This paper proposes a portable electrocardiograph and smart device-based heart health monitoring and risk notification system. The proposed system consists of a portable electrocardiograph and a smart device for a system user, and a web-based monitoring system for observers. This system can improve the convenience and efficiency of measurement by using a light-weight portable electrocardiograph and a smart device. In addition, any authorized person such as caregiver or family member who is not related to medical institution can monitor users'heart health in real-time using the web-based monitoring system. Therefore, a user and authorized remote observers can efficiently monitor and manage user's heart health in daily-life even without any medical institution's help, and can preemptively deal with any possible dangerous situations, such as degeneration of a cardiac disorder and sudden cardiac death.

This paper presents the structural health monitoring (SHM) of Shanghai Tower. In order to provide useful information for safety evaluation and regular maintenance under construction and in-service condition, a comprehensive structural health monitoring (SHM) system is installed in Shanghai Tower, which is composed of a main monitoring station and eleven substations. Structural responses at different construction stages are measured using this SHM system and presented in this study. Meanwhile, a detailed finite element model (FEM) is created and comparison of results between SHM and FEM is carried out. Results indicate that the time-dependent property of concrete creep is of great importance to structural response and the measured data can be used in FEM updating to obtain more accurate FEM models at different construction stages. Therefore, installation of structural health monitoring system in super-tall buildings could be considered as an effective way to assure structural safety during the construction process.

본 논문은 석유화학 플랜트 등의 결함을 자기자왜센서기술을 활용하여 주기적으로 검사하는 오프라인 모니터링이 가능한 'Health Monitoring System'의 개발과 그 활용성에 대해 확인하였다. 기존의 유도파 검사 방식은 용접부위 검사에는 적용할 수 없고, 일반적인 부위에서도 노이즈 및 반사파 등으로 검사의 정밀도에 한계를 갖고 있다. 본 기술은 주기적인 모니터링을 통해 결함의 진전에 따른 변위정보를 활용할 수 있음으로서, 더 정밀한 검사가 가능하기 때문에 석유화학 플랜트에서 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The paper presents a case study in which the structural condition assessment of the East Bay bridge in Gibsonton, Florida is evaluated with the help of remote health monitoring techniques. The bridge is a four-span, continuous, deck-type reinforced concrete structure supported on prestressed pile bents, and is instrumented with smart Fiber Optic Sensors. The sensors used for remote health monitoring are the newly emerged Fabry-Perot (FP), and are both surface-mounted and embedded in the deck. The sensing system can be accessed remotely through fast Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), which permits the evaluation of the bridge behavior under live traffic loads. The bridge was open to traffic since March 2005, and the collected structural data have been continuously analyzed since. The data revealed an increase in strain readings, which suggests a progression in damage. Recent visual observations also indicated the presence of longitudinal cracks along the bridge length. After the formation of these cracks, the sensors readings were analyzed and used to extrapolate the values of the maximum stresses at the crack location. The data obtained were also compared to initial design values of the bridge under factored gravity and live loads. The study showed that the proposed structural health monitoring technique proved to provide an efficient mean for condition assessment of bridge structures providing it is implemented and analyzed with care.

Secondhand smoke (SHS) is one of major public health threats. Since secondhand smoke is complex mixture of toxic chemicals, there has been no standardized method to measure SHS quantitatively. The purpose of this manuscript was to review various quantitative methods to measure SHS. There are two different methods: air monitoring and biological monitoring. Air monitoring methods include exhaled carbon monoxide level, ambient fine particulates, nicotine and 3-ethenylpyridine. Measurement of fine particulates has been utilized due to presence of real-time monitor, while fine particulates can have multiple indoor sources other than SHS. Ambient nicotine and 3-EP are more specific to SHS, although there is no real-time monitor for these chemicals. Biological monitoring methods include nicotine in hair, cotinine in urine, NNK in urine and DNA adducts. Nicotine in hair can provide chronic internal dose, while cotinine in urine can provide acute dose. Since biological monitoring can provide total internal dose, identification of specific exposure source may be difficult. NNK in urine can indicate carcinogenicity of the SHS exposure. DNA adducts can provide overall cancer causing exposure, but not specific to SHS. While there are many quantitative methods to measure SHS, selection of appropriate method should be based on purposes of assessment. Application of accurate and appropriate exposure assessment method is important for understanding health effects and establishing appropriate control measures.

u-healthcare 시스템은 센서 네트워크로부터 수집된 대량의 생체신호를 신속히 처리 분석하여 의료진에게 전달함으로써 시간과 장소에 관계없이 환자에게 적절한 의료 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 현존하는 u-healthcare 시스템들은 단지 환자의 건강 상태만을 모니터링 한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서네트워크에 기반한 u-health 모니터링의 프로토타입을 구현하고 검증하였다. 이 시스템은 수집된 생체 신호를 신속히 분석하여 의학적으로 의미 있는 결과를 도출하는 것이 용이하다. 이 모니터링 시스템은 피검자의 이상 데이터 수집 시에만 서비스 제공자에게 데이터를 전송한다. 이러한 방법은 모니터링부와 서비스 제공자사이의 무선 데이터 패킷의 부하를 줄일 수 있다. 실시간 생체 신호 모니터링 시스템을 구현함으로 유-헬스 서비스가 가능하게 되고 의료서비스의 효율성을 향상시킨다.
