Abstract

The study examined the ABO and Rh Profiling (ARGOS) software's impact on learning Fundamental of Transfusion Practice at UiTM. ARGOS, a new software, complements traditional blood typing. The survey questionnaires were employed to evaluate the effect of the use of the ARGOS in students’ learning. ARGOS minimized errors and facilitated ABO grouping accurately. It simplified Rh system understanding, including Fisher-Race, Weiner, Rosenfield, and Tippet’s nomenclature. ARGOS enhanced student engagement, offering immediate feedback, and verifying comprehension. Overall, the software improved learning outcomes by aiding in result accuracy, reducing errors, and simplifying complex concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
