We propose a specific ubiquitous sensor network (USN) architecture as a promising candidate of the future telemedicine model which offers the patient's mobility and more cost-efficient medical care system. This new USN architecture is a kind of cell-based secure sensor network supporting encrypted multi-casting communications and it has a hybrid routing protocol by adapting flat routing to hierarchical routing. For the patient's privacy and the protection of patient's vital information from eavesdropping, we adopt a lightweight PKI-based secure communication protocol with some formal presentation on its core procedure.

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.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크를 이용해서 환자 모니터링 시스템(PVMS : Patient Vital Sign Monitoring System)을 구현하였다. 최근 의료 서비스에 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술을 적용한 사례들이 늘고 있다. 기존 사례에서는 센서 전지 수명, 이동 통신비, 응급상황 대처 등 개선할 부분이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 점들을 해결하기 위해 환자의 체온 및 맥박 생체신호를 측정하기 위해 소형센서를 사용하였다. 또한 생체신호 전달을 위해 초저전력 무선통신 노드를 사용하여 언제 어디서나 환자 모니터링이 가능하고 의료진에게 응급상황을 신속하게 전달할 수 있는 웹기반 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 병동환자뿐만 아니라 활력증후를 상시로 모니터해야하는 원거리 환자를 위한 의료시스템 구축에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Recently, it has been increasing attention on health care that can provide remote medical service to an aging population, people with disabilities and people having a medical checkup periodically due to increasing people's average life span. Home health care system should provide reasonable cost, on-line basic health status monitoring, embedded basic medical helper function and intuitive interface. In this paper, we developed a prototype of 3G networked pulse measurement system that can detect pulse signal information from subject's fingertip using the optical sensor. The prototype had been analyzed in terms of abnormalities, feeling, timing and pulse counting accuracy. Finally we evaluated its suitability.

Recently, owing to the development of ubiquitous, RFID and local area wireless communication technology, many studies on the system which can measure biomedical signals are being carried out. In this paper, we have designed and implemented an u-Healthcare system based on sensor network using biomedical signal measurement sensors such as ECG, blood pressure, and heartbeats. The biomedical signals from sensor nodes pass through the gateway and are finally transmitted to a healthcare renter. The acquired biomedical signals are processed in the healthcare center and the analyzed results are transmitted to the patients to improve patients' health using either kinesitherapy or dietary treatment.

무선 센서 네트워크는 최근 대두되고 있는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 연구에 힘입어, 광범위하게 설치되어 있는 유무선 네트워크 인프라에 상황인지를 위한 다양한 센서 디바이스를 결합하여 감지된 환경 데이터를 응용서비스와 연동하는 기술이다. 기본적으로 홈/빌딩 시큐리티, 사회기반 안전시설, 기계의 고장 진단, 의료 분야 등의 실세계의 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 다루고자하는 실종 아동에 대한 문제는 어제 오늘의 이야기가 아니다. 미아 발생률은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며 장기 미아의 발생 역시 증가하고 있다. 따라서 미아 방지를 위해 새로운 서비스들이 소개되었으나 이용자의 경제적 비용 부담 증가와 같은 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 미아 찾기 시스템은 무선 센서 네트워크 기술 응용 중의 하나로서 미아가 발생 시에 아동이 장기 미아가 되지 않도록 효율적이면서도 빠르게 미아를 찾을 수 있도록 하기 위해서 개발되었다. RFID 리더기가 장착된 고정형 센서 노드와 이동형 센서노드가 RFID 태그를 지닌 아동의 정보를 얻어서 중앙 제어 서버로 데이터를 넘기면 태그 정보와 전송한 센서 노드의 위치, 전송 시간을 바탕으로 아동의 위치를 파악할 수가 있다. 미아 찾기 시스템은 이용자가 태그만을 지니면 되기 때문에 경제적 부담은 줄어 들 수 있다. 또한 상기 시스템으로 미아 찾기만이 아니라 주변 환경 감시등의 여러 응용에도 적용 시킬 수가 있다.

EPCglobal has proposed the EPC Sensor Network to efficiently integrate and interoperate the RFID and WSN technologies based on the international standard EPCglobal Network. However, it can not deal with the sensor data without EPS. Also, it does not provide enough management function for the sensor data only. This study proposes USN management system that can deal with these weaknesses of EPC Sensor Network. Not only that, it is suitable for the medical environment properly. In the medical environment, it is important for the medical information to be integrated and interconnected via the standard for medical data. This proposed USN management system is based on SIP-HL 7 and can send RFID and WSN data based on SIP(Session Initiation Protocol). It can be interconnected with the existing hospital information system and exchange the information. Also it can design and materialize SIP Interface based on HL7 that allows the medical information to be exchanged and sent.

With the development of technology, wireless sensor networks (WSN) are wireless networks of consisting a large number of small and low-cost sensors. Wireless sensor networks facilitate collaboration to achieve the perception of information collection, processing and transmission tasks in deployment area. They have various purposes such as military, disaster relief, medical rescue, environmental monitoring, precision farming and manufacturing industry etc. Therefore, technologies for data maintaining technologies in sensor network environment is one of essential parts of sensor networks. In this paper, we present the essential particulars about data management technology at wireless sensor network environments and propound the issues. Further, we could organize and develop a systematic approach in solving the issues.
