According to 2005 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey, it has been reported that 32.9% men and 31.8% women have Metabolic syndrome among the population of age 30 and over. The importance of prevention and management is being emphasized in Metabolic syndrome which is a complex disease related to various generic and environmental factors like other chronical disease. In this study we suggest an service based on the data using the system architecture, ontology and Jena2.0 inference engine and organizing the disease-related guideline. The study also arrives at the result through proper interpretation and reasoning process using health management service model based on ontology. The accuracy according to the situation was tested and 930 data samples were selected and experimented. We drew a conclusion that the much personalized data is available, the more personalized services are possible. Since the risk factors of Metabolic syndrome are various, it would be effective to suggest customized services based on various personalized data.

The Process Safety Management (PSM) by the Law of Industry, Safety and Health has been performed for preventing major accidents of chemical plants since 1996. In terms of preventing chemical accidents more precisely, it is essential to develop a tool for quantitative risk assessment. For this, KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency) developed an Integrated Risk Management System (IRMS). The system is designed to assimilate data on chemical plant hazards from external database, to integrate these data with location information(topographic and demographic), and to make them user-friendly accessible. The system consists of several main functions: display of five major Korean petrochemical complex layout display of equipment layout with its information utilizing the external database, zonation of the hazard effected area with consequence analyses, the most probable accident scenario generation, accident/incident database and calculation of frequency of accident using equipment reliability database, etc. The highlight of IRMS is to provide the risk contours using GIS(Geographical Information System) technology. IRMS is intended to manage hazardous installation more systematically and effectively, to reduce the number of accident remarkably, further minimizing production loss in the plant. The system is now under application to about 500 PSM sites as well as and emergency authorities in Korea by KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency)

The objectives of this study were first to inspect the background information of an incentive pay system in hospitals, which provide specialized services for the public, the current status of hospitals with the system, as well as effects produced by introducing it, and then to come up with measures to invigorate the system. According to the findings of a survey, a total of 123 out of 150 hospitals responded that they applied the system to their HR management, some fully or some partially, which accounts for 82.0 percent. This study suggested that the following strategies to invigorate the incentive pay system: having a clear objective when adopting the system; concerted performance targets; practical yet worth challenging business objectives; transparent information disclosure; and establishing a confidence-building system between labor and management. Mutual trust between labor and capital should be a key factor for the successful implementation of the incentive pay system.

As the utilize of personal health records increases in recent years, research on cryptographic protocol for protecting personal information of personal health records has been actively conducted. Currently, personal health records are commonly encrypted and outsourced to the cloud. However, this method is limited in verifying the integrity of personal health records, and there is a problem with poor data availability because it is essential to use it in decryption. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a verifiable cloud-based personal health record management scheme using Redactable signature scheme and zero-knowledge proof. Verifiable cloud-based personal health record management scheme can be used to verify the integrity of the original document while preserving privacy by deleting sensitive information by using Redactable signature scheme, and to verify that the redacted document has not been deleted or modified except for the deleted part of the original document by using the zero-knowledge proof. In addition, it is designed to increase the availability of data than the existing management schemes by designing to recover deleted parts only when necessary through the Redact Recovery Authority. And we propose a verifiable cloud-based personal health record management model using the proposed scheme, and analysed its efficiency by implementing the proposed scheme.

The biological interpretation of two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis experiments is a key step toward understanding the functions of biological systems. We here present a web-based integrated database, called 2DSpotDB, for the management of proteome data derived from several pathogens. The 2DSpotDB was established as a part of the management of a pathogen proteome project at the Korea National Institute of Health. The goals of the 2DSpotDB implementation are to store and define important pathogen genes, retrieve information obtained by 2D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, and create an integrated system to provide pathogen proteome information for biological scientists. This database currently contains 14 gels and information on 387 protein spots, among which 329 proteins were identified and annotated.

By using the U-Healthcare environment, it is possible to receive the health care services anywhere anytime. However, since the user's personal information can be easily exposed in the U-Healthcare environment, it is necessary to strengthen the security system. This thesis proposes the technique which can be used to protect the personal medical records at hospital safely, in order to avoid the exposure of the user's personal information which can occur due to the frequent usage of the electronic chart according to the computerization process of medical records. In the proposed system, the following two strategies are used: i) In order to reduce the amount of the system load, it is necessary to apply the partial encryption process for electronic charts. ii) Regarding the user's authentication process for each patient, the authentication number for each electronic chart, which is in the encrypted form, is transmitted through the patient's mobile device by the National Health Insurance Corporation, when the patient register his or her application at hospital. Regarding the modern health care services, it is important to protect the user's personal information. The proposed technique will be an important method of protecting the user's information.
