Abstract

As the number of people with chronic diseases increases due to an aging society, it is urgent to prevent and manage their diseases. Although biometric authentication methods and Telemedicine Systems have been introduced to solve these problems, it is difficult to solve the security problem of medical information and personal authentication. Since smart healthcare includes personal medical information of subjects, the security of personal information is the most important field. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to propose a Telemedicine System using a smart wearable device ECG in the form of a wristband and face personal authentication in a private blockchain environment. This system targets various medical personnel and patients with chronic diseases in all regions, and uses a private blockchain that can increase data integrity and transparency, ECG and face authentication that are difficult to forge and alter and have high personal identification to provide a system with high security and reliability. composed. Through this, it is intended to contribute to increasing the efficiency of chronic disease management by focusing on disease prevention and health management for patients with chronic diseases at home.

고령화 사회로 인한 만성질환자의 증가로 그들의 질병 예방과 관리가 시급하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 생체인증 방법과 원격의료시스템들이 소개되고 있으나 의료정보와 개인인증의 보안성 문제를 해결하는데에는 어려움이 있다. 스마트 헬스케어는 대상자의 개인 의료정보를 포함하고 있으므로 무엇보다 개인정보의 보안이 중요한 분야이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 프라이빗 블록체인 환경에서 손목 밴드 형태의 스마트 웨어러블 디바이스 ECG와 얼굴 개인인증을 활용한 원격의료시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 시스템에서는 다양한 의료인과 전 지역 만성질환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 데이터의 무결성과 투명성을 높일 수 있는 프라이빗 블록체인을, 위변조가 어렵고 개인식별성이 높은 ECG와 얼굴인증을 활용하여 보안성과 신뢰성이 높일 수 있는 시스템을 구성하였다. 이를 통해 재가 만성질환자의 질병 예방과 건강관리에 힘써 만성질환 관리의 효율성을 높이는데 기여하고자 한다.
