The Healthcare supply chain management has recently attracted attention as a critical tool to improve service quality and reduce healthcare operational cost. Improving large hospital supply chain performance has become increasingly important as healthcare organizations strive to improve the service quality, while reducing the ever-increasing healthcare cost. This paper explores the strategic areas where the traditional supply chain management may enhance the overall performance of the large hospitals. Based on the literature review and relevant case analysis, this paper argues that the visibility, information sharing and standardization are the critical factors for deploying the supply chain principles, and also proposes the supply chain framework for efficient planning and execution, the use of RFID-enabled system for the end-to-end traceability of medical products, and cross-docking system for minimizing the inventory level in the hospital supply chain. Implications of the study findings are discussed.

Recently, medical expenses are increasing because of the accelerated aging phenomenon, thus study for the medical service of high quality and reduction of medical expenses should be continued as yet. Especially, U-health is performed by intelligent medical service which is derived by smart devices, wireless network, sensing technology and it could be more extensible in the medical fields as time goes on. On this study, we analyze message transmission structure of HL7 standard and will suggest improved processing methodology of HL7 message.

USN은 하드웨어와 유 무선 통신기술이 서로 네트워크로 연결되어 사물이나 환경의 정보를 획득하고 가공해 유용한 정보로 창출하는 것을 목표로 하고 있으며, 그 중 u-Healthcare는 의료 서비스 질 향상이라는 필요성에 의해 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 기종 센서 네트워크에서 획득한 데이터를 추상화하고 상황에 맞는 서비스를 제공하는 지능형 미들웨어를 설계하였다. 설계된 미들웨어를 사회적 이슈가 되고 있는 IT의료 분야에 적용해서 헬스 케어 모니터링 시스템을 구현했다. 센서를 통해 온도, 습도, 조도, 심박 수, 체온을 측정해서 실시간으로 관리하고 모니터링 하는 기능을 지원한다. 또한, 실시간으로 전달되는 바이오 정보를 통합 관리하는 부분에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행했다.

This paper has implemented a ubiquitous healthcare system that can measure and check the electrocardiogram of a human body in anytime and anywhere. The implemented prototype is composed of electrocardiogram measurement terminal, data gathering base node, and medical information server. The implemented node constructs a sensor network using the Zigbee protocol and the TinyOS is installed on each node. The data gathering base node is linux-based node that can transfer sensed medial data through wireless LAN. And, the medical information server stores the processed medical data and can promptly notify the urgent status to the connected medical team. Through experiment, we confirmed the possibility of ubiquitous healthcare system based on sensor network using the Zigbee.

현대사회는 인구의 고령화에 따른 노인인구의 증가 및 만성질환자의 증가에 따른 의료수요 급증이 예상되고 있다. 하지만 현재의 의료서비스 인프라는 증가하는 의료수요를 충족하기에는 역부족이 따르며, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기위해 정보통신기술과 헬스케어기술이 결합된 유비쿼터스 헬스케어기술이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일상생활 중 움직임에 따른 활동 상태를 판별하여 운동량의 모니터링을 통한 건강관리뿐만 아니라 낙상 등과 같은 응급상황의 모니터링이 가능한 시스템을 구현하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 3축 가속도센서를 이용하여 인체의 움직임에 따른 활동 가속도 신호를 계측할 수 있는 센서 및 시스템을 구현하였다. 또한 계측된 센서신호를 PC또는 휴대용 단말기로 무선전송하기위하여 무선센서네트워크 기술을 적용한 데이터 전송시스템을 구현하였다. 계측된 가속도 신호로부터 활동 상태를 판별하기위해 다층 퍼셉트론 알고리즘을 적용한 분류알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 분류알고리즘의 성능평가를 통해 실제 활동상태 모니터링에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

The use of a mobile agent in hospital environment offers an opportunity to deliver better services for patients and staffs. Furthermore, medical errors will be reduced because M-health system helps to verify the medical process. Optimized security protocols and mechanisms are employed for the high performance and security. Finally, a challenge in the near future will be converge the integration of Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) with security protocols for applying the hospital environment. We proposed secure authentication and protocol with Mobile Agent for ubiquitous sensor network under healthcare system surroundings.

Compresses sensing (CS) technique is beneficial for reducing power consumption of biopotential acquisition circuits in wireless healthcare system. This paper investigates the maximum possible compress ratio for various biopotential signal when the CS technique is applied. By using the CS technique, we perform the compression and reconstruction of typical electrocardiogram(ECG), electromyogram(EMG), electroencephalogram(EEG) signals. By comparing the original signal and reconstructed signal, we determines the validity of the CS-based signal compression. Raw-biopotential signal is compressed by using a psuedo-random matrix, and the compressed signal is reconstructed by using the Block Sparse Bayesian Learning(BSBL) algorithm. EMG signal, which is the most sparse biopotential signal, the maximum compress ratio is found to be 10, and the ECG'sl maximum compress ratio is found to be 5. EEG signal, which is the least sparse bioptential signal, the maximum compress ratio is found to be 4. The results of this work is useful and instrumental for the design of wireless biopotential signal monitoring circuits.

In this paper, using the Android-based mobile platform designed and integrated U-healthcare systems for personal health care system is proposed. Integrated Biometric systems, electrocardiogram (ECG), oxygen saturation, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature, such as measuring vital signs throughout the module and signal processing biometric information through wireless communication module based on the Android mobile platform is transmitted to the gateway. Biometric data transmitted from a mobile health monitoring system, or transmitted to the server of U-healthcare was designed. By implementing vital signs monitoring system has been measured in vivo by monitoring data to determine current health status of caregivers had the advantage of being able to guarantee mobility respectively. This system is designed as personal health management and monitoring system for emergency patients will be helpful in the development looks U-healthcare system.

In smart healthcare service, the accurate and prompt emergency detection and notification are very critical to patients' lives. Since these detection and notification of emergency situation are usually performed by the medical staffs, it is difficult to simultaneously support many patients in real-time. This article presents a methodology for emergency bio-data transmission for smart healthcare using personalized emergency policy. It consists of three steps: In step 1, the bio-data is collected by wireless body area network. In step 2, the decision on emergency is made using personalized emergency policy. In step 3, the emergency message including the health condition information is converted between IEEE 11073 PHD message and HL7 CDA. By doing this, the emergency status of the individual bio-data collected from wireless body area network is detected automatically using personalized emergency policy. When the emergency is detected, the quick emergency rescue service can be provided to the patient by delivering to the emergency notification and the emergency bio-data. We have verified the service and functions of the proposed system architecture by realizing it.

Due to technological developments and the joint effect of both new social and economic needs and constraints, telemedicine is expanding rapidly through a variety of applications. Especially, owing to the rapid aging of society and increasing the wish for well being life, we take interest in health care services for people with special needs who wish to remain independent and living in their own home. We have focused on tole-monitoring to real-time medical signal and environment factor which is an influence on medical signal. We monitor the six signal(medical signal and environment factor), and transmit that signal to computer on bluetooth network. We get the information after using the some digital signal processing system, and display that information on the real-time monitoring system. We developed the measurer as portable type in older to non-restrained monitor.
