독일, 프랑스, 영국 등 유럽 국가에서는 오래전부터 휴양을 통해 심신을 치유하는 휴양의학이 발달하였으며 휴양의학의 한 활동으로 해양의 자원과 기후환경을 활용한 해양치유산업이 발달하였다. 최근에는 국내에서도 고령화 시대가 도래함에 따라 해양치유산업에 대한 관심이 높아 지고 있으며, 정책적으로 해양치유산업 활성화를 위한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 정책에 맞춰 해양헬스케어산업을 해양분야 신산업으로 육성하기 위한 기초연구로 유럽의 해양치유단지 및 센터에서 실행하는 해양치유 활동 및 활용가능한 해양치유자원에 대한 조사와 분석을 바탕으로 해양핼스케어산업화에 대한 방안을 제시하였다.

Recently, the Personal Health Device(PHD) that measures various biometric data easily are highlighted for ensuring portability, scalability and interoperability among the device as well as needs for a standardization of managing information measured by. In this paper, we'd like to propose u-healthcare monitoring system that measure biometric data(Oxygen saturation, Body weight, ECG and Blood pressure) by PHD featured with transferring data into devices such as smartphone using Bluetooth Health Device Profile(HDP) based on the ISO/IEEE 11073.

Since COVID-19 began at the end of 2019, the wearing time of protective clothing used to prevent pathogenic bacteria and virus infection has increased, and the development of safe protective materials that are human-friendly and have antibacterial and antiviral functions has been required. In this study, we investigated the possibility of developing natural antibacterial protection materials using ethanol extract of the medicinal plant Zanthoxylum Piperitum DC. The antibacterial activity assay of the 80% ethanol extract of Z. piperitum DC leaves against various nosocomial infectious bacteria, using the disk diffusion method, showed that Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883, Salmonella typhimurium, and Aeromonas hydrophila are sensitive to the inhibitory action of the extract. The IC₅₀ values of the ethanol extract against S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, P. vulgaris and A. hydrophila were about 0.59 mg/ml, 0.50 mg/ml, 1.06 mg/ml, and 0.06 mg/ml, respectively. To determine whether the ethanol extract of Z. piperitum DC leaves can be applied to the development of antibacterial protective fabric, the ethanol extract was tested using a protective fabric from the KM Health Care Corp. using the JIS L1902-Absorption method. As a result, the bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity values of S. aureus ATCC 25923 and K. pneumoniae ATCC 13883 appeared to be more than 2.0 when treated with the ethanol extract at a concentration of 1% (w/v). Together, these results suggest that Z. piperitum DC leaves can be applied to develop natural antibacterial functional protective fabrics.
