-Healthcare란 건강관련 정보를 시간과 공간의 제약 없이 수집, 처리, 전달, 관리할 수 있게 해줌으로써 원격지 의료서비스를 제공하는 것을 말한다. 본 논문은 USN을 활용하여 원격에서 측정된 의료정보를 수집하여 서버에 전달하는 미들웨어 시스템을 시뮬레이션 했다. 헬스 케어기기에서 측정된 데이터를 USN을 통해 원격지의 서버로 전송하는데, 데이터의 전송에는 근거리 무선통신기술인 Zigbee를 사용하였다. 이러한 과정에서 헬스 케어기기와 서버사이에 미들웨어를 두어 측정된 이진코드 데이터를 텍스트데이터로 변환하여 서버의 헬스케어 시스템에 저장한다. 서버에 저장된 환자들의 의료정보는 의료진이 활용할 수 있도록 했다. 또한, 미들웨어 시스템에서는 데이터의 필터링을 통해 불필요한 데이터를 삭제해 서버의 부하를 줄여서, 외부 어플리케이션의 질의에 대한 정보제공을 용이하게 했다.

This paper proposes healthcare bathing system for improving the multisensory function and not washing. We designed various types of bathtub for developing bathing system. This system consists of whirlpool bathtub for multisensory stimulation, a cover of bathtub with visual-auditory stimulation function, a small size PC for main control, touch panel, digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), color-changeable LED mood lighting system for improving visual sensibility and speaker. We investigate the effects on autonomic nervous system during bathing with healthcare bathing system for improving the multisensory functions. To analysis physiological parameter, body temperature, blood pressure, intraocular pressure and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured before, during and after bath using healthcare bathing system. Experiments were performed on partial immersion bath and the water temperature was kept $39{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. The body temperature and the heart rate variability of the subject were measured every 5 minutes before, during, and after the bath. In analysis of HRV, the parasympathetic nerve increased from starting bath and decreased after 15 minutes. So the subjects felt comfortable at 15 minutes after starting bath. Blood pressure decreased to 16mmHg maximumly however pulse increased. Bath using healthcare bathing system for improving the multisensory functions affects positively the circulation of the blood. From this results, it leaves something to be desired in evaluation of serviceability and physiological analysis using the healthcare bathing system, however, we expect to analyze more clearly the relationship between the serviceability of product, physiological change and sensibility by various physiological parameters.

Recently, a health care need according to the increase of an advanced age population is increasing. The requirement about a health care monitoring is increasing rapidly from general people as well as patient. The requisition about a medical treatment technique and a medical treatment information service is the trend to be expanding. That can be possible minimizing the inconvenience of the patient to take a medical service and continuously monitoring the status of the patient to take a health care service. This paper discusses an implementation of wireless physiological signal monitoring system for health care. The system are composed of the sensor node and monitoring program. The sensor node has the physiological signal measurement part and the wireless communication part. The remote monitoring system has a monitoring program that are communicating the sensor node using bluetooth. The sensor node measured the ECG, pulse wave, blood pressure, Sp02, and heart rate.

High blood pressure is main today's adult disease and existing blood pressure gauge is not possible for real-time blood pressure measurement and remote monitoring. But real-time blood pressure monitoring u-healthcare system makes effect health management. In my paper, for monitoring real-time blood pressure, an architecture of real-time blood pressure monitoring system which consisted of wrist type-blood pressure measurement, smart-phone and u-healthcare server is presented. And the analog circuit architecture which is major core function for pulse wave detection and digital hardware architecture for wrist type-blood pressure measurement is presented. Also for software development to operate this hardware system, UML analysis method and flowcharts and screen design for this software design are showed. Therefore such design method in my paper is expected to be useful for real-time blood pressure monitoring u-healthcare system implementation.

Recently, service based on internet is inter-connected and integrated with a variety of connection. This kind of internet of things consist of heterogenous devices such as sensor node, devices and end-to end equipment which used in conventional protocols and services. The representative system is healthcare system. From healthcare appliance used by IoT, patient and doctor can utilize healthcare information with safety and high speed management. It is very convenient management to operate mobility. But it induced security and vulnerability issues because it has small memory capacity, low power supply and low computing power. This made impossible to implement security algorithm with embedded engine based on hardware. Nowdays, we can't realize conventional standard algorithm due to these kinds of reasons. From the critical issues, it occurred security and vulnerability issues. Therefore, we analysed and compared with conventional method and proposed techniques. Finally, we evaluated security issues and requirement for end-to-end point healthcare system based on internet of things.

This paper proposes the U-healtcare middleware that is based on mininumCORBA. Ubiquitous healthcare system is generated by combining the technologies of computer system and medical system. This makes available that the person can receive medical treatment anywhere, anytime at on-line. The Healthcare devices are connected to network system as wire or wireless internet. So, the computer system can gather the vital information from the person at the real time and transfers the information to the server system that processes the medical information. When a medical doctor makes a diagnosis they can get more information about the patient by using the information within the server. Users would like to receive more services in the ubiquitous healthcare system than the traditional medical system. And in U-healthcare system, every healthcare devices and the users have to be connected to network system and the information from them has to be integrated. U-Home Healthcare middleware I proposed in this paper will do everything that I mentioned above.

Studies on human-centered services are approaching their highest peak with the emergence of a new concept of the network environment, a ubiquitous environment. Among these ubiquitous service technologies, services related to health care are very closely related to the current social environment. In this paper, With social aging and changes in ubiquitous IT environment, studies on health care, which is among the essential application services and which has been defined as a key application technology, and studies related to it have been conducted. In addition, healthcare services, which are essentially applicable to the ubiquitous environment, were suggested by analyzing existing healthcare studies and drawing from them the requirements for such. This paper proposes management protocol for serious case except from health care research. This system is constructed database using RFID, it has location information. It provides procedures to consistently monitor the status of patients and process the outcome in real-time.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) technology provides a variety of medical and healthcare solutions to assist detection and communication of body conditions. However, data reliability inside WSN might be influenced to healthcare routing protocol due to limited hardware resources of computer, storage, and communication bandwidth. For this reason, we have conducted various wireless communication experiments between nodes using parameters such as RF strength, battery status, and deployment status to get a optimal performance of mobile healthcare routing protocol. This experiment may also extend the life time of the nodes. Performance analysis is done to obtain some important parameters in terms of distance and reception rate between the nodes. Our experiment results show optimal distance between nodes according to battery status and RF strength, or deployment status and RF strength. The packet reception rate according to deployment status and RF strength of nodes was also checked. Based on this performance evaluation, the optimized sensor node battery and deployment in the developed our mobile healthcare routing protocol were proposed.

개인 휴대단말기로부터 측정된 생체정보 데이터가 PHR에 데이터베이스화되기 위해서는 응용 계층 표준 프로토콜인 HL7 CDA 표준에 따라야 한다. 하지만 국제 표준 HL7 CDA는 병원 시스템 간 의료정보 전달을 위한 프로토콜이기 때문에 개인 건강 기기로부터 측정된 생체 정보가 IEEE 11073 PHD 표준에 준하여 전달하더라도 HL7 CDA 프로토콜과 연동될 수 없다. 즉, 모바일 단말기 기반의 u-헬스케어 모니터링 서비스를 위해서는 IEEE 11073 PHD와 HL7 CDA 간 메시지 변환 게이트웨이가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 개인 휴대단말기를 통해 원격지에 있는 의료진이 사용자의 생체데이터를 실시간 관리하기 위해 ISO/IEEE 11073과 HL7 CDA 간 메시지 변환 게이트웨이 및 HL7 기반 진단지원시스템을 설계하였다.
