Abstract

Healthcare services can be provided through a number of independent service platforms for measurement of vital signs, diagnosis and prevention of diseases, and Information and communication technology(ICT) such as internet and mobile are converged to provide health information to users at anytime and anywhere, and it is in the center of the IoT(Internet of things). Accordingly, in this paper, we designed IoT based urination management system and evaluate the performance. A low - power Zigbee network was constructed for the configuration of the urination management system. The implemented capacitive diaper sensor was operable for the duration of 2,000 hours. We also built a database server using Raspberry Pi, a tiny embedded device, and stored the collected data to verify the data through an Android-based mobile application. The proposed urination management system can be utilized not only for the older patients, but also for the infants.

헬스케어 서비스는 생체신호 측정, 질병의 진단 및 예방을 위한 독자적인 다수의 서비스 플랫폼을 통해 제공할 수 있으며 인터넷, 모바일 등의 정보통신(ICT) 기술이 융합해 언제, 어디서나 이용자에게 건강 정보를 제공할 수 있어 사물 인터넷의 중심에 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 사물인터넷 기반의 배뇨관리 시스템을 설계하고 그 성능을 평가하였다. 배뇨관리 시스템 구성을 위해 저 전력의 지그비 네트워크를 구축하였으며 구현된 정전 용량형 기저귀 센서는 약 2,000시간의 동작을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 초소형 임베디드 디바이스인 라즈베리파이를 활용하여 데이터베이스 서버를 구축하고 수집된 데이터를 저장하여 안드로이드 기반의 모바일 어플리케이션을 통해 데이터를 확인하였다. 제안된 배뇨관리 시스템은 요양병원 등 고령의 환자들을 대상으로 활용이 가능하며, 영유아를 대상으로도 편리하게 이용이 가능할 것이다.
