The purpose of this study is to develop a capstone design program by applying a design thinking methodology to the digital healthcare field to cultivate creative convergence talents with complex and practical skills and understanding of new technologies required in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. To this end, we analyzed the literature and previous studies in the field of digital healthcare and capstone design and proposed a capstone design model and application plan in the field of digital healthcare. The effectiveness was confirmed through expert review, and the effectiveness was analyzed by pilot application of the capstone design program. This is meaningful in that it can be used as an operation guide that can be used step-by-step when applying the capstone design in the digital healthcare field.

Healthcare service helps users' health management by collecting an individual user's activity and biometric data from mobile devices and by providing them to the user. As a result, it has become necessary to perform a research on how to show the collected data. According to information visualization, the same data can have various interpretations depending on how they are represented. Healthcare data must be elivered to information acceptors without errors or distortion as they are directly related to people's health. With the expansion of healthcare service by the development of technology, this study could measure various data from users and was started to provide a necessary guideline for the visualization of measured numerical data. To propose a specific visualization by applying the visualization direction, 5 types of data including present value, measured value, relative value, relation data, and prediction value were set as the values necessary for the continuous use of mobile healthcare. Visualization was proposed concretely by applying clarity, variable comparison, brevity, relation, reliability, independence, and contextuality, which are the criteria for vitalizing the healthcare service.

This study comprised a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine how digital health care to relieve depression of the elderly. The CINAHL, Embase, Medline, DBpia, KERIS, KISS and RISS were used. As a result of the systematic search, a total of 4,071 studies were assessed and six studies were ultimately selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these, a total of five studies were available for meta-analysis; the effect size was calculated. The effect size of digital health care was statistically significant in reducing depression(SMD=-4.73, 95% CI -7.44 to -2.01, Z=3.41, p=.0007). Since only web-based programs are included in the analysis among types of digital health care, we suggest that we consider ways to reduce depression in the elderly by applying various digital health care in the future.

The technology of mobile healthcare is steadily growing, but acceptance of consumers is sluggish. Various studies related to mobile healthcare have been conducted, but studies on the characteristics of prisoners are lacking. Therefore, in this study, we examined the effect of diffusion factors of mobile health care on the intention to use, and examined the moderating effect of innovation propensity. The results show that the relative advantage, compatibility, observability, and usefulness of mobile health care affect the intention to use. In addition, the innovation propensity has a moderating effect on the influence of complexity, trialability, and usafulness on intention to use. This study suggests that the use of the concept of innovation propensity has been confirmed as a major control variable in the relationship between innovation diffusion factors and utilization intention. In addition, it suggests that consumers' innovation tendency is a factor to be taken into consideration for suppliers of mobile healthcare.

As IoT technology has gained the attention all around the world, the development for various services of healthcare, smart city, agriculture, and defense based on IoT is in progress. However, it is likely that healthcare services based on IoT have a problem of being leaked of patients' biological information by a third party and that risks patients' lives. In this paper, an IoT health care service managing model based on location sensor is proposed, which secures the biological information of a patient and simplifies the procedure to process the treatment and administration steps by using the data resources sensed. Even when an emergency occurs, this proposed model can respond quickly using the location information of the patient, which enables the staff in the hospital to locate the patient in real time. In addition, there is an advantage to minimize the time and the process of care, because the location of the equipment for necessary treatment is possible to be instantaneously located with attached sensors.

In this study we aim to identify the core technologies that play central roles along with the peripheral technologies that contribute to the technology convergence in digital healthcare. A total of 376 korean-patents related to healthcare were gathered from 2011 to 2020, and a topic modeling technique and a network analysis were conducted on the collected data. Six major topics were derived through the topic modeling procedure which are "data collection", "signal measurement", "health management", "data transmission", "diagnostic treatment", and "measurement device". Each of the six topics were analyzed to depict relations among technologies, specify the convergence characteristics, and identify the core-technology through centrality analysis. The study illustrates the present status of digital healthcare technology development and the technological convergence in South Korea and is anticipated to help establish policies to foster healthcare industry.

The aging population and worsening lifestyle habits have increased the risk of chronic diseases. This has heightened the importance of preventive healthcare, particularly through personalized health management services based on individual health data. Despite this, the domestic digital healthcare industry remains underdeveloped. Given the need for acceptance from both consumers and providers, this study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to identify success factors for health management service platforms. AHP evaluates the relative importance of various factors to aid decision-making. Results show that providers prioritize data analysis and platform design, laws and regulations, and data standardization, while consumers prioritize system stability, laws and regulations, and system security. These findings highlight the need for strategies to bridge the expectation gap to effectively promote health management service platforms.

The digital bio-healthcare industry is one of the three major fostering industries of the Korean Moon Jae-In government. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the ripple effect and investment effect in digital bio-healthcare industry. Analyzing the ripple effects of the digital bio-healthcare industry is very important to induce policies on industry and technology development. First, the research methods were reclassified into 33 industries in the standard industry classification and rewritten into 35 industry classification tables. Second, various trigger coefficients and ripple effects coefficients were rewritten by the analysis framework of the industrial association table. Third, we compared the ripple effects of related industries in the production, investment, value-added and jobs sectors of the digital bio-healthcare industry. Finally, in terms of investment effects, the effects of in-house and related industries were compared. The result of this study would be helpful in the establishment of industrial policy and technology development policy.

-Healthcare란 건강관련 정보를 시간과 공간의 제약 없이 수집, 처리, 전달, 관리할 수 있게 해줌으로써 원격지 의료서비스를 제공하는 것을 말한다. 본 논문은 USN을 활용하여 원격에서 측정된 의료정보를 수집하여 서버에 전달하는 미들웨어 시스템을 시뮬레이션 했다. 헬스 케어기기에서 측정된 데이터를 USN을 통해 원격지의 서버로 전송하는데, 데이터의 전송에는 근거리 무선통신기술인 Zigbee를 사용하였다. 이러한 과정에서 헬스 케어기기와 서버사이에 미들웨어를 두어 측정된 이진코드 데이터를 텍스트데이터로 변환하여 서버의 헬스케어 시스템에 저장한다. 서버에 저장된 환자들의 의료정보는 의료진이 활용할 수 있도록 했다. 또한, 미들웨어 시스템에서는 데이터의 필터링을 통해 불필요한 데이터를 삭제해 서버의 부하를 줄여서, 외부 어플리케이션의 질의에 대한 정보제공을 용이하게 했다.
