인구의 고령화와 의료서비스 수요의 증가로 한의학의 이론을 기초로 한 의료기기 개발이 증가하고 있다. 개발한 의료기기의 임상적 유효성 확보를 위한 다양한 임상시험들이 수행되고 있으며, 이 과정에서 다양하게 수집되는 정보들의 체계적인 관리의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한의학의 대표적인 진단 방법인 맥진을 기기화 한 맥진기를 이용하여 임상시험을 진행하는데 있어 환자의 의학적 정보, 맥진기의 측정 정보들을 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 데이터베이스를 설계하고 구축하였다. 구축된 데이터베이스는 임상시험에 대한 다양한 정보 및 측정된 정보의 질관리를 통해 기존 알고리즘 검증 또는 새로운 알고리즘 개발 시 효율적인 대응이 가능하고, 임상 데이터의 통제 측면에서도 여러 장점들을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 이종의 맥진기나 다른 생체신호 측정기와의 정보 공유가 가능한 통합 데이터베이스 관리 시스템 구축을 위한 한의 의료기기 데이터 표준안 구성에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives : This study aimed to analyze characteristics of the Korean Medicine users aged 19-39 years, the determinants of Korean Medicine use and effects of Korean Medicine use experience on behavioral intentions among youths. Methods : We studied Korean Medicine Utilization and Herbal Medicine Consumption Survey(2017) data set by complex-sample survey data analysis. In order to derive the characteristics of younger users, Rao-scott χ² test and t-test were conducted. Through multiple logistic regression model adjusted by general characteristic variables, the determinants and behavioral intentions of the Korean Medicine utilization among youths were derived. Results : Fist of all, young users and non-users have significant differences in socio-demographic characteristics and perception on Korean Medicine. Among the general characteristic variables, region, age, marital status, occupation, chronic disease, and private health insurance plans had an effect on the Korean Medicine use in young people(Model II). And adjusted by general characteristic variables as control variables, awareness of Korean Medicine and perception of safety of herbal medicine were deduced as determinants of Korean Medicine use(Model III). Secondly, Korean Medicine use experience increased intentions to use and recommend Korean Medicine services(Model IV-1, 3). Conclusions : In order to increase the use of Korean Medicine among young people, Korean Medicine institutions should strive to increase users' satisfaction, and public health insurance coverage for Korean Medicine services needs to be expanded.

Parkinson's disease is one of the typical neurodegenerative disease and it is caused by the destruction of substantia nigra in brain leading to lack of dopamine secretion, and it presents 4 major motor symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, stiffness, postural instability. Furthermore, it causes many non-motor symptoms such as anosmia, REM sleep conduct disorder, orthostatic hypotension, dementia and autonomic ataxia such as lack of adjusting blood pressure, hyperhydrosis, constipation. Dopaminergic therapy is the most commonly used strategy, but long term treatment of levodopa induce various adverse effects. Thus, many people are focusing on new therapies other than established therapies, and there are many tries and approaches with paradigm shift. Our medical team was able to get 4 cases of PD patients who are hospitalized in our hospital, treated by Whole Body Gi-Hyeol Therapy consisting of acupuncture therapy, herbal therapy, and mental therapy, and their conditions improved in perspective of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS), Heart Rate Variability(HRV), and Quality of life. Among all 4 cases, UPDRS score and quality of life score is gotton better, and among 2 cases SDNN, RMS-SD, TP, LF, HF scores are finely increased. And PDQ-39 score which shows quality of life is also improved. However, in spite of these improvements and positive results, there were no meaningful improvement in a hurt from a fall which is important to the aged, muscular atrophy which causes bone fracture and SMI(Skeletal Muscle Mass Index) which is indicator of osteoporosis. Thus, supplementary treatment about Whole Body Gi-Hyeol Therapy such as more active nutrition intervention, safe and effective kinesitherapy is needed, and from now on continuous case reports and systematic clinical research which has control group must be carried out.

전통의학이 국가 의료체계에 편입되어 있는 국가는 한국 중국 대만 등이나 한국과 중국이 대표적이다. 본 연구는 두 나라의 전통의학 정책을 비교한 것이다. 이를 위해 전통의학 정책의 분석 틀을 최초로 제시했다. 한의학과 중의학의 공통점은 발전과정이 국가정책에 의해 규정되었고, 동일한 패턴을 보인다는 점이다. 차이점은 국가의료체계의 차이 혹은 발전정도에 따른 것이다. 중의학은 의료체계상 보다 활성화되어 있고, 중의, 중서결합의 및 민족의학까지를 다루어 범주가 크다. 한국은 저출산, 고령사회에서의 역할을, 중국은 응급 및 중대질병의 예방치료체계 구축에 관심이 크다. 한국은 해외환자 유치를 추진하고, 중국은 해외진출을 도모한다. 한국은 한약재 유통과 안전성을 강조하고, 중국은 생산기술을 강조한다. 한국은 의료기기 육성정책이 시도되고 있으나 중국은 연구개발 단계이다. 양국 공통으로 천연물 신약개발을 강조하나, 한국은 응용산업에서 한방화장품을 강조하고, 중국은 응용산업정책이 약하다. 중국은 전통의학의 문화와 이론을 강화하고 있으나 한국은 이러한 정책은 없다. 한국은 국제기구와 의료봉사에 초점을 맞추고, 중국은 국가 간 실질협력에 관심을 두고 있다.

Current Korean medical system is evaluated as inefficient and the government is planning a new medical development plan to provide guaranteed life-long medical service and more efficient medical system Korean medicine also needs to participate as the primary medical provider and strengthen public recognition. The needs for active participation are essential to prevent irrational medical policies and Korean medicine can exercise medical merits. When the doctors of Korean medicine are recognized as the primary medical provider, not only social rights are served but also provide medical service to less privileged sector of the society. This calls for the establishment of system for attending physician and public health doctor from Korean medicine. Another important issue is the establishment of public medical service at the government level. Doctors of Korean medicine should be posted at the national health center and other public hospitals. Revision of the current policies on Korean medicine must be made to yield concrete outcome of the public Korean medicine service as well as cooperation between the conventional allopathic medical community and the Korean medical community
