Lately, in accordance with the improvement of living standards and income level, concern about the health is continuously increasing and the desire is also becoming diverse. This study focused on the user's acceptance of converged smart u-health system. For the study purpose, this paper analyzed the health and technology factors influencing the user's acceptance on u-health system. Thus this study was carried out by using covariance based SEM in order to test the model fitness and path coefficient. As the results, the health management experience among HPM factors and perceived usefulness among TAM had a positive effect on attitude and the perceived usefulness had a direct effect on behavioral intention.

To build effective u-healthcare system based-on smart-cloth, design of hardware and software modules for suitable smart-cloth is needed. And a gateway smart-phone program for sensing signal's collecting and processing is needed to send sensing bio-signal from smart-cloth to sever. To do this, it is an important to design and describe modules well for having no difficult problems when implementing later. Also, if medical team do not monitor bio-signals sending from smart-phone frequently and these signals' change values which diagnose automatically due to building expert system based on rules/facts is informed for users, it will be an useful u-healthcare system. Therefore in this paper, by presenting design method of u-healthcare system hardware and software modules based on smart-cloth which prepared these functions, this design method is showed for applying a common use u-healthcare system's production usefully.

In this paper, a sensor network system for providing u-health services is suggested and is implemented. It steadily collects biological data of resident people and automatically detects emergency situations. LEID (Lighting Embedded Information Device) nodes are the most essential component of the sensor network. They embed sensor network technology into lightening devices which are indispensable to most living spaces. To verify practicality of the proposed u-health system, a prototypical system is realized in the Smart Home Industrialization Support Center at Kookmin University, and is tested within many practical circumstances. The proposed u-health system can be used at various places where many patients are continuously cared.

As an integrated technology with IT and biomedical sciences, U-health offers various healthcare services without time and space limit. In order to make a proper diagnosis, doctors need two key technologies: biosignal measurement and high reliability communication technologies. In this paper, we introduce an implementation process of a bio signal system with using an electrocardiography(ECG) sensor, video, global positioning system(GPS), communication module and micro controller unit(MCU).

The aim of this study is to find the factors affecting attitude on u-health system using Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM) and also, analyze the moderating effect of gender variable in research model. To assess the proposed research model based on HPM, this study adopted Partial Least Square (PLS) method using Smartpls 2.0 version for the evaluation of research model. Thus, this study used survey questionnaire in order to collect useful data to potential users of u-health system. As a result of analysis, the examined variables explain 29% of variance on attitude to use of the u-health system. According to the PLS analysis, self efficacy and perceived benefits showed significantly positive relationship on attitude to use of u-health system. In addition, on the moderating effect of gender variable, female had more interest on self efficacy for positive attitude on use of u-health system.

All medical information system stakeholders and the environment exists. Medical information systems for development in these environments and non-functional requirements, functional requirements and quality goals are to be met. In order to achieve these goals in a variety of ways currently being made to develop information systems and various applications are emerging. However, the process of developing these health information systems meet the basic requirements and does not consider that from the point of view should not be separate. This study of the development of health information systems related to quality measurement indicators for the analysis software architectures, and medical information, information quality evaluation of service quality information associated indicators evaluation are offered. This way of associated indicators for the quality of the output sum and analyze the trends in software architecture u-Healthcare should be available for assessment. Quality score compared with pre-set goals for achievement and satisfaction levels of analysis further support the cause excerpt field use in analysis and improvement is possible.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the moderating effect of health privacy information on the relationship between the factors that affect the behavioral intention of the usage of u-health system have. Therefore, as a research hypothesis in TRA (Theory of Reasoned Action), self-efficacy and perceived usefulness will have a positive effect on the behavioral intention of the u-health system, and in the path, that personal information factors have an effect on each path. This study used the PLS-SEM methodology to verify the proposed research model. As a result of the analysis, this study showed that the moderating effect of health personal information in the presented model affects to some extent by the increase of R2 explanatory power. However, it was found that it was more consistent with the role of the independent variable rather than the moderating influence on the perceived usefulness.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors on behavioral intention in u-health system using Health Promotion Model(HPM) by Pender [11]. This study used PLS-SEM(Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling) method for verification of the proposed model and conducted the analysis with sample data of 216 respondents. As a result of the analysis, a path from individual experience to personal health and also, path from self-efficacy to behavioral intention had the highest influence in the research model. Also, it was confirmed that the only factor that affect health promotion behavior was 'self-efficacy' variable in u-health system. However, in the future time, additional research is needed in that this study has small sample data and needs more clear definition on u-health system.

대표적인 수면장애로 수면 무호흡증과 코골이가 있는데 수면다원검사를 통해 진단할 수 있다. 그러나 수면다원검사는 비용적, 공간적, 시간적 제약이 수반되기 때문에 이를 해결하려는 연구가 대두되고 있다. 수면장애와 그 요인을 검출하기 위해 가속도센서, 소음센서, 온도센서, 습도센서로 구성된 측정 장치에서 획득한 데이터와 건강, 운동, 생활습관 데이터를 활용하여 어떤 요인에 의해 수면장애의 정도가 악화되고 개선되는지를 사용자에게 제공하는 의사결정 지원시스템을 설계한다. 또한 홈 게이트웨이와 뷰어 역할에 스마트 폰을 사용하여 일반인이 보다 쉽게 측정하고 측정결과와 추론결과를 지속적으로 확인할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다.
