In this paper, we proposed a model to evaluate confidence and satisfaction of health information web-sites visited by general health consumers. In order to propose the evaluation model, lots of foreign and domestic researches are investigated and analyzed. Based on these analyses, confidence and satisfaction standards for the model are proposed. A process for evaluation and a method for calculation of evaluation value by the standards are proposed, too. The proposed model can be utilized as a tool for analyzing conventional health information web-sites and can be utilized as check lists for developments in case of health information web-sites under construction.

최근 한국소비자보호원에서 발표한 2006년도 소비자 위해 정보 통계분석 결과에 따르면, 위해 발생 장소별로 볼 때 가정에서의 안전사고가 가장 많은 발생 빈도를 보이고 있다. 최근 3년간 위해발생 접수 건수 중 가정 내발생 비율 역시 2004년 3,069건(35.2%), 2005년 4,392건(36.1%), 2006년 7,348건(49.5%)로 계속 증가 추세를 나타내고 있다. 가정 내 위해의 발생 원인은 식료품 및 기호품, 토지 건물 및 설비, 특히 현관, 계단, 복도, 욕실 등에서의 추락이나 미끄러짐, 충돌 등의 사고가 대부분인 것으로 조사되었다. 연령별로는 10세 미만의 어린이(64.3%)와60세 이상의 노인(58.4%)들에서 가정 내의 사고가 다른 장소에 비해 높은 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 가장 안전한 장소로 여겨지는 가정에서의 이와 같은 경향은 대부분 기본적인 안전 점검에 주의를 기울이지 않거나 안전을 소홀히 생각하기 때문에 발생된다.

연구목적: 노인을 위한 건강정보 웹사이트들이 사용성과 접근성을 높이기 위해 지켜야 할 디자인 요소를 어떻게 반영하고 있는지 평가·비교함으로써 개선 방향을 제언하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 국내 및 미국에서 개발된 노인 대상의 건강정보 웹사이트를 각각 9개씩 선정하였다. 근거 기반의 웹디자인 지침서인 Make Your Website Senior Friendly: Checklist와 Research-based Web Design & Usability Guideline을 통합 수정하여 얻은 4개 영역의 평가 항목 48개를 적용해 두 명의 평가자가 선정된 총 18개 웹사이트를 평가하였다. 연구결과: '가독성' 영역 중 서체 선택, 줄 간격, 배경색과 글자색 선택 등은 양호하였으나 국내 웹사이트들 중에는 글자 크기가 조절되지 않는 경우가 빈번하였다. '정보의 표현과 구성' 영역에서 다수의 웹사이트들은 정보 배치 등이 우수하고 소비자 용어를 사용하는 노력을 보였다. 그러나 일부 국내 웹사이트들은 프린트 기능을 제공하지 않거나, 노인들의 저하된 인지 능력을 배려하려는 노력이 부족하였다. '미디어 사용' 영역에서 국내 웹사이트들은 글자 외에 다른 매체를 사용하는 빈도가 미국 웹사이트들에 비해 낮았고, 시청각 매체를 사용할 때는 동일한 내용을 문자로도 볼 수 있도록 하라는 권고안을 준수하지 않았다. '내비게이션과 검색의 용이성'에서는 메뉴나 링크의 명칭이 명확하며, 이용 중에도 쉽게 홈페이지로 돌아갈 수 있도록 구성되었다. 그러나 다수의 국내 사이트들이 사이트맵을 제공하지 않거나, 검색어의 철자오류 등에 대한 배려가 부족하였다. 결론: 국내 웹사이트들은 미국 웹사이트들에 비해 노인들의 사용성과 접근성을 높이는 것으로 밝혀진 연구 근거들을 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있었다. 노인 대상의 인터넷과 웹을 활용한 교육이 지속적으로 증가할 것이므로, 그 효과성을 높이기 위해 간호사들은 정보의 질 뿐만 아니라 디자인 측면의 중요성을 인식하고 실천할 수 있어야겠다.

Nowadays, living standard is improved and people have high interest to the personal health care problem. Accordingly, people desire to know the personal physical condition and the related medical treatment. Thus, there is the necessary of the personalized medical treatment, and there are many studies about the automatic disease diagnosis and the related services. Those studies focus on the particular disease prediction which is based on the related particular data. However, there is no studies about the medical treatment prediction. In our study, national health data based medical treatment predictor is built by using SVM, and the performance is evaluated by comparing with other prediction methods. The experimental results show that the health data based medical treatment prediction resulted in the average accuracy of 80%, and the SVM performs better than other prediction algorithms.

We investigated consumer perceptions of and purchase intentions for health foods. Data were collected from 454 adults over the age of 20 years living in Seoul and Gyeonggi province, from May 10 to June 5, 2010. Those that "hardly ever drink" (41.4%) were most prevalent in terms of drinking activity, whereas 80.8% of respondents did not smoke. Also, those who responded "hardly ever exercise" ranked highest; although 43.8% in fact exercised frequently. Of all respondents, 44.5% admitted to suffering slightly from stress. A total of 59.5% of respondents opined "I am healthy but I do worry about health", and "exercise" topped the list of approved (37.2% of respondents) health care methods. We also found that 83.5% of respondents claimed to have tried health foods, whereas in the case of having no taking experience, 60% had not purchased such foods because, in their view, this was unnecessary. The extent of concerns about health foods scored 3.09, and the level of purchase intentions for health food was high, with a score of 3.40. Therefore, all of government, producers, distributors, and academic researchers must provide consumers with accurate and complete information, and need to collaborate in the development of consumer education programs on health foods. This will enhance consumer interest in such foods, and empower logical choices.

This study aims to diagnose the issues arising from the relationship between the out-of-pocket maximum in health insurance and private indemnity health insurance and propose policy tasks for institutional improvement. Through literature research, the study analyzed the damage to consumers caused by the non-payment of refunds exceeding the out-of-pocket maximum and the changing role of indemnity insurance due to the strengthening of health insurance coverage. The results confirmed that unilateral interpretation of insurance clauses and incomplete sales practices infringe upon consumer rights, and that insurance premiums do not decrease despite the reduction in coverage of indemnity insurance. Therefore, the study emphasized the urgency of institutional improvements such as rationalization of product structure, transparency of risk rate calculation, and reinforcement of consumer information provision, as well as the need for social consensus on the rational division of roles between health insurance and private insurance. This study is significant in that it provides policy implications for the developmental reorganization of the healthcare system.

The health of feet is connected with individual's health and affects a man's activity. Shoes need to be designed to protect feet and to absorb the impact of land. Thus, design, comfort and economical efficiency are important factors of shoes. Consumers can choose suitable shoes for their feet in off-line shopping. However, in on-line shopping, because they can not wear shoes, compare to the off-line shopping, there are many problems in internet shopping. First, consumers can get limited information of shoes because they must search information of purchase without other's help. Second, because consumers can not get important information such as design, size and a comfort of wearing, they can not make a careful decision. Above these, the solution of user-oriented internet shopping is development of new type of prototype which is accessible to user and to offer visual information through 3D virtual reality.
