오늘날 세계는 다양한 패러다임과 기술이 발전하는 시대에 도래해 왔고 여러 분야의 기술이 융합되어 새로운 분야의 기술이 나타나고 있다. 그 중 하나인 u-Health 시스템은 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) 기반의 여러 생체 센서의 데이터를 이용하여 사용자가 언제 어디서든 모니터링을 할 수 있는 시스템을 말한다. 이러한 u-Health 시스템은 과거에 유선으로 센서 데이터를 수집하고 PC(Personal Computer)만으로 모니터링이 가능했지만, IT기술이 발전함에 따라서 센서 데이터를 무선으로 취득하고, 언제 어디서 모니터링이 가능한 시스템으로 변화되고 있다. 본 연구는 사용자의 생체 데이터를 취득하고 이 정보를 Jena 추론 서비스를 통해 사용자가 응급 상황이 발생하면 언제 어디서든 사용자의 생체 데이터를 확인 할 수 있도록 웹 서비스와 스마트폰 애플리케이션을 제공하는 방법을 제공한다.

u-Health는 최근 기술이며 의료 진단과 건강관리를 위한 새로운 방법론이다. 그러나 이를 실현하려면 몇 가지 기술적 장벽들(이동성, 소형화, 배터리 수명 문제 등)을 넘어서야 한다. 본 논문에서는 u-Health 서비스에 적합한 스마트폰용 스펙트럼 측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 실험 결과 기존 솔루션에 비해 무선이면서 크기가 매우 작지만 성능 면(재현성 비교실험에서 Spectrum, Calibration Curve, Prediction)에서 거의 일치한다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 개발된 솔루션은 u-Health 분야에서 널리 활용되어질 것으로 기대된다.

최근 고령화에 따른 사회적인 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안으로 IT와 BT기술을 접목한 U헬스 의료서비스가 주목을 받고 있다. 활성산소는 체내의 불안정한 상태의 유해산소로서 노화의 주원인이 되고, 다른 질병을 유발할 위험성이 크며, 현대인의 질병 중 약 905가 활성산소와 관련이 있다. 따라서 고 연령층과 지병환자들 뿐만 아니라 일반일들도 활성산소 포화도를 체계적으로 관리해야 할 필요성이 있다. 본 논문에서 신체로부터 측정한 활성산소 측정데이터를 의료기관의 데이터 저장소로 전송하여 서비스 제공자로부터 진단을 받을 수 있는 효과적인 U헬스 시스템에 대하여 소개한다. 제안하는 시스템은 사용자의 신체검사정보확인, 의료기기와 모바일 간의 표준에 따른 블루투스 데이터 통신, 의료정보 기능을 지원하고, 또한 모바일의 3G/4G, Wi-Fi를 이용하여 게이트웨이 역할을 수행하도록 설계하였다. 제안시스템의 U헬스 기기와 모바일 간의 표준에 의한 데이터통신을 통해 의료기관으로부터 언제, 어디서든 진단을 받을 수 있는 효과적인 U헬스 서비스 환경을 구축할 수 있다.

In this paper ubiquitous health care system that can monitor health condition was implemented through measuring the sensor that is installed in vehicles. Implemented system consists of various wireless sensors and DB server, transmitting information that is sensed in real-time. In addition, through the sensed data based algorithm, the system which couples Web-based JSP program with Flash GUI, providing information as well as emergency service was established.

The rises of the life index quality together with the medical technology improvement lead to a longer life expectancy. Then a better health care program, especially for elderly, is needed. The common health problems facing those senior citizens are changed from acute diseases to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension. Then u-Health takes center stage in medical industry. Although u- Health medical device manufacturers have been improving their instruments, these instruments still rely on proprietary technologies without fixed platform. Even if the interface has been provided by the manufacturer, there is no widely-accepted uniform data model to access data of various u-Health devices. IEEE 11073 is a standard attempting to unify the interfaces of all medical devices. In this paper we have proposed a conversion software platform that assures interoperability among medical devices for ubiquitous sensor network. This module uses in order to develop a standard platform of medical system.

There exists dead zone from the aspects of health equity and health medical equity for maritime personnel. They could not have been benefited from disease prevention and health promotion in comparison with shore personnel due to the restricted medical accessibility caused by long voyage ship operation. Furthermore, the system of health management and medical assistance for maritime personnel is insufficient, the continuous health monitoring system does not exist, nor health diagnosis system, maritime industrial accidents and occupational disease control systems are adequate. The International Maritime Organization and the International Labour Organization recommend their Member Governments to take necessary measures in the management of seafarers' health and diseases through conducting continuous and systematic investigation. Thus, this study intends to propose action strategy and tasks for introducing marine telemedicine system aiming to provide seafarers with health management service for the years to come. The conclusions of this study can be given as follows. First, it is required that a systematic medical service system needs to be provided to promote seafarers' health. Second it is recommended to establish the marine telemedicine system incorporating U-Health technology. Third, it is necessary to revise the relevant laws and regulations to introduce the marine telemedicine system. Fourth, it is also necessary to provide various assistance system at the national level in the furtherance of global marketing of marine telemedicine system.

In this study, services for promoting health were provided to kindergarten children. As u-Health services for children, services centered of positioning of children are provided. However, since problems related with obesity and mental health are increasing day by day due to westernized eating habits, the necessity of physical and mental health care for children is on the rise. Considering this state, in this study, experiments of u-Health services under the concept of wellness were conducted on kindergarten children. For physical health, the children's obesity was controlled and for mental health, services of diagnosing hyperactivity disorder which is a sub symptom of ADHD were provided. Based on the results, it could be identified that parents' satisfaction and children's health conditions were improved.

Recently, there has been a rapid increase of interest in u-Health systems or instruments. The importance of testbeds has been discussed deeply also. However, beyond laboratory or ward environments, testbeds covering metropolitan area cannot be found easily. Moreover, there has been few papers which discuss the results of testbed operations for various instruments in different age groups. In this paper, the results of testbed which operated in Daegu metropolitan area are discussed and improvement directions to strengthen the competitiveness are proposed using user analysis. In particular, the results of trial services using the u-Life support instruments (medication reminder, falling safety phone, bio-patch and shirts, etc) for super aging societies in the near future are discussed.

The United States has a unique health care system, which is unlikely any other health care systems in the world. The major part of basic functional components of the system -financing, insurance, delivery, and payment- is in private hands. A market-oriented economy invites the participation of numerous private entities that are interested in carrying out the key functions of health systems. Due to this central feature, U.S.health care is not delivered through a network of interrelated components designed to work together coherently. For lack of standardization, the various components of the system fit together only loosely. The involvement of numerous players in the key functions leads to duplication, overlap, inadequacy, inconsistency, and waste, which add to the complexity and also make the system inefficient. Hence, cost containment remains an elusive goals. Moreover, the system falls short of delivering equitable services to all americans, though consumption of health care services is the largest in the world. On the other hand, United States leads the world in the latest and the best in medical technology, medical training, and research. It offers some of the most sophisticated institutions, products, and processes of health care delivery. This article discuss the characteristic features of the U.S. health care system. and its performance, trying to seek its implication on Korean health care system.
