Background: The efficacy of telemedicine among cancer survivors is uncertain. The Smart After-Care Program (SAP), which is an interactive, smartphone-based remote health monitoring system, was developed to help patients manage their health after leaving the hospital. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of our remote health care program for lung cancer patients. Methods: We enrolled 50 patients with lung cancer. Self-monitoring devices were supplied to all patients, who were instructed to enter their daily vital signs and subjective symptoms to the Smart After-Care app. The app also provided information about rehabilitation exercises and a healthy diet for lung cancer patients. All patients received health counseling via telephone once a week and visited an outpatient clinic during weeks 6 and 12 to assess satisfaction with the SAP and changes in quality of life and physical performance. Results: Overall satisfaction with the SAP was very high (very good, 61.9%; good, 26.2%). In the multivariate analysis to identify factors affecting satisfaction, the distance between the patient's residence and the hospital was the only significant independent factor (p=0.013). Quality of life improved along all functional scales (p<0.05). Muscle strength significantly improved in the lower limbs (p=0.012). Two-minute walk distance also significantly improved (p=0.028). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the SAP was acceptable for and supportive of patients with reduced pulmonary function after lung cancer treatment. The SAP was found to be particularly useful for patients living far from the hospital.

본 논문에서는 스마트 콘택트 렌즈를 이용한 건강 관리 어플리케이션을 제안한다. 기존에 연구되고 있던 스마트 콘택트 렌즈에 있는 센서들을 통해서 렌즈 사용자의 생체 데이터를 수집하고 수집한 데이터를 수치화 하여 당뇨병, 녹내장, 간략한 스트레스 지수 까지 시각화 하여 보다 편하게 자가 진단하고 예방하는데 그 목적이 있다. 렌즈의 구성으로는 생체 데이터를 수집하는 센서는 포도당 농도 측정 센서, 안압 측정 센서, 코르티솔 호르몬 측정 센서가 있고, 어플과 연동하기 위한 통신 센서가 포함 된다. 이후 수집된 데이터를 수치화 한 후 어플 화면에 시각화하여 사용자가 각 항목을 확인하는데 있어서 편리 할 수 있다. 많은 사용자들의 데이터가 모이면 이를 빅데이터로 구성한 뒤 건강관련 부서와 연동하여 기존에 의사들이 더 정확한 진단을 할 수 있도록 지원한다. 또한 사용자들은 어플을 사용하면서 예방하는데 큰 목적을 둔다.

There are few domestic studies on medical services in medically vulnerable areas where medical use is not met due to a lack of medical resources. The past studies on smart medicine targeting medically vulnerable areas grasp only the overall satisfaction level, or the sub-dimensions of satisfaction are not classified clearly. Also, it lacks consideration of the patient's needs. This study aims to analyze the effect of users' experience of the smart medicine pilot project conducted in medically vulnerable areas on satisfaction and demand. The user's experience was measured by variables in the dimensions of structure, process, and outcome. Among the pilot project participants, 282 subjects responded to the 2019 survey. Using the hierarchical regression method, we tried to find out the determinants of satisfaction and service demands. Experience factors affecting satisfaction were found to be accessibility, certainty, effectiveness, and efficiency. In addition, it was found that the demand in their 60s was high and that accessibility, certainty, effectiveness, and efficiency had a statistically significant effect on the demand. It is expected that the smart medicine pilot project will be effectively operated by well utilizing the factors influencing satisfaction and demand revealed in this study.

Recently, economic growth in the world has increased interest in healthy life, and the smart health care industry is growing. In the field of smart healthcare, wearable-type biometric information measurement technology has been highlighted due to the importance of IoT technology. The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable heart - rate monitoring system that can be applied to wearable health care and glove - type monitoring that enables convenient monitoring of heart rate during activity. For this purpose, a glove - type wearable health care system was developed and its performance was evaluated. Experimental results showed that the heartbeat monitoring was possible even in the presence of actual daily activities.

The core of existing IT industry has been multimedia contents based on internet network. But nowadays, ubiquitous technology which combines sensors and network technology is emerging and is called USN (ubiquitous sensor network). Health care industry is one of suitable areas for USN application. In this paper, sensor network for baby care is proposed. The proposed baby care system consists of bluetooth network to transfer information which comes from various sensors like falling detecting, crying and fever detecting sensor to keep infant's status safe from external-potential threats. The effectiveness of the implemented system is showed through demonstration.

In this paper, we study smart healthcare devices that enable active health care by building health care system with acquaintances or family members rather than single health care. The company develops health care services for families regardless of age and gender through intuitive UI design as a target for young users who serve elderly parents. Automated collection of health information and real-time feedback are available, and data can be aggregated and analyzed through repeaters. It can also utilize structured databases in the form of big data. The services offered can be used to prevent diseases and reduce medical expenses through health care, while automatic management can maximize users' convenience and increase demand. By reducing the development period of products that are based on this technology, reducing the development period of products and strengthening competitiveness, the company has the advantage of inducing generation-to-generation communication in an era when it is becoming a nuclear family.

Modern people, who are fully enjoying convenience with improved technology, are pursuing health next to convenience. Accordingly, the smart healthcare industry is rapidly increasing, and various companies are launching healthcare system products with applied VR. However, existing products on the market are expensive or professional products. Therefore, there are parts that are difficult for the general public to use. In this paper, we propose smart health care contents that can experience virtual reality anytime and anywhere at an affordable price and take care of health through exercise using Arduino and general bicycles sold in the market.

The telecare medical information system (TMIS) supports convenient and rapid health-care services. A secure and efficient authentication and key agreement scheme for TMIS provides safeguarding electronic patient records (EPRs) and helps health care workers and medical personnel to rapidly making correct clinical decisions. Giri et al. proposed an RSA-based remote user authentication scheme using smart cards for TMIS and claimed that their scheme could resist various malicious attacks. In this paper, we point out that their scheme is still vulnerable to lost smart card attacks and replay attacks and propose an improved scheme to prevent the shortcomings. As compared with the previous authentication schemes for TMIS, the proposed scheme is more secure and practical.
