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.

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.

This paper is proposed the hardware structure and signal processing method of the RF-Tag based on heart sound to develop the mobile biomedical information device for the u-healthcare system. The RF-Tag in this study is consisted of a skin temperature sensor, a dynamic microphone for heart sound detection, Bluetooth communication to transmute healthcare data, and pulse period detection algorithm with adaptive gain controller. We experimented to evaluate performance of the RF-Tag in noisy environments. In addition, the RF-Tag has shown the good performance in the results of experiment. If the proposed methods in this study apply to design the u-healthcare device, we will be able to get the exact health data on real time in mobile environments.

Due to the convergence between digital devices and the development of wireless communication technology, bit-signal sensor miniaturization, building an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) which is a digital version of a paper chart that contains all of a patient's medical history and the information of Electronic Health Record (EHR), Ubiquitous healthcare (u-Healthcare) that can monitor their health status and provide personal healthcare service anytime and anywhere. Also, the appearance of cloud computing technology is one of the factors that accelerate the development of u-healthcare service. However, if the individual information to be used maliciously during the u-healthcare service utilization, leads to serious problems directly related to the individual's life because if it goes beyond the level of simple health screening and treatment, it may not provide accurate and reliable healthcare services. For this reason, we analyzed a variety of security issues related to u-healthcare service in cloud computing environment and described about directions of secure health information sharing system construction. In addition, we suggest the future developmental direction for th activation of u-healthcare industry.

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.

고령화 사회의 웰빙트렌드와 생활습관에 의해서 의료서비스는 병원 중심의 치료서비스에서 개인과 의료인이 상호 긴밀하게 협력하여 질병의 예방, 관리, 건강증진 등을 제공하는 u-의료서비스 트렌드로 급속히 변화되고 있다. 최근 Biotechnology (BT), Information technology (IT)의 발달은 다양한 소형 센서 및 기기 개발을 가능하게 하고 있으며, 이렇게 측정한 환자의 데이터가 병원과 의사에게 전달되도록 함으로써 언제 어디서나 검사와 진료가 가능하도록 하는 유헬스케어 시스템이 대두되고 있다. 만성질환에 대한 유헬스케어 분야는 이제 단순한 의료차원이 아니라, BT 및 IT부문에 각각 굉장한 산업적 파급효과를 일으킬 수 있어 차세대 성장동력사업으로 발전할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.
