The purpose of this study is to provide policy implications for vitalizing u-health services. We carried out survey of 500 consumers and indepth interview with various experts. Both experts and consumers believe that u-health services will become prevalent in the longrun, although there exist obstacles against vitalization of u-health services. To vitalize u-health service, the Korean government should raise reliability and recognition of u-health service for consumers. Furthermore, law and institution regarding u-health services should be improved to give enough incentives for u-health suppliers and consumers.

유비쿼터스 건강관리를 가능하게 하는 U-health의 중요성이 부각됨에 따라 다양한 U-health 서비스들이 개발, 제공 되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 서비스들이 제한적이고 독립적으로 구성되어 있어서 다른 서비스와의 연동을 통한 폭넓은 서비스의 제공이 어렵다. 이러한 서비스 연동을 위해서는 U-health 데이터 및 단위 서비스를 체계적으로 관리하고, 맞춤형 U-health 서비스 개발에 필요한 단위 서비스 검색 방법이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 온톨로지를 이용하여 U-health 데이터 및 서비스들을 체계적으로 명세하고 관리하기 위한 방법과, 온톨로지 정보를 이용하여 의미적으로 서비스를 검색할 수 있도록 하는 서비스 브로커링 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 이를 활용해 스트레스 관리 U-health 서비스를 구축한 사례를 설명한다.

최근 휴대전화의 확산과, 웰빙에 대한 관심이 높아지면서, 휴대전화를 매개로 한 새로운 u-health서비스에 관한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 휴대폰을 매개로 한 u-health 서비스가 다양한 만큼 휴대전화 사업자들이 다양한 u-health 서비스를 효율적이고 체계적으로 개발하는 방법 또는 기술을 갖추는 것은 중요하다. 사실 서비스 관점에서는 전혀 다르게 보이는 u-health서비스들도 서비스 구조, 단위 서비스, 데이터 레벨등과 같은 관점에서 바라보면 많은 부분에서 공통점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 다양한 서비스들을 각각 독립적으로 개발해나가는 것 보다는 각각의 서비스들에 공통되는 특징들을 모아서 공유하고 재사용할 수 있게 지원하는 플랫폼을 준비하고 준비된 플랫폼 상에서 u-health 서비스를 개발하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 u-health 서비스 개발을 위해 필요한 공통적인 핵심 기능들과 도구들을 제공하는 u-health 서비스 플랫폼을 제안한다. 서비스 플랫폼의 주된 구성요소들은 u-health 온톨로지와 데이터 구조, 그리고 Business Process Management System (BPMS)에 기반 한 서비스 통합 프레임워크 등을 포함한다. 제안한 플랫폼은 u-health 서비스들을 개발하는 데 있어서 공통되는 특징들과 서비스들을 등록하고 재사용할 수 있도록 해준다. 제안된 플랫폼의 원형을 구현한 결과, 제안하는 플랫폼은 서비스의 유연성, 접근성, 진화성, 재사용성, 적응성, 상호운용성에 장점이 있으며 u-health서비스 개발을 위한 지침을 제공할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In the proposed u-health service platform mobile u-health served an a series of process of bio data collection and storage and bio data analyses and results notice, and I interpreted it to a process. I became a design so as the service platform which supported health management system construction easily loaded service applied mobile u-health, and to be able to operate it in mobile environments, and took utility of a service platform and usability into consideration, and I got the crux of u-health use service.

Globally, U-health services have been increased according to the increase in interests on health managing and the development of information communication technology (ICT) based on increases in advanced ages and chronic disease. Exiting U-health services provide required services and health information monitoring only through counsels and that represent limitations in preventing and managing cardiovascular disease patients like chronic patients. In this paper, we propose of U-health platform based health management service model using context information. In our service model can provide health monitoring, diet, and exercise service using context information of clinical information and wether in U-health platform environment. Service to offer is the specialized service using external content provider of DB. in addition to, doctor can to provide advice information to patient using monitoring service. The proposed service model provides effective services using context information in U-health platform environments to customers and that will improve the health of chronic patients.

U-health services have been progressed as treatment and management for specific diseases and prevention services for providing the behavior management to customers according to the increase in chronic patients. The conventional U-health services provide required services and bio-information monitoring only through remote diagnoses and counsels and that represent limitations in preventing and managing metabolic syndrome patients like chronic patients. Thus, in this study a multi platform based U-health service model for managing the health of chronic patients is proposed. The multi-platform based U-health service model can provide continuous health information, diet, and exercise services regardless of the location of customers through PCs and smart phones. In addition, it is able to provide prescription services to doctors and nurses using a CDS (Clinical Decision Support) module based on clinical information. Doctors can identify the life pattern of patients through a behavior modification program and provide customized services to patients. The U-health service model provides effective services in multi-platform environments to customers and that will improve the health of chronic patients.

u-Healthcare 활성화의 필요성이 꾸준히 제시되어 왔으나, 아직까지 이해자들의 공감대를 이끌어 낼 수 있는 개념정립 및 분류체계가 미비한 실정이다. 새로운 서비스 영역인 u-Healthcare 분야 산업 발전을 위해서는 정책적 전략과 제도적 정비 등의 기반조성이 필요하며, 이에 앞서 명확한 개념 정의와 영역 범주화의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ubiquitous computing 속성에 대한 이해를 통해 u-Health 환경과 u-Healthcare를 정의하며, 보건의료적 접근에 의한 분류를 통해 보건의료서비스에의 적용가능 분야를 제시하고자 한다.

U-health care services have been attracted to effectively solve some problems in promoting health and preparing aging society. Although the recent U-health care services have been developed to treat diseases, it requires environment information related to health for preventing fundamental diseases and for promoting health. In this study, a U-health environment service that reflects context recognition information is proposed. The proposed service draws environment information using local weather and healthcare information in users' residential areas. In the context recognition based U-health environment services, various services are provided to users not only health, living weather based menu, and exercise services but user location based warning messages for dangerous regions and remote emergency services. That is, based on such context recognition, some events that are to be occurred to users are detected and then it will provide proper services. Thus, it improves the satisfaction of U-health services and its service qualities.

This study was to analyze the influences of various factors on the u-health service. Data was surveyed from experienced of u-Health service sectors. We measured legal support, IT-infra, user education, the user education, and the u-Health solution, are the critical success factors for the u-Health service. Also we evaluated u-Health services by survey data from the users. We did also the research to evaluate the validity and reliability of these factors. After that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to measure the weights among these factors. Factor analysis resulted in 6 major factors (Eigenvalue > 1.0). The AHP analysis showed the list of Critical Success Factors weighted by its significance priorities. The results of this paper could be the valuable references for the policy making process of the u-Health system in Korea.
