Abstract

The speed of aging society is increasingly getting faster in Korea. Currently, there are over one million elderly living alone, which represents more than 19% of the total elderly in Korea. Although various policies and research have been implemented for caring the elderly living alone, there have been obvious limitations in realization of the caring system due to inconvenience, privacy violation, difficult operation and maintenance. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a method and a prototype system to monitor safety of elderly living alone by using energy usage information of automatic meter reading device. The proposed system is expected to improve or resolve the existing limitations and to provide 24 hour monitoring and early detection of death for the elderly living alone without adding staffs for operation and maintenance in a more effective and economic way.

한국은 매우 빠르게 고령화가 진행되고 있고 2010년 독거노인이 100만 여명으로 전체노인의 19%를 점유하고 지속 증가 추세에 있어 독거노인 케어를 위한 다양한 정책과 연구들이 진행되고 있으나 고비용구조의 시스템 설치, 몸에 기기 부착에 따른 생활불편, 감시카메라에 의한 사생활노출, 소방서 출동, 시스템 유지관리 등 다양한 문제점을 않고 있어 보편적 실현에 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대부분의 공동주택에 기본 인프라로 설치되고 있는 원격검침시스템 에너지 사용량 정보를 기반으로 보편적 독거노인 안전확인 모니터링 시스템을 구축하기 위한 요인과 방법론을 도출하고 이를 기반으로 한 서비스 구현방안을 제시하는 것이 목적이다. 본 연구에서 제시한 단계별 프로세스에 따라 대응할 경우 추가 시설 비용부담이 없고 사생활침해 등 문제점이 해소되고 또한 관리소 인력을 활용 365일 모니터링이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있어 독거노인의 안전확인 모니터링은 물론 고독사 조기발견에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 본 연구결과는 유비쿼터스 서비스 중 보건 의료 복지 단위서비스의 노약자 안전생활 모니터링 U-서비스로 정착될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
