This study analyzes medical clothing trends and provides future directions for research. Based on 38 patents in Korea and 221 patents in the USA, the contents of patents were analyzed by year, subject, clothing type, and specific content. The results are as follows. The number of patent applications in Korea and the USA was found to be increasing. The distribution by subject was in the order of patient clothing, medical personnel clothing, and materials for medical clothing. Clothing of various types such as upper garment, bottoms, pajamas, gowns, and jump-suits were observed in patient clothing comparatively. However, gowns occupied a higher portion in medical personnel clothing. Patents in the USA related to patient clothing included patient clothing that provided examination convenience, monitoring patient clothing, patient clothing revising appearance, and patient clothing that assisted in movement. Korean patents related to patient clothing include functional patient clothing, patient clothing providing examination convenience, clothing for Alzheimer patients, and monitoring patient clothing. Many of the patents related to medical personnel clothing were about surgery gowns and mainly concerned with developments related to devices that allows putting on gowns while maintaining a sterile state and functionality to prevent liquid permeation. Regarding materials for medical clothing, there were many applications on breathability and liquid impermeable materials.

복약기는 개인의 건강 증진 및 질병 예방을 위한 개인건강기기(Personal Health Device: PHD) 중 하나로 정해진 스케줄에 따라 약을 배출하는 기기이다. 복약기를 통해 수집되는 복약자의 복약상태(복약 여부, 복약 횟수 등)는 의료진 및 보호자에게 복약자를 관리하기 위한 중요한 정보가 될 수 있으므로 모니터링 서버에게 실시간 전송하여 의료진 및 보호자가 분석할 수 있도록 하는 것이 바람직하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 복약기 내에 탑재되어 사용자의 복약상태를 원격 모니터링 서버에게 실시간 전송하는 복약상태 전송 에이전트를 제안한다. 복약상태 전송 에이전트는 단말기 관리에 관한 산업계 표준인 Open Mobile Alliance(OMA) Device Management(DM) 프로토콜에 따라 복약 상태 메시지를 생성 및 전송한다. 복약 상태 메시지를 수신하는 모니터링 서버로는 OMA DM 기반의 상용 서버를 사용하였다. 이는 추후 본 논문의 복약상태 전송 에이전트를 확장하여 복약기 원격 관리 용도로 적용하기 위함이다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 복약상태 전송 에이전트의 구현 결과 및 모니터링 서버와 연동성 검증 결과를 제시한다. 검증 결과 제안된 에이전트는 복약기로부터 복약상태를 수집한 후 OMA DM 프로토콜에 따라 복약상태를 정상적으로 전송함을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 본 논문의 복약상태 전송 에이전트는 복약상태의 원격 전송뿐 만 아니라, OMA DM 을 준수하는 기존의 모바일 단말기 관리 서버들을 복약상태 모니터링 서버로 활용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

The purpose of this study was to find a method for improving children's preferences during dental treatment in relation to dentist's attire. For this study, 650 children asked to participate in a survey about the attire of the dentists. The results of the survey were as follows: 1. The survey found that gowns were preferred to ordinary clothes for both male and female dentists, 67.7 to 87.6% for male and 59.2 to 75.9% for female dentists. 2. For male dentists, the typical long white gown was the most preferred style, followed by a long gown, and a short jacket type, and then a short operating gown. 3. For female dentist, the typical long white gown was also most preferred, followed by a long gown, a short jacket type, and then a short operating gown. 4. For dental hygienists, the most preferred attire style was a two-piece wear with pants, followed by one-piece, skirt suit, shirts with cartoon characters, and apron. However, the difference among these attires was insignificant 5. White was the preferred color for gown. 6. Children prefer gown with no-pattern.

Currently, the method of user-follwoing in intelligent cooperative robots usually based in vision system and using Lidar is common and have excellent performance. But in the closed space of Corona 19, which spread worldwide in 2020, robots for cooperation with medical staff were insignificant. This is because Medical staff are all wearing protective clothing to prevent virus infection, which is not easy to apply with existing research techniques. Therefore, in order to solve these problems in this paper, the ultrasonic sensor is separated from the transmitting and receiving parts, and based on this, this paper propose that estimating the user's position and can actively follow and cooperate with people. However, the ultrasonic sensors were partially applied by improving the Median filter in order to reduce the error caused by the short circuit in communication between hard reflection and the number of light reflections, and the operation technology was improved by applying the curvature trajectory for smooth operation in a small area. Median filter reduced the error of degree and distance by 70%, vehicle running stability was verified through the training course such as 'S' and '8' in the result.

The aim of this study was to explore the work experiences of hospital-based child protection team staffs who had intervened the child abuse cases resulting in death. In order to gather the relevant data, all 62 child protection teams registered nationwide were contacted and 5 teams which had actually experienced at least one child abuse deaths were found. The staffs (hospital social workers and doctors) who belonged to these teams were intensively interviewed, and the interviewed materials were thoroughly analyzed by qualitative research methodology. The result showed that treatment delay was the most important obstacle to prevent unnecessary deaths of the victims. Some abused victims were sent to the hospital only after their physical condition had so gravely deteriorated. In other cases, custodians' bland denial or refusal to treatment made impossible the timely intervention to save the child lives. Nevertheless, child protection team staffs' reasonable suspicion and active intervention could sometimes uncover the hidden truth that child abuse was the actual cause of death. These incidents were regarded as a team's meaningful accomplishments by team members. Meanwhile, lack of awareness and excessive burden about the role and responsibility of mandated reporter precluded medical staffs' active involvement. Also, substantiating the abuse suspicion by securing positive evidences was found to be a facilitatory factor for the rapid public intervention. On the basis of these results, several practice and policy implications were discussed to improve the early detection process, securing evidence and uncovering the actual cause of death in child abuse deaths.
