Abstract
Most of us live with potentially dangerous chemicals which can be found in our home; kitchen cabinets, hallway closets, living rooms and bathrooms. If do not properly stored or used, these products could cause minor like illness to serious as death and even life-threatening health problems. Therefore, the National Poison Centre (NPC), located in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has proposed an idea to develop an application of household chemical identification. The system is developed in two types of application which are web and mobile. Web application is mainly for admin like centre’s officers to manage the household chemical database. Mobile application is used by public users and medical professions. The main objective of this system is to help and educate people on knowledge of toxic chemical in household products. Besides, this system can help NPC to gather the number of poison cases in Malaysia by receiving from users reporting toxic case. The reporting action can encourage users to contribute their data for NPC indirectly. This system acts as a household chemical identifier system for public users to search household chemical information easier. There are two ways of input receiver; user typing and the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. OCR will analyse the scanned-in image, and then translate the character image into searchable data for better conveniences. With this system, the main expected result is to decrease the number of poison case to at least half compared to previous years.
