  • Concerning the development of suitable healthcare equipment for a aged people at their homes in order to reduce the labor and increase the efficiency in the homehelpers' work, we conducted a study on the actual conditions of healthcare in Kyoto city (healthcare in taking a meal and excretion, moving and taking a bath by using a hand-powered lift, moving by a wheelchair, shower carrier healthcare, assistance in body care and housework) by digital video filming, interviews and layout investigations. On the base of those investigations by using methods for analysis of video pictures, we divided the healthcate work into scenes and e exctracted the main problems in terms of health care equipment, information, environment, healthcare skills, mental burden, social s system, family burden, ete. Furthermore the questionnaire survey of home helpers (18 persons - 50% answers) clarified that more than half of them have lumbago pains and the biggest load in the everyday healthcare c comes from moving the patients or getting them into or out of t the equipment for moving. Finally we considered concrete proposals appropriate for each h healthcare scene image, based on evaluation toward efficiency (design guidelines) for suitable healthcare equipment for aged people at their homes: 1) Design toward a proper posture 2) Design toward self-help possibility 3) Design toward patient active participation 4) Design toward rationality of the whole process 5) Design toward place-appropriate healthcare equipment 6) Design toward healing of mind 7) Good level of healthcare skills 8) Economic, systematic rationality

  • U-Healthcare는 홈 네트워크, 휴대용 장치 등에 기반한 정보통신기술과 의료시스템이 서로 융합되어 개인의 생체정보 등을 실시간으로 모니터링하고, 자동으로 병원 및 의사와 연결되어 시공간의 제약을 줄임으로써 언제 어디서나 건강을 관리하고 질병을 예방하는 새로운 형태의 의료서비스이다. 본 논문에서는 진료 중심에서 예방 중심으로 변화되어가고 있는 최근의 U-Healthcare 시스템의 기술 발전 추세에 맞추어 조기 대응이 가능한 Healthcare 정보시스템 구축을 위한 요구분석 사항들에 대해 정리하고, 이를 기반으로 u-Healthcare의 실현을 위한 기존의 단위 시스템인 PACS, OCS, EMR, 응급의료시스템을 통합한 환자중심의 클라이언트 시스템을 설계한다. 특히, 온톨로지는 특정분야의 정보 모델에 이용되어 그 분야에서 공통의 어휘를 제공하고, 그 용어의 의미와 용어간의 관계를 다양한 수준의 형식성을 가지고 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 온톨로지 및 무질서한 데이터에 대한 관계를 정의하고, 보다 체계적으로 데이터를 군집화하는 클러스터링의 개념을 포함한 환자중심의 서비스를 위한 온톨로지 기반의 시스템을 제안한다.

  • Purpose: Child safety seats (CSS) are critical for the protection of children, in case of motor vehicle accidents. Although the national legislation mandates that all newborns must be placed in an appropriately installed CSS during transportation, people often do not perceive the importance of CSS and do not use it as recommended. The purpose of this survey was to understand the use of CSS for the safe transport of newborns from hospital to home. Methods: We interviewed parents of newborn infants, using a structured questionnaire, at the time of their discharge from Cheil General Hospital & Women's Health Care Center, between May 2014 and July 2014. Results: A total of 403 participants were interviewed. The rate of CSS use was only 14.9%. Overall, 76.4% of the families interviewed were not aware about the recommendations on CSS use for newborns when travelling in a car. The provision of education on using CSS significantly influenced their rate of use. Parents who were educated about mounting the CSS in a car used it more as compared with others (25.7% vs. 12.2%) (P=0.002). Furthermore, if parents had heard about the importance or necessity of CSS, they used it more than others did (19.5% vs. 10.6%, P=0.032). Conclusion: Despite the legal regulation, most parents transport their newborn infants without a CSS while traveling from hospital to their home. The rate of CSS use was influenced by parental education and their knowledge about its necessity. Education programs for parents must be reinforced to increase the CSS use.

  • 본 연구는 65세 이상의 고령자를 대상으로 하는 '헬스케어기반의 고령친화적 스마트홈' 조성을 위해 현행 관련 법제도의 한계에 기인하여 국내외 법제도를 비교법적인 분석을 통해 개선방안을 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 원격의료 시행을 전제로 관련 법제도는 '헬스케어'와 '고령친화' 그리고 '스마트홈 관련 법제도로 크게 3개 부문으로 나누어 고찰했다. 헬스케어 관련 법제도는 국내 의료법에 의해 원격의료를 시행하고 있지만, 의료진과의 정보교환(원격자문 역할)으로 제한을 두고 있다. 국외사례를 토대로 원격의료(모니터링)를 위한 개념 및 제반 사항에 대한 정의 등을 규정할 필요가 있으며, 고령친화 관련 법제도 분석 결과, 고령자에 대한 정의가 불분명하며 보건의료체계에 대한 정비가 필요하다. 이러한 분석 결과를 토대로 관련법제도 개선의 필요성을 인지하고 현행 관련 개별법에 대한 개정을 통한 법제도의 정비와 신규 법률 제정을 통한 개선방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 국내외 관련 법제도의 비교법적인 분석을 통한 개선방안을 제시하는 것이지만, 두 가지 대안은 각각의 장단점을 가지고 있어 어느 것이 최선의 선택이라고 결론을 내리기 어려운 것이 본 연구의 한계이다.
