고령자는 낮은 디지털 활용 역량, 주기적이고 지속적인 자가관리 유지 어려움이 있어 시간에 따른 변화에 대응해 지속적인 관리를 해줄 수 있는 돌봄 제공자용 건강관리 앱이 필요하다. 이러한 필요성을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 고령자가 사용하기 편한 UI와 단순한 구조의 앱을 디자인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 앱은 돌봄 현장에서 혈압, 혈당, 심박수 등의 건강 데이터와 신체, 질병, 인지, 의사소통, 환경 등의 특이 정보들을 정기적으로 관리하도록 지원한다. 본 연구에서 개발된 앱은 건강관리 기기와의 연동을 통해 데이터를 자동 입력하고, 기록된 데이터의 자동분석과 시각화 표현이 가능하다. 건강 변화의 추세, 변동성 등의 모니터링으로 돌봄 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 지원이 가능하다. 또한 다양한 건강관리, 의료지원 플랫폼과 연계할 수 있는 확장성이 추가되어 개발되었다. 개발된 앱에 대한 효과성과 만족도가 현장 실증 결과 유의미함이 확인되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to develop a smartphone app-based emergency coping education program to improve caregivers' emergency coping abilities and identify the program's effect on knowledge, attitudes and confidence in first aid. Methods: The study was conducted with 80 caregivers in elderly care facilities and home care centers. A total of 40 participants were assigned to experimental and control groups of caregivers working in elderly care facilities and home care centers using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The data were analyzed using the 𝝌²-test and the independent t-test with the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: The experimental group had higher scores and a statistically significant increase in knowledge(t=6.26, p<.001), attitude(t=5.25, p<.001), confidence(t=3.38, p<.001) and emergency coping abilities(t=8.83, p<.001) was observed in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: The smartphone app-based emergency coping education program has proven the effectiveness of education by improving the ability of caregivers to cope with emergencies, suggesting the need to expand and apply it to more caregivers. In order to maximize the learning effect, app-based educational content should be developed in more diverse areas along with follow-up research with various education contents.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility and effectiveness of digital therapeutics for supportive care after gastrectomy. Materials and Method: The study included 39 patients with gastric cancer who underwent minimally invasive gastrectomy and were able to use a mobile application (app) on their smartphones. The developed research app automatically calculates and provides daily targets for calorie and protein intake based on the patient's body mass index (BMI). Patients recorded their daily diets, weights, and symptoms in the app and completed special questionnaires to assess the feasibility of the app in real-world clinical practice. Results: At the 10-week follow-up, the mean questionnaire scores for ease of learning, usability, and effectiveness of the app (primary endpoint) were 2.32±0.41, 2.35±0.43, and 2.4±0.39 (range: 0-3), respectively. Patients were classified as underweight (<18.5, n=4), normal (18.5-24.9, n=24), or overweight (≥25.0, n=11) according to predischarge BMI. Underweight patients showed higher compliance with app usage and a higher rate of achieving the target calorie and protein intake than normal weight and overweight patients (98% vs. 77% vs. 81%, p=0.0313; 102% vs. 75% vs. 61%, P=0.0111; 106% vs. 79% vs. 64%, P=0.0429). Two patients transitioned from underweight to normal weight (50.0%), one patient (4.3%) transitioned from normal weight to underweight, and two patients (22.2%) transitioned from overweight to normal weight. Conclusions: The mobile app is feasible and useful for postoperative supportive care in terms of ease of learning, usability, and effectiveness. Digital therapeutics may be an effective way to provide supportive care for postgastrectomy patients, particularly in terms of nutrition.

Children need oral care according to their developmental stage and accordingly, the appropriate dental treatment is different, which requires parents to have an active attitude and the applicable oral knowledge. As there is so much unreliable oral care information and PR, it is hard to find accurate information and parents are in need of a preventative oral healthcare mobile application for healthy oral care. Also, pediatric adolescent care should be focused on prevention rather than treatment and children should be instructed and educated to eat cariogenic foods as little as possible as well as told to brush before going to bed. This study designed a smart application for oral health care education to provide information and knowledge regarding oral health care for infants, oral health education, and oral health care prevention for parents of young children.

응급 상황에서 응급 구조사는 외상 평가와 치료가 주요 업무이다. 하지만 응급 처치를 할 수 있는 범위가 협소하며 병원의 응급실로 이송하는 일을 주로 수행하고 있다. 응급 상황에 맞는 전문의를 연결하여 원격 의료 지도를 통한 응급 처치가 이루어진다면 정확한 진단과 적절한 치료에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 응급 의료 서비스를 위한 원격 의료 지도를 지원하기 위한 앱을 개발하였다. 개발된 스마트 앱은 응급 구조사가 원격지에 있는 의사를 호출하여 응급 환자의 상태를 생체 신호와 영상으로 실시간 전송할 수 있다. 이를 통하여 환자의 상태를 정확하게 진단하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 또한 응급 치료를 지도할 수 있으며 응급실에서의 대응이 신속하게 이루어질 수 있도록 할 수 있다.

Purpose An increase in the number of fitness apps across the world is a testament to the growing interest in health. As focus on medical services shifted from treatment to prevention, this type of app plays an essential role in promoting one's health and exercise management. Yet little has been known about practical effects of fitness apps in existing literature thus this study searches for factors that affect daily use of fitness apps and examine the relationship between app usage and exercise patterns. Design/methodology/approach This study surveyed people who used Cashwalk, the pedometer app for a minimum of a week to analyze reasons why they used the app. Particpants' exercise patterns were also recorded. By examining survey results of fitness app users and developing a research model based on the Customer Value Theory, this study provides real-life factors to the fitness and smart health care industry that will adopt a proactive lifestyle pattern. Findings Empirical analysis proved properties such as the complexity of fitness apps, monetary rewards, exercise monitoring and the enjoyment of using fitness apps contribute to using fitness apps on a daily basis. Furthermore, more daily use of fitness apps was shown to have a greater impact on exercise. This study also confirmed that social comparison does not affect the daily use of fitness apps and the amount of exercise, and the habitual walking was proved to directly affect the amount of exercise.

고령자들에 국한된 M-Health 관련 서비스는 많지 않다. 치매발병 위험성이 있는 고령자의 다수가 스마트 기기에 익숙하지 않은 것이 현실이므로 직관적으로 사용하기 쉽고 터치버튼의 크기를 최대화한 사용자 맞춤형 앱설계가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고령자들의 접근성을 높이고자 음성입력이 가능한 모바일 음성알리미 통합앱을 설계, 구현하여 치매 등 인지기능 저하에 따른 질병을 예방하고자 한다. 경북 H지역의 평생교육원 수강생들에게 앱을 배포 후 개별 인터뷰와 설문검사를 실시 후 분석한 결과 만족도가 높게 나타났다. 음성 헬스케어 알리미 앱을 통해 치매예방을 할 수 있어서 고령자들의 M-Health 서비스를 위한 핵심적인 역할을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 향후 웹 DB에 저장된 자료를 딥러닝을 통해 학습하여 고령자들의 생활패턴과 치매가능성 여부를 예측하고자 한다.

Background and Objectives: Self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) is a reliable method used to assess BP accurately. However, patients do not often know how to respond to the measured BP value. We developed a mobile application-based feed-back algorithm (SMBP-App) for tailored recommendations. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether SMBP-App is superior to SMBP alone in terms of BP reduction and drug adherence improvement in patients with hypertension. Methods: Self-Monitoring of blood pressure and Feed-back using APP in Treatment of UnconTrolled Hypertension (SMART-BP) is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy of SMBP-App compared with SMBP alone. Patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension will be randomly assigned to the SMBP-App (90 patients) and SMBP alone (90 patients) groups. In the SMBP group, the patients will perform home BP measurement and receive the standard care, whereas in the SMBP-App group, the patients will receive additional recommendations from the application in response to the obtained BP value. Follow-up visits will be scheduled at 12 and 24 weeks after randomization. The primary endpoint of the study is the mean home systolic BP. The secondary endpoints include the drug adherence, the home diastolic BP, home and office BP. Conclusions: SMART-BP is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy of SMBP-App. If we can confirm its efficacy, SMBP-App may be scaled-up to improve the treatment of hypertension.
