There is a growing need for a care system that can continuously monitor, manage and effectively relieve stress for modern people. In recent years, mobile healthcare devices capable of measuring heart rate have become popular, and many stress monitoring techniques using heart rate variability analysis have been actively proposed and commercialized. In addition, respiratory biofeedback methods are used to provide stress relieving services in environments using mobile healthcare devices. In this case, breathing information should be measured well to assess whether the user is doing well in biofeedback training. In this study, we extracted the heart beat interval signal from the PPG and used the oscillator based notch filter based on the IIR band pass filter to track the strongest frequency in the heart beat interval signal. The respiration signal was then estimated by filtering the heart beat interval signal with this frequency as the center frequency. Experimental results showed that the number of breathing could be measured accurately when the subject was guided to take a deep breath. Also, in the timeing measurement of inspiration and expiration, a time delay of about 1 second occurred. It is expected that this will provide a respiratory biofeedback service that can assess whether or not breathing exercise are performed well.

스마트기기가 많은 부분에서 쓰임에 따라 의료 부분에서 스마트기기용 앱이 사용 할 수 있게 되었다. 의료용 앱이라고 하여 이 앱을 사용함으로서 의료인은 진료에 도움이 될 수 있고, 일반인들은 자신의 건강을 관리 할 수 있게 되었다. 의료용 앱의 정의에 따라 스마트기기 부분 대하여 사용 될 수 있는 시스템이 있는데, 그것은 바로 CDSS이다. 임상 의사 결정 지원 시스템이라고 하며, 의료인들이 의료 결정을 할 때 도움을 주는 시스템이다. 이것은 HL7(Health Level 7) 표준이며, 국제 표준인 Arden Syntax로 표현 할 수 있다. 그리고 크게 3가지의 카테고리로 이루어져 있으며 각각 부분에서 의료 진료에 관한 내용을 표현한다. 또한 시스템간의 XML로 교환하여 사용 할 수 있다. 하지만 스마트기기는 그 자체의 기능과 성능으로 CDSS 서비스를 하기에는 많이 부족하다. 이 부족한 점은 모바일 클라우드를 사용한다면 의료용 앱의 완성도와 신뢰성이 더 높아 질 것이다. 의료인들이 이러한 의료용 앱을 사용함으로써 환자 진료에 많은 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
