Digital healthcare is a combined area of medical field and IT and various information on digital healthcare is provided in social media. This study aims to find the research trend of digital healthcare by collecting and analyzing data related to digital healthcare through the social media. The data were collected from Naver and Daum's news and blogs from January 2008 to June 2019. Major keywords with high frequency were extracted and visualized with wordcloud and network analysis was used to analyze the relationship between major keywords. Research combining medical field and IT from 2008 to 2001, various convergence research based on medical field and IT from 2012 to 2015, convergence research that applied the 4th industrial revolution technologies such as big data, blockchain and AI were actively conducted from 2016 to June 2019.

The government and private companies are endeavoring to help the digital healthcare industry grow. This includes easing regulations on the big data industry such as the amendment of the Data 3 Act. Despite these efforts, however, there have been constant demands for the amendment of laws related to the medical field and for securing medical data transmissions. In this paper, the Data 3 Act of Korea and the legal system related to healthcare are examined. Then the legal, institutional, and technical aspects of the strategies are compared to understand the issues and implications. Based on this, a legal and institutional strategy suitable for the digital healthcare industry in Korea is suggested. Additionally, a direction to improve social perception along with technical measures such as safe de-identification processing and data transmission are also proposed. This study hopes to contribute to the spread of various convergent industries along with the digital healthcare industry.

In these days the patient can be easy to see the treatment results at home without going directly to hospital. Despite the many advantages that the patient is got optimum service timely, the currently used personal healthcare devices have no compatibility because the manufacturer use the proprietary software and hardware protocols. For these issues, standardization is required between the set-top box and the individual healthcare devices. In this paper, we designed the healthcare set-top box possible to biometric data transmission by using a standard IEEE P11073 between the device and the set-top box. Because the set-top box using IEEE P11073 standardization can transfer data independently, we are expected to make it contribute significantly to the healthcare business.

Recently, the healthcare field is trying to develop a model that can improve service quality by reflecting the requirements of various industrial fields. In this paper, we propose an Internet of Behavior (IoB) environment model that can process users' healthcare information in real time in a 5G environment to improve healthcare services. The purpose of the proposed model is to analyze the user's healthcare information through deep learning and then check the health status in real time. In this case, the biometric information of the user is transmitted through communication equipment attached to the portable medical equipment, and user authentication is performed through information previously input to the attached IoB device. The difference from the existing IoT healthcare service is that it analyzes the user's habits and behavior patterns and converts them into digital data, and it can induce user-specific behaviors to improve the user's healthcare service based on the collected data.

Lately, in accordance with the improvement of living standards and income level, concern about the health is continuously increasing and the desire is also becoming diverse. This study focused on the user's acceptance of converged smart u-health system. For the study purpose, this paper analyzed the health and technology factors influencing the user's acceptance on u-health system. Thus this study was carried out by using covariance based SEM in order to test the model fitness and path coefficient. As the results, the health management experience among HPM factors and perceived usefulness among TAM had a positive effect on attitude and the perceived usefulness had a direct effect on behavioral intention.

As life expectancy has increased, health status becomes an important factor on life. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has led to the development of a variety of healthcare devices and applications that make it easier and more convenient to manage health. In particular, the area of individual genetic analysis with Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) has expanded, and genetic information is used to treat and prevent diseases according to individual differences. This study analyzes the genetic information of individuals, that is, SNP variant, and identifies specific chronic disease risk groups such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension. After then we will propose a customized nutrition information service. In addition the service of regional exercise management will be provided, to encourage exercise based on walking courses and sports center information in residential areas. Based on the GPS, it will design the service of exercise management that can encourage exercise by providing walking course and sports center information in the residential area.

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.

Mobile health industry has been combined with IT technology and is attracting attention. The health application has been developed to provide users a healthy life style. First of all, 5 mobile health applications were selected and reviewed in terms of their service trend. It turned out that none of those applications had any emotional data but physical one. Secondly, to extract users' emotion, technological researches were sorted into different categories. And the result implied that text-based emotion recognition technology is the most suitable for the mobile health service. To implement the service, the application was designed and developed the process of emotion recognition system based on the contents of the research. One-dimension emotion model, which is the standard of classifying emotional data and social network service, was set up as a source. In last, to suggest the usage of health application has been combined with persuasive technology. As a result, this paper prospered a overall service process, concrete service scheme and a guidelines containing 15 services in accordance with the five emotions and time. It is expected to become a direction for indicators considering a psychological individual context.
