In this paper, we have developed a Retina Healthcare Service System through which the patient himself/herself can manage his/her retina health. In the case of conventional portable ophthalmic cameras, patients cannot check their eye health on their own because most of them are used by doctor in environments where ophthalmography cannot be performed properly. This system consists of web, app and camera modules, and when a patient mounts a camera module for fundus photography on his / her smart phone and then photographs his / her fundus through the app, the image is transmitted to a server, and the transmitted image reads the fundus the patient's fundus image status in the fundus image reading model learned using deep learning. When the doctor expresses his/her opinions about the patient 's eye condition based on the reading result and the fundus photograph, the patient can check through the app and judge whether to receive ophthalmologic treatment.

This study was conducted to explore the acceptance behavior of undergraduate students toward telemedicine, which is temporarily allowed in the COVID-19. We applied social cognitive theory and technology acceptance model in order to reflect the convergence characteristics between medical service and digital technology of telemedicine. Based on these theoretical backgrounds, we investigated perception toward telemedicine and determinants of intention to accept telemedicine. To examine the research model and hypothesis, an online survey was conducted for college students who have not used telemedicine from September 8 to 10, 2021. A total of 184 data were collected, and multiple regression analysis was conducted using the SPSS 28.0 program. The results showed that health technology self-efficacy, usefulness and convenience benefits, social norm, and trust in telemedicine providers had positive effects on intention to accept telemedicine. This study is meaningful in that it selected undergraduate students, who are digital natives, as new targets for telemedicine, and presented the basic direction of strategies to target them.

As IT technology develops recently, medical equipment used in hospitals is demanding high performance. However, since the user visits different hospitals depending on the user's situation, the medical information treated at the hospital is distributed among the hospitals. In this paper, we propose a model to efficiently integrate the health care information of the users stored in the hospital in order to collect the healthcare information of the users who visited the different hospitals. The proposed model synchronizes users' healthcare information collected from personal wearable devices to collect user - centered healthcare information. In addition, the proposed model performs integrity and validity check related to user's healthcare information in a database existing in a cloud environment in order to smoothly share data with the healthcare service center. In particular, the proposed model enables tree - based data processing to smoothly manage healthcare information collected from mobile platforms.
