Recently, the bio-healthcare market is enlarging worldwide due to various reasons such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, biometric measurement and analysis technology are expected to bring about future technological innovation and socio-economic ripple effect. Existing systems require a large-capacity battery to drive signal processing, wireless transmission part, and an operating system in the process. However, due to the limitation of the battery capacity, it causes a spatio-temporal limitation on the use of the device. This limitation can act as a cause for the disconnection of data required for the user's health care monitoring, so it is one of the major obstacles of the health care device. In this study, we report the concept of a standalone healthcare monitoring module, which is based on both triboelectric effects and electromagnetic effects, by converting biomechanical energy into suitable electric energy. The proposed system can be operated independently without an external power source. In particular, the wireless foot pressure measurement monitoring system, which is rationally designed triboelectric sensor (TES), can recognize the user's walking habits through foot pressure measurement. By applying the triboelectric effects to the contact-separation behavior that occurs during walking, an effective foot pressure sensor was made, the performance of the sensor was verified through an electrical output signal according to the pressure, and its dynamic behavior is measured through a signal processing circuit using a capacitor. In addition, the biomechanical energy dissipated during walking is harvested as electrical energy by using the electromagnetic induction effect to be used as a power source for wireless transmission and signal processing. Therefore, the proposed system has a great potential to reduce the inconvenience of charging caused by limited battery capacity and to overcome the problem of data disconnection.

Most recent birth rate at home raising children, only one has come out well. Accordingly, children born to parents is to have a strong interest, and healthcare (Healthcare) sector, while emerging as a new growth industry (Baby Care) Baby Care also increased the interest. Baby Care products until now the food, toiletries and clothing, etc. Although it advances the development of ubiquitous computing environment with the development of the healthcare industry, Baby Care Electronics products have been developed. Europe and the U.S. infant from another room deungeseoneun feeder. At this time SIDS infants to prevent this phenomenon often takes place in order to measure the status of children and away from parents to children, also can check the status of children was used to implement the Platform. In this paper, using the radio frequency real-time observation of data storage without the parents were determined only by the speed of the ARM11-based systems using the S3C6410 CPU and wireless WI-FI (IEEE8.2.11) technology to prevent sudden infant death using Platform for the implementation study was conducted.

WBAN은 사람이 착용하는 옷이나 인체 내부 혹은 외부에 있는 여러 장치들을 상호 연결하여 통신할 수 있는 근거리 무선통신 기술로서 2005년부터 IEEE 802.15 TG16에서 표준화가 활발히 진행되고 있다. WBAN표준은 근거리, 저전력, 고신뢰성 무선통신을 위한 표준화를 목표로 하고 있으며, 용도에 따라 전송속도가 수 kbps$\sim$수십 Mbps 범위로서 의료용뿐만 아니라 비의료용 분야에 활용된다. 의료용은 체내에 이식되는 이식형과 인체 주변에 부착되는 착용형 장치에 활용되며, 비의료용은 데이터 전달이나 게임 응용 등 다양한 엔터테인먼트 분야에 활용된다. 본 고에서는 IEEE 802.15 TGl6에 제안된 WBAN 응용서비스와 이들 서비스의 요구사항을 분석하고, 일반인이 언제 어디서나 이용 가능한 미래의 헬스케어 서비스를 제공하기 위한 WBAN 구조를 살펴보고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a practical authentication system based on Wireless Body Area Networks(WBAN) for U-healthcare medical information environments. The proposed authentication system is based on symmetric cryptosystem such as AES and is designed to not only provide security such as data secrecy, data authentication, data integrity, but also prevent replay attack by adopting timestamp technique and perform secure authentication between sensor node, master node, base-station, and medical server.

Wireless sensor network supporting healthcare environment should provide customized service in accordance with context information such as continuous location change and status information for people or movable object. In addition, we should consider data transmission guarantees a person's bio information and privacy security provided through sensor network. In this paper analyzes LEACH protocol which guarantees the dynamic self-configuration, energy efficiency through configuration of inter-node hierarchical cluster between nodes and key distribution protocol used for security for data transmission between nodes. Based on this analysis result, we suggested self-configuration routing protocol supporting node mobility which is weakness of the existing LEACH protocol and data transmission method by applying key-pool pre-distribution method whose memory consumption is low, cluster unit public key method to sensor node.
