본 논문에서는 압력 온도 센서를 이용하여 수면자의 수면상태를 인식하고 이를 감지할 수 있는 수면상태 감지 시스템을 제안하였다. 기존의 수면상태를 측정하는 방법에 있어 문제점으로 들 수 있는 고가의 장비, 측정의 불편 등을 해소하기 위해 사용이 간단한 Straingage 타입의 압력센서와 프로브 타입의 온도센서를 이용하여 저비용의 효율적인 시스템을 구현 하였고, 수면 매트에 실세 적용하여 그 유효성을 평가하였다. 제안된 시스템은 압력 온도센서를 이용해 수면 매트부, 센싱데이터를 감지 수집하여 수신된 데이터를 증폭하는 수면상태 감지정보 시스템부로 구성되었다. 시스템 구축을 위해 먼저, 수면 매트부는 비접촉 방식의 압력 온도 센서를 사용하였고, 수면상태 감지정보 시스템부는 미세한 변화를 보이는 데이터를 차등 증폭기 원리를 이용하여 증폭하였다. 센서가 수면자에 의해 변환할 때 발생되는 아날로그 신호를 검출 증폭한 후 감지하는 시스템이다. 본 연구에서 세안한 수면상태 감지 시스템을 이용하여 개인생환 습관인 수면시간을 실시간으로 감지하고 데이터화하여 수면자의 수면 상태를 파악하여 건강한 수면을 위한 방법을 권고할 수 있다. 향후 감지된 데이터를 이용해 실시간으로 가족들의 수면상태를 알릴 수 있는 헬스케어 모바일 응용 서비스로도 활용이 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship among the depression, physical condition, daily living activities, and sleep state among old people at elderly care facilities. The subjects include old people aged 65 or older residing at an elderly care facility. At elderly care facilities, the depression of old people was related with the state of vision, mastication ability, quality of sleep, and sleep state. The degree of relation was high in the group with a poor vision, the one with a bad condition of teeth, the one that considered their quality of sleep to be poor, and the one with somnipathy. Their depression had negative correlations with age and positive ones with mastication ability and assessment of quality of sleep. At elderly care facilities, the depression of old people was highly connected with the state of vision, mastication ability, sleep state, and hearing ability. In short, the depression of old people at elderly care facilities is highly connected to the health state perceived individually. The findings point to the importance of close interest in individual health state and management of old people in poor vision, mastication ability in healthcare and nursing intervention.

Using switches and sensors informing the current on or off state, this paper suggests a sleeping control and remote monitoring system that not only can recognize the sleeping situations but also can control for keeping an appropriate sleeping situation remotely, And we show an example that this system is applied to the healthcare sleeping mat, Our system comprises the following 3 parts: a part for detecting the sleeping situations, a part for extracting sensing data and sending/receiving the relating situated data, and a part controlling and monitoring the all of sleeping situations. In details, in order to develop our system, we used the touch and pressure-sensitive sensors with On/Off functions for a purpose of the first part, The second part consists of the self-developed embedded board with the socket based communication as well as extracting real-time sensing data. And the third part is implemented by service modules for providing controlling and monitoring functions previously described. Finally, these service modules are implemented by the TMO scheme, one of real-time object-oriented programming models and the communications among them is supported using the TMOSM of distributed real-time middleware.

본 연구는 손목 착용형 활동 측정기로부터 수집된 활동 강도 값을 기반으로 사용자의 수면 상태를 파악하는 방법을 제시한다. 수집된 활동 강도 값은 하루 전체에서 1분 단위로 손목의 움직임의 크기에 따라 측정되는 값으로 수면과 활동 시 그 값의 차이를 나타낸다. 본 연구는 활동 강도에 따라 수면 상태를 검출하고 검출된 수면 상태의 지속시간에 기반을 두어 수면 상태를 보정한다. 3명의 사용자로부터 하루씩 수집된 활동 강도 값에서 검출된 수면 시간은 실제 수면 시간에 대비하여 약 99.35%의 정확도를 갖는다.

폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증 환자 중 가장 위험한 2~8세 아동들의 지속적인 수면 상태를 모니터링하는 것은 중요하며, 야간에 수면 상태를 모니터링 하는 것은 보호자에게 스트레스와 일상생활에 지장을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 아동들의 수면 상태를 측정하기 위한 스마트폰 기반의 실시간 호흡 모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 아동의 수면 중 자세 변화로 인한 잦은 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡을 지속적으로 모니터링 함으로써 수면 상태 모니터링 및 위험 상황을 인지할 수 있으며, 보호자에게 편안한 수면을 제공한다.

This study examined the fitness of a path model for the relationship among the perceived health status, pain, sleep pattern, and quality of life in the elderly. The data was collected by questionnaires to 276 elderly in J city. The collected data was analyzed using PASW 18.0(win) and AMOS 18.0(win) program. The model fit indices for the hypothetical model were in good agreement with the recommended levels ($x^2$/DF=1.393, p=.077, GFI=.971, TLI=.983, CFI=.989, RMSEA=.038). Based on the constructed model, the quality of life was influenced directly by the perceived health status, pain and sleep pattern, indirectly by the perceived health status and pain. Pain was influenced directly by the perceived health status, and sleep pattern was influenced directly by pain. These results highlight the need for the development of intervention strategies for the promotion of perceived health status in the elderly to improve the quality of life.

Sleep is an essential factor for living a healthy life, but most modern people complain of poor sleep. For these people, as the need for a means to simply evaluate and manage the quality of sleep increases, devices that can check the sleep state at home without monitoring by an examiner are being developed. The smart sleep mask, which is the subject of this usability test, provides bio-signal monitoring while sleeping so that you can conveniently measure and manage your sleep state for yourself. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability and safety of the smart sleep mask, to find and prevent potential factors related to errors in use that may occur, and to develop the comfort and safety of this product. As a result of the formative evaluation of the sleep mask prototype, it was reported that it was difficult to turn on the power and check the results, and that the sleep mask was not comfortable to wear. Different opinions were presented on the size and weight of the sleeping mask by people in different age groups.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of sleep pattern on regular exercise and to examine mediating effect of subjective health status in the relationship between sleep pattern and regular exercise of older people. For the purpose of the study, older people aged over 65 years old who participated in 2020 Social Survey conducted by Statistics Korea were analyzed. Multiple regression analyses were used and significance of mediating effect was examined using Sobel test for 4,567 older people. Results of the analyses showed that sleep pattern had a significant effect on regular exercise of older people. That is, having an appropriate sleep increased the possibility of doing regular exercise, so the direct effect of sleep pattern on regular exercise was found. Sleep pattern had a significant effect on subjective health status, so older people having an appropriate sleep perceive their subjective health status more positively. As for the mediating effect, subjective health status had partial mediating effects in the relationship between sleep pattern and regular exercise of older people. Results of this study show that sleep pattern of older people should be considered in intervention for improving practicing regular exercise.

Objectives: The object of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of sleep deprivation on mood states of normal adults using a subjective scale and an objective scale, minimizing the effect of other factors other than that of sleep deprivation. Methods: Seventy volunteers were first participated in this sleep deprivation schedule, and 36 of them completed this experiment. The subjects and the control group members were all in their early 20's (mean $age=20.8{\pm}1.35$ vs $20.6{\pm}1.10$) and in good health. A log was checked by these subjects from a week before the laboratory study started. Drugs, alcohol and beverages containing any caffeine had been prohibited for a week before and during sleep deprivation periods. The study was performed only in summer to control other factors like sunlight, temperature and moisture. Before this experiment, the subjects had slept adequately for a week at least. On day 1 of the experiment the subjects got up at 6 a.m. and stayed in a sleep laboratory without sunlight or external noises. They could only go about their daily routines. They were forbidden to have a nap and be drowsy. GVA (Global Vigor and Affect) and MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) were checked 11 times. The data was analysed focusing on the changing mood states. Results: The mood during sleep deprivation became worse as the sleep deprivation time progressed. Especially 20 hours ($GA=59.25{\pm}8.06$, $MADRS=3.43{\pm}1.25$) and 40 hours ($GA=38.83{\pm}9.22$, $MADRS=6.08{\pm}1.46$) after sleep deprivation, there were significant changes compared to the control group ($MADRS=6.08{\pm}1.46$ vs $1.07{\pm}1.18$, p<0.001). Conclusions: While controlling factors other than sleep deprivation might have had some influence on mood changes, significant mood changes during sleep deprivation were observed. The mood states became worse as the sleep deprivation progressed.
