This study was aimed at investigating the activities of a badminton club and designing smart wear to prevent sports injuries during badminton club activities. Everyone is familiar with sports in an aging society and clubs are gradually developing. Popular badminton club activities lead to frequent sports injuries, especially ankle injuries, which are a serious problem that hampers members' participation in sports. Therefore, this study aims to propose a prototype design for smart wear to prevent sports injuries, including ankle injuries. First, we identified the characteristics and considerations of members of badminton clubs, and the components of smart wear to prevent sports injuries. Second, members of the badminton clubs and an elite badminton player participated in a survey on the issues and requirements associated with wearing smart wear. Third, usage scenarios for smart wear were created based on literature reviews and the user assessment lists. Fourth, a prototype of the smart wear to prevent sports injuries including ankle injuries was created based on the scenarios. With the proposed smart wear, members of badminton clubs who may require assistance with sports injuries will be able to monitor said injuries, as well as their health condition, as avatars in visual games through a smart terminal. The visual game system will provide easier access to information about sports injuries and health. This smart sportswear will allow members of badminton clubs to prevent sports injuries and review their performance. This study can be utilized to design smart wear to prevent sports injuries and monitor sporting activities or bio-signals.

In modern society, awareness of diabetes is growing with an increase in the elderly population and an increase in the incidence of diabetes. In particular, diabetic patients can suddenly develop hypoglycemic shock; therefore, it is important to measure blood glucose periodically. However, self-monitoring blood glucose meters are difficult to carry and it is difficult to manage the value. To solve these problems, the blood glucose measurement system has been developed as a sensor attached to the body or as one of the functions of smart devices, but it has not been commercialized. In this paper, we propose a smart band with a blood glucose measurement function. If a user enters a schedule to measure blood glucose level, such as before/after meals, in the app, he/she can receive a measurement alarm from the band. The user can measure the blood glucose level at any time using the band, and the measured value is transmitted and managed by the app including behavior history such as before/after meals and the time. This will help the user to manage, diagnose and prevent health problems. The system has been tested using two medical device-certified products, and each blood glucose measurement value has been confirmed to be more accurate.

This paper proposed a heart attack predictive monitoring system using QRS pattern of ECG for wearable healthcare. It detects abnormal heart pattern with a ECG (X, Y) coordinate pattern DB on wearable monitoring smart watch. We showed the acute heart failure prevention system and method with a proposed scheme. Especially, It proved the method which can do first aid in gold time through abnormal heart analysis with a digital ECG(X, Y) pattern information when acute heart failure occurs.

In the healthcare system, the human neck(cervical spine) is one of the most important organs. The area that supports the human head is the cervical spine. Nowadays, we are often overworked our neck to calls with the smart phone or see the monitors. In this paper, we investigate the abnormalities of lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical spine. The normal angle of lateral flexion is $20^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ and the normal angle of rotation is $50^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. If this angle is below normal and we feel pain, there is something wrong with the cervical spine. In addition, learn how to measure the lateral flexion and rotation of the neck or cervical spine, and also to find out how to treat an abnormality. We also look at how to prevent more than lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical spine. The experiment was carried out with 100 people in their 50s, men and women, to find out whether the neck is abnormal.

If we use a smartphone to analyze and detect falling, it is a huge advantage that the person with a sensor attached to one's body is free from awareness of difference and limitation of space, unlike attaching sensors on certain fixed areas. In this paper, we suggested effective posture analysis of smartphone users, and fall detecting system. Suggested algorithm enables to detect falling accurately by using the fact that instantaneous change of acceleration sensor is different according to user's posture. Since mobile applications working on smart phones are low in compatibility according to mobile platforms, it is a constraint that new development is needed which is suitable for sensor equipment's characteristics. In this paper, we suggested posture analysis algorithm using smartphones to solve the problems related to user's inconvenience and limitation of development according to sensor equipment's characteristics. Also, we developed fall detection system with the suggested algorithm, using hybrid mobile application which is not limited to platform.

As the developing of the information communication technology, more and more devices are with the capacity of communication and networking. The convergence businesses which communicate with the devices have been developing rapidly. The IT convergence communication is viewed as one of the next frontiers in wireless communications. In this paper, we analyze detailed security threats against M2M(Machine to Machine), intelligent vehicle, smart grid and u-Healthcare in IT convergence architecture. We proposed a direction of the IT convergence security that imbedded system security, forensic security, user authentication and key management scheme.

맥압증폭은 대동맥과 말초기관과의 혈압기능 평가 및 심혈관 질환을 예측하는 주요 매개변수로 나이와 관련이 높다. 그러나, 기존의 맥압증폭을 구하기 위해서는 관혈적인 방법으로 대동맥압을 측정하거나 혹은 전달함수와 같은 복잡한 대동맥압 추정 알고리즘을 구현하여 측정하여야 한다. 그러나, 유헬스를 활용한 스마트케어 환경에서 복잡한 알고리즘은 오히려, 계산량을 높이고, 시스템가격을 높일 수 있으므로, 최대한 단순화된 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 맥압증폭을 주파수영역의 에너지 관점으로 맥압증폭을 접근하였고, 대동맥압 추정없이 추정할 수 있는 새로운 지수를 제안한다.

최근 저출산 문제로 인한 노동인구의 감소로 노동력이 감소하며 인건비가 증대되고, 의료 기술의 발달과 고령화로 인해 병실의 수용 인원이 증가했다. 특히 중환자, 거동이 불편한 환자, 노인 환자와 같은 간병인의 도움과 의료 종사자의 지속적인 진료의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 환자의 상태를 일정 시간마다 확인해야 하는 불편함, 간병인 고용의 필요로 기본적인 병원비와 인건비가 증가되고, 의료업계 종사자들의 부담도 늘어나는 추세이다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 중앙 관제실에서 환자의 상태를 실시간으로 확인하고 자동으로 병실을 관리하는 시스템을 도입하고자 한다. 정보를 실시간으로 전달함으로써 의료진의 부담을 줄이고 위기 상황에 즉각적으로 대응하며, 자동 병실 환경관리와 환자 편의를 위한 의료 환경을 지원하는 시스템을 제안한다.

Many people feel uncomfortable when fitness center is crowded with people in all at the same time. So we propose exercise machines reservation system for resolving the problem that people feel uncomfortable in fitness center. In this paper, we design and implement the exercise machines reservation system that allows for users to reserve fitness equipments by using a NFC-based smart band. A user can reserve exercise machine using some reservation device. he or she will receive notifications through the smart band about when and which machine she or he will have to use. The user can do exercise with a recommended program, and can use any equipments conveniently even in a peak time because no one is waiting. Also, a manager can save cost through the efficient facility management and provide customized member management. Additionally, manager don't need to purchase other exercise machines or computers.
