As the ARRA enacted recently in the United States, the interest in EHR systems have been increased in the field of medical industry. The passage of the ARRA presents a program that provides incentives to office-based physicians and hospitals adapting the EHR systems to guarantee interoperability with various medical standards. Thanks to the incentive program, a great number of EHR systems have been developed and lots of office-based physicians and hospitals have adapted the EHR systems certified by CCHIT. Keeping pace with the rapid changes in the market of healthcare, some enterprises try to push in to the United States healthcare market based on the experience acquired by developing EHR systems for hospitals in Korea. However, the developed system must be customized because of the different medical environment between Korea and the United States. In this paper, therefore, we design and develop an integrated EHR platform to guarantee the interoperability between different medical information systems based on medical standard technologies. In the developed platform, an integrated system has been composed by integrating various basic techniques such as data transmission standards and its methods, medical standard terminologies and its usage, and knowledge management for medical decision-making support. Moreover, medical data can be processed electronically by adapting an HL7 interface engine and the terminologies for exchanging medical information and the standardization of medical information. We develop SeniCare, an EHR system for supporting ambulatory care of the office-based physicians, based on the platform, and we verify the usability of the platform by confirming whether SeniCare satisfies the criteria of "meaningful use" issued by CMS or not.

Recently, the number of elderly living alone suffering from loneliness and depression is also increasing significantly due to the rapid aging of the population and nuclear families. In this paper, we propose a smart aging system that increases life satisfaction by providing the elderly with the optimal service tailored to the elderly with the help of IT according to their residential environment and health status. It is possible to provide an advanced customized support system for the elderly by fully utilizing IoT, AI, and Metaverse techniques not only for the elderly who want to live an active life in society but also for the elderly who need care in a nursing hospital. The proposed system provides human satisfaction by providing social connection in real space and virtual space in accordance with the residential environment and health status to the elderly suffering from loneliness in hospital (hospital care) facilities and at home. This paper proposes a new path for future-oriented welfare policy for the elderly by providing a user-customized smart aging system by combining AI and Metaverse technology with a rapidly changing social environment.

임상 프로토콜은 의료 서비스의 질을 향상시키는데 매우 중요한 수단 중 하나이다. 하지만 대부분의 임상 프로토콜이 텍스트 기반으로 되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 텍스트 기반의 임상 프로토콜들이 실행 가능한 형태로 시스템화가 되었더라도 치료를 하는 전문의의 관점에서만 기술되어 왔다. 한편 최근의 임상 연구는 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 서비스를 이용한 환자 개인의 맞춤형 의료서비스에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이와 같은 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 환경에서는 환자가 병원에서 뿐만 아니라 시간과 장소의 제약을 받지 않고 휴대용 단말기나 진단기기를 이용하여 효과적으로 의료 서비스를 제공 받을 수 있기 때문에 전문의뿐만 아니라 환자와 시스템도 헬스케어에 참여를 하게 된다. 따라서 전문의 중심의 임상 프로토콜 기술로부터 참여자 중심의 임상 프로토콜 기술이 절실히 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 전문의, 환자, 그리고 시스템의 역할에 따라 프로토콜 상에서 수행되어야 할 태스크들과 참여자들의 상태정보를 태스크 튜플 형태로 표현하였다. 하지만 태스크 튜플 기반의 표현 방법은 임상 프로토콜올 직관적으로 이해하는 데는 한계 있어 이러한 단점을 보완한 패트리 넷 기반의 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 프로토콜 기술 방법을 제안한다.

시간이 부족한 현대인과 보살핌이 부족한 고령화 인구의 증가로 인해 비교적 가벼운 질병을 방치해 더 큰 고통을 겪는 경우가 발생하여 직접 병원에 가지 않고 자신의 건강 상태를 파악할 수 있는 시스템의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 하지만 질병의 특성상, 증상의 차이와 구분에 의해 같은 질병이라도 다른 치료와 예방이 필요하고 다른 질병으로 세부 도출될 가능성이 있다. 따라서 증상의 차이를 고려하지 않고 단순한 증상의 선택만으로 도출된 결과는 상황을 더욱 악화시킬 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ART2 알고리즘을 이용하여 질병을 도출하고 증상의 차이를 구분하기 위해서 애매한 증상의 정도를 퍼지 소속 함수로 표현하고 퍼지 추론 방법을 적용하여 더욱더 정확한 질병 상세를 도출 할 수 있는 개선된 자가진단 시스템을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 전문의에게 분석을 의뢰한 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 자가진단 시스템 방법이 이전의 방법보다, 지능형 자가 보조 진단 시스템으로서 사용자에게 더욱 효과적인 도움을 줄 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.

eCall system assists traffic accident victims by connecting emergency rescue institutions with accurate accident information, helping them to identify the on-site situation in the event of a traffic accident. The purpose of this paper is to develop a Korean eCall system that reflects the requirements of domestic emergency rescue institutions and to analyze the expected effects through an integrated demonstration. The results of an integrated demonstration indicated that the communication success rate between the eCall IVS and the call center was 99.25%, and the average location information error was 1.2 m. In particular, it has been confirmed that the average location information error is less than 21.6 meters, as assessed by the Korea Communications Commission when evaluating the accuracy of domestic emergency rescue location information. When the eCall system was introduced, it was confirmed that the time from traffic accidents to hospital arrival could be shortened by 3 m 38 s for highways and 1 m 22 s for general roads. By it to traffic deaths from 2005 to 2022, it was analyzed that the number of fatalities decreased by 82,662, resulting in a reduction of approximately social costs.

The attending system is a medical system that allows doctors in clinics to use the extra equipment in hospitals-beds, laboratory, operating room, etc-for their patient's care under a contract between the doctors and hospitals. Therefore, the system is very beneficial in terms of the efficiency of the usage of medical resources. However, it is necessary to develop a strong support system to strengthen its weaknesses and supplement its merits. If doctors use hospital beds under the attending system of hospitals, they would be able to check a patient's condition often and provide them with nursing care services. However, the current attending system lacks delivery and assistance support. Thus, for the successful performance of the attending system, a networking system should be developed to facilitate communication between the doctors and nurses. In particular, the nursing records in the attending system could help doctors monitor the patient's condition and provision of nursing care services. A nursing record is the formal documentation associated with nursing care. It is merely a data repository that helps nurses to track their activities; nursing records thus represent a resource of primary information that can be reused. In order to maximize their usefulness, nursing records have been introduced as part of computerized patient records. However, nursing records are internal data that are not disclosed by hospitals. Moreover, the lack of standardization of the record list makes it difficult to share nursing records. Under the attending system, nurses would want to minimize the amount of effort they have to put in for the maintenance of additional records. Hence, they would try to maintain the current level of nursing records in the form of record lists and record attributes, while doctors would require more detailed and real-time information about their patients in order to monitor their condition. Therefore, this study developed a system for assisting in the maintenance and sharing of the nursing records under the attending system. In contrast to previous research on the functionality of computer-based nursing records, we have emphasized the practical usefulness of nursing records from the viewpoint of the actual implementation of the attending system. We suggested that nurses could design a nursing record dictionary for their convenience, and that doctors and nurses could confirm the definitions that they looked up in the dictionary through negotiations with intelligent agents. Such an agent-based system could facilitate networking among medical institutes. Multi-agent systems are a widely accepted paradigm for the distribution and sharing of computation workloads in the scientific community. Agent-based systems have been developed with differences in functional cooperation, coordination, and negotiation. To increase such communication, a framework for a multi-agent based system is proposed in this study. The agent-based approach is useful for developing a system that promotes trade-offs between transactions involving multiple attributes. A brief summary of our contributions follows. First, we propose an efficient and accurate utility representation and acquisition mechanism based on a preference scale while minimizing user interactions with the agent. Trade-offs between various transaction attributes can also be easily computed. Second, by providing a multi-attribute negotiation framework based on the attribute utility evaluation mechanism, we allow both the doctors in charge and nurses to negotiate over various transaction attributes in the nursing record lists that are defined by the latter. Third, we have designed the architecture of the nursing record management server and a system of agents that provides support to the doctors and nurses with regard to the framework and mechanisms proposed above. A formal protocol has also been developed to create and control the communication required for negotiations. We verified the realization of the system by developing a web-based prototype. The system was implemented using ASP and IIS5.1.

Today's healthcare, intelligent robots, smart home systems, and car sharing are already innovating with cutting-edge information and communication technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things, the Internet of Intelligent Things, and Big data. It is deeply affecting our lives. In the factory, robots have been working for humans more than several decades (FA, OA), AI doctors are also working in hospitals (Dr. Watson), AI speakers (Giga Genie) and AI assistants (Siri, Bixby, Google Assistant) are working to improve Natural Language Process. Now, in order to understand AI, knowledge of mathematics becomes essential, not a choice. Thus, mathematicians have been given a role in explaining such mathematics that make these things possible behind AI. Therefore, the authors wrote a textbook 'Basic Mathematics for Artificial Intelligence' by arranging the mathematics concepts and tools needed to understand AI and machine learning in one or two semesters, and organized lectures for undergraduate and graduate students of various majors to explore careers in artificial intelligence. In this paper, we share our experience of conducting this class with the full contents in http://matrix.skku.ac.kr/math4ai/.

As the internet technologies develop, the geographic information system environment is changing to the web-based service. Since geospatial information of the existing Web-GIS services were developed independently, there is no interoperability to support diverse map formats. In spite of the same geospatial information object it can be used for various proposes that is duplicated in GIS separately. It needs intelligent strategies for optimal replica selection, which is identification of replication geospatial information objects. And for management of replication objects, OMG, GLOBE and GRID computing suggested related frameworks. But these researches are not thorough going enough in case of geospatial information object. This paper presents a model of location service, which is supported for optimal selection among replication and management of replication objects. It is consist of tree main services. The first is binding service which can save names and properties of object defined by users according to service offers and enable clients to search them on the service of offers. The second is location service which can manage location information with contact records. And obtains performance information by the Load Sharing Facility on system independently with contact address. The third is intelligent selection service which can obtain basic/performance information from the binding service/location service and provide both faster access and better performance characteristics by rules as intelligent model based on rough sets. For the validity of location service model, this research presents the processes of location service execution with Graphic User Interface.
