This study aims to examine the preferred device types, the difference of device properties by service types, and acceptance intention for applications and willingness to pay for healthcare services. To attain this goal, this research conducted a survey targeted to the subjects of those concerned in hospitals and medical institutions, the aged and patients with chronic disease, and consumers having interest in health maintenance. According to the result of the analysis, acceptance intention for mobile devices for healthcare services was high in general. And patients with chronic disease and those concerned in hospitals showed high acceptance intention. Smart phones were preferred the most in the support of healthcare services. And there was the difference of device properties by service types, and in health maintenance, easiness and playfulness were somewhat high. Acceptance intention for mobile applications was rather high in personal use, and regarding the properties, personal information protection was valued highly.

Recently, owing to the development of ubiquitous sensor network and mobile communication technologies, many studies on healthcare system are being carried out. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a mobile u-Healthcare system based on sensor network. The u-Healthcare system is composed of three components: wireless sensor network at home, healthcare center located at remote site, and gateway which relays sensing physiological signals to healthcare center. In order to measure patient's physiological signal three sensors are used: three channel ECG sensor, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure sensor. Each sensor is mounted on a mote which can send gathered signal to the base node using Zigbee communication protocol. Once the base node receives physiological signal from each sensor, the client in the base node transfers the signal to the healthcare center. The received physiological signal at the healthcare center is analyzed and processed using various algorithms. The processed results are compared to the standard healthcare database and appropriate treatment including dietetics and exercise cure would be sent to the patient as feedback using SMS message or healthcare center web site. Each patient can check and manage one's health state every day using the healthcare system and gain a recovery under the treatments from minor health problems.

As IT technology develops recently, medical equipment used in hospitals is demanding high performance. However, since the user visits different hospitals depending on the user's situation, the medical information treated at the hospital is distributed among the hospitals. In this paper, we propose a model to efficiently integrate the health care information of the users stored in the hospital in order to collect the healthcare information of the users who visited the different hospitals. The proposed model synchronizes users' healthcare information collected from personal wearable devices to collect user - centered healthcare information. In addition, the proposed model performs integrity and validity check related to user's healthcare information in a database existing in a cloud environment in order to smoothly share data with the healthcare service center. In particular, the proposed model enables tree - based data processing to smoothly manage healthcare information collected from mobile platforms.

This paper implemented the u-Healthcare Context Information System (HCIS) supporting ubiquitous healthcare by using location, health and titrating environment information collected from sensors/devices equipped in home for healthcare home service. The HCIS is based on the Distributed Object Group Framework (DOGF), a management model which can customize distributed resources, and manages various context information, applications and devices as a group in healthcare home environment, as one more logical units. Also, this system provides continuous healthcare multimedia service considering a resident's location using Mobile Proxy, and the healthcare context information through Context Provider to a resident in home. For verifying execution of our system, we implemented the seamless multimedia service based on resident's location and the prescription/advice and schedule notification/alarm service as healthcare applications in home. And we showed the executing results of healthcare home service by using service device existed in the residential space on which the resident is located according to the healthcare scenario.

본 연구의 목적은 모바일 헬스케어 앱의 사용자 경험 요인을 분석하여 제안하는 데 있다. 의료 관련 앱은 주로 의료 서비스 제공자 중심의 기능으로 디자인되어 개인의 서비스 접근성이 낮으며, 데이터 활용에 대한 고려가 부족하다. 개인이 주도적으로 건강 데이터를 활용하기 위해서는 개인 - 건강 데이터 커뮤니케이션을 고려한 앱 개발이 필수적이며, 이와 관련된 사용자 경험을 평가하는 도구가 필요하다. 먼저 문헌 조사를 통해 사용 편의성, 사용 만족도, 정보 구조, 유용성, 정보 품질, 심미성 6가지 사용자 경험 요인을 수집하였다. 이후, '나의건강기록' 앱을 대상으로 사용자 심층인터뷰를 진행하여 모바일 헬스케어 앱 사용자 경험에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 심층인터뷰 결과, 사용자 경험 요인에 정보의 이해용이성 요인이 새롭게 도출되었다. 정보의 이해용이성은 건강 정보를 알기 쉽게 제공하여, 사용자들이 어려움 없이 정보를 이해할 수 있는 능력을 의미하고 건강정보이해능력과 관련이 높다. 각 도출된 요인은 정보 주체(사용자)의 편의성, 활용성, 유지율을 높일 수 있는 모바일 헬스케어 앱을 디자인하는 데 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose an patient monitoring system which is suitable for mobile healthcare system. The mobile healthcare system is using portable device such as smartphone and it consists of small computing device. The mobile healthcare system is carry out same performance with desktop computer. We designed medical message structure based on TinyOS to transmit patient's biometric data on the smartphone of medical team, patient and family over the mobile carrier environment, and ported successfully in HBE-Ubi-ZigbeX using NesC. And We confirmed reliable transmission of biometric data on the smartphone by implementing the Android OS based patient information monitoring application to check the status of patient for medical team, patient and family.

The purpose of this study is to empirically verify how UI usability of mobile healthcare applications affects the perception of technostress and continuous use of elderly users. Through this, the effect of UI usability of mobile healthcare applications on technostress and continuous use intention was demonstrated for 199 people aged over 60. As a result, all four sub-factors of UI usability had a significant effect on technostress, and the magnitude of the influence was found to be in the order of content, process, design, and system. On the other hand, it was found that technostress had a significant effect on the intention of continued use. Through the above results, a UI design strategy that can lead to continuous use by relieving the technostress experienced by the elderly was suggested. This provides academic and practical implications for the future development and service direction of mobile healthcare applications for the elderly.
