As the hospital environment has been increasingly changed into a ubiquitous environment, the application services for the hospital environment are also faced with new requirements. In particular, the emergence of various mobile devices and the introduction of a wireless sensor network technology have accelerated the realization of the u-healthcare. The multi-agent paradigm has been introduced for satisfying both the integration of information and the various application scenarios established from various environments. This paper describes the software structure and u-applications for u-hospital information system based on ubiquitous environments. And it suggested the construction of a multi agent based distributed framework for supporting u-hospital information system. The suggested framework includes the JADE and distributed object group framework. And it implemented u-application services for supporting doctors and nurses, which provides the patient's health information and ward environment information. Especially, it is using a dynamic security mechanism on the security situation, which has not been emphasized in existing researches, and this paper shows the results for each user through the GUI.

As changed the clinical environment, the interest on u-Healthcare service and systems has been increased. The ubiquitous healthcare(u-Healthcare) systems are constructed at the integrated environment that consists of various devices and systems basically such as personal health devices(PHDs) measuring body signals, information aggregators gathering the data transmitted from PHDs through wireless technology, and health information systems storing and managing personal health information transmitted from the information aggregators. International standards such as IEEE 11073 and HL7 have been specified for the interoperability of PHDs and health information systems, but the research on u-Healthcare systems that were developed and applied in the real clinical environment by adopting the standards was rarely conducted. Therefore, we developed an u-Healthcare system which can manage personal health information, such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and body composition, based on health information exchange standards. Moreover, we verified the stability of the developed system through clinical trial in patients with endocrine disease at the Kyungpook National University Hospital, and listed problems occurred during clinical trial and found their solutions.

Domestic slope related measuring system are mainly depending on manual and visual measurements and technical development for natural slopes is poor since the technology is developed focusing on artificial cut slopes. In addition, landslide with a debris flow is occurring frequently due to recent climate abnormally and heavy rains but early forecasts and prevention of disasters are in poor condition. Therefore, construction of ubiquitous sensor network (USN) capable of detecting dangers of landslide for rapid countermeasures is necessary. In this study, new measurements devices and measurement management techniques in compliance with domestic conditions are prepared by establishing ubiquitous based landslide monitoring system and standards of measurement management.

Based on the rapid development of the computer network technology, the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) was developed to enable us to have access to the communication environment anywhere and anytime without the need for recognizing computers or networks. Moreover, with the increasingly high interest on individual health, the USN technology is being applied to diverse sectors for healthcare and disease prevention. In this paper, a system was designed and implemented using the USN-based RF communication for doctors and nurses who care patients in the hospital to easily measure and control the physiological data on blood pressure and blood sugar. In addition, a database was designed using MS SQL database to store and manage the blood pressure and blood sugar data, which were passively or actively measured from patients. Using the results of this study, the physiological data of patients can be managed in real time and emergency situation can be instantly addressed. It is expected that the healthcare service can be improved and the paradigm of healthcare service environment can be changed.

Healthcare is a field where ubiquitous computing is most widely used. We propose a mining-based healthcare multi-agent system for ubiquitous computing environments. This proposed scheme select diagnosis patterns using mining in the real-time biosignal data obtained from a patient's body. In addition, we classify them into normal, emergency and be ready for an emergency. This proposed scheme can deal with the enormous quantity of real-time sensing data and performs analysis and comparison between the data of patient's history and the real-time sensory data. We separate Association rule exploration into two data groups: one is the existing enormous quantity of medical history data. The other group is real-time sensory data which is collected from sensors measuring body temperature, blood pressure, pulse. Proposed system has advantage that can handle urgent situation in the far away area from hospital through PDA and mobile device. In addition, by monitoring condition of patient in a real time base, it shortens time and expense and supports medical service efficiently.

In this paper, we proposed a multi-agent based healthcare system (MAHS) which is the combination of medical sensor module and wireless communication technology. This MAHS provides wide services to mobile telemedicine, patient monitoring, emergency management, doctor's diagnosis and prescription, patients and doctors, information exchange between hospital workers in a long distance. Also, MAHS is connected to Body Area Network (BAN) and a doctor and hospital workers. In addition, we designed and implemented extended JADE based MAHS that reduces hospital server's burden. Agents gather, integrate, and deliver the collected patient's information from sensor, and provide presentation in healthcare environment. Proposed MAHS has advantage that can handle urgent situation in the far away area from hospital like Islands through PDA and mobile device. In addition, by monitoring condition of patient (old man) in a real time base, it shortens time and expense and supports medical service efficiently.

유비쿼터스 환경중 상황에 따라 필요한 행위를 컴퓨터가 수행하여 사용자 각각의 특성에 따라 서비스를 할 수 있는 가장 좋은 것이 헬스케어 분야이다. 기존 헬스케어 시스템은 클라이언트/서버 환경으로 많은 환자들의 생체 신호 데이터가 실시간으로 서버로 전송될 때 서버의 일정 수용 한계를 넘어서게 되어 심한 경우 서버가 다운되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 이는 긴급한 환자의 처리에 대처하지 못하는 심각한 상황을 초래 할 수 있다. 또한 생체 신호를 보내는 모바일 디바이스의 자체적으로 지원되는 자원 부족으로 환자와 병원 중앙 서버와의 원활한 커뮤니케이션의 제공을 보장하지 못하는 단점도 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 중간에서 환자와 병원사이의 중간 역할을 하는 써로게이트 시스템과 멀티 에이전트 시스템을 제안한다. 멀티에이전트 시스템은 중앙집중적 부하를 줄이고 유연성 있고 복잡한 처리가 가능하도록 한다. 이는 하나의 에이전트로 해결하지 못하는 복잡한 문제의 해결을 여러 에이전트의 협동을 통해 작업을 수행한다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 JADE 를 기반으로 하는 에이전트 기술을 적용하였다. 모바일 디바이스에 인가되지 않은 접근을 막기 위한 수단으로서, 모든 메시지는 써로게이트를 통해 전달된다. 또한 써로게이트를 통해 로컬 및 원격의 에이전트를 쉽게 다룰 수 있다

Nowadays u-healthcare which is very sensitive to the character of user's information among other ubiquitous computing field is popular in medical field. u-healthcare deals extremely personal information including personal health/medical information so it is exposed to various weaknees and threats in the part of security and privacy. In this paper, RFID based patient's information protecting protocol that prevents to damage the information using his or her mobile unit illegally by others is proposed. The protocol separates the authority of hospital(doctor, nurse, pharmacy) to access to patient's information by level of access authority of hospital which is registered to management server and makes the hospital do the minimum task. Specially, the management server which plays the role of gateway makes access permission key periodically not to be accessed by others about unauthorized information except authorized information and improves patient's certification and management.
