari, M.Kom., who is also the Head of the Trisakti Information Systems Study Program, explained that the program was developed based on observations of the needs and problems found in the Islamic boarding school environment. The observation process has been carried out since the Trisakti Team’s initial visit in November 2025. “Through a multidisciplinary approach, University Trisakti combines expertise in information systems and health to produce solutions that are not only oriented towards digitalization, but also provide real benefits for the development of students,” he said, in a statement received by the editors, Tuesday (18/8/2026). Demo of the Smart Career Center PEDULI Application After the socialization, the activity continued with a demonstration of the Smart Career Center PEDULI application that had been developed by the University Trisakti Community Service Team. In the demo session, the team showed how artificial intelligence-based applications can be utilized to support the needs of students, which consists of: A chatbot that functions as the main interaction medium for students to obtain an overview of career paths and recommendations for college majors based on personal interests and tendencies. Initial mental health screening and preventive counseling using the Self Rating Questionnaire (SRQ), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) methods to increase students’ awareness of their mental health conditions. An integrated alumni data management dashboard that is expected to help Islamic boarding schools in consolidating alumni databases and tracer studies. The application development is also aimed at supporting the digitalization of student track records. The Islamic boarding school plans to integrate the system with the internal “Peduliku” application, thus building an E-Santri ecosystem and digital portfolio that allows students to store various achievement records, certificates, and academic administration in a cloud-based manner. Exploring Islamic Boarding School Problems The series of activities continued with a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) between University Trisakti Team and the Daarul ‘Uluum Lido Islamic Boarding School. The FGD provided a space for both parties to discuss in more depth the various problems and needs faced by the Islamic boarding school, both in data management, student career development, student mental health, alumni management, and other aspects that could potentially be supported through the use of digital technology. Through this discussion, the Trisakti Team and the Islamic boarding school identified needs that had not been fully accommodated by the application that had been developed. The results of the FGD then became evaluation material and the basis for determining feature development and application improvements in the next stage. This approach is expected to ensure that technology development does not stop at the implementation of an application, but develops sustainably based on the real needs found in the Islamic boarding school environment. Building Sustainable Collaboration The collaboration between University Trisakti and Daarul ‘Uluum Lido is expected to continue to grow through synergy between academic expertise, the needs of Islamic boarding school educational Instituteions, and the use of artificial intelligence technology. From the Islamic boarding school side, digitizing alumni data and developing the E-Santri ecosystem is an important part in welcoming the 30th anniversary of Daarul ‘Uluum Lido. Alumni data spread across various sectors is expected to be collected and managed more systematically so as to strengthen the network between Islamic boarding schools and their alumni. For University Trisakti , this activity is part of the university’s commitment to provide real contributions through Community Service activities, especially by utilizing competencies in the fields of information systems, artificial intelligence, and health. In the future, the results of the FGD will be one of the foundations for University Trisakti Community Service Team and Daarul ‘Uluum Lido in refining applications and developing digital solutions that are more suited to the needs of Islamic boarding schools. Through ongoing collaboration, University Trisakti and the Daarul ‘Uluum Lido Islamic Boarding School strive to build a digital ecosystem that can support education, student potential development, career planning, alumni management, and student welfare amidst the development of the digital transformation era.
