Abstract

The emergence of diverse medical Internet of Things (IoT) devices has facilitated the collection and analysis of medical contexts to assess health conditions. However, the complexity of IoT-based systems for health assessment is quiet high and it requires high development cost, since the designs of the systems highly depend on the heath aspects to be evaluated. In this paper, we propose a design of the platform that provides generic functionalities to various health evaluation applications. We first define a metric for computing a health index, which is a generic health assessment model. And, based on the proposed generic health index, we propose a design of the platform to evaluate diverse aspects of the health including its hardware architecture, software architecture and database design. We describe the result of developing Rainbow Toilet System based on the proposed platform, and assess the practical applicability.

다양한 의료 IoT 디바이스들이 등장함에 따라 개인의 의료 데이터를 수집하고, 수집된 개인 의료 데이터로부터 개인 건강 상태를 분석할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나, 건강 평가 항목에 따라 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 설계가 결정되어 개발 난이도가 높다. 본 논문에서는 의료 데이터를 수집하고 수집한 의료 데이터를 분석하여 건강 평가를 하는 다양한 시스템들을 개발하는데, 범용적으로 활용될 수 있는 플랫폼 설계를 제안한다. 이를 위해, 먼저 범용 건강 평가 모델인 건강 인덱스 계산 메트릭을 정의한다. 그리고, 제시된 범용 건강 인덱스를 기반으로 다양한 측면에서 건강을 평가할 때 필요한 하드웨어 플랫폼 및 소프트웨어 플랫폼 설계 모델을 제안한다. 또한, 제안된 플랫폼을 이용하여 레인보우 변기 시스템을 개발한 사례를 통하여, 플랫폼의 실용적 적용성을 평가한다.
