Abstract

In response to the significant rise of Home Health Care (HHC) due to technological advances, an expanding elderly demographic, and increased disease outbreaks—intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic—there is a pressing demand for better management of the resulting medical waste. This paper explores the development of a web-based decision support system designed to optimize medical waste collection in the HHC sector. The system is built using Flask for backend processes, with a user interface crafted from HTML and CSS, and employs JSON files for data management. It features dynamic routing enabled by two metaheuristic algorithms: the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA-2) and the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). The application supports real-time adjustments to vehicle routes and waste production sites, enhancing the efficiency of medical waste management by minimizing human intervention. The design allows for easy adaptation to different sectors and can be expanded to test various scenarios.
