  • A distributed healthcare monitoring system prototype for clinical and trauma patients was developed, using wireless sensor network node. The proposed system aimed to measure various vital physiological health parameters like ECG and body temperature of patients and elderly persons, and transfer his/her health status wirelessly in Ad-hoc network to remote base station which was connected to doctor's PDA/PC or to a hospital's main Server using wireless sensor node. The system also aims to save the cost of healthcare facility for patients and the operating power of the system because sensor network is deployed widely and the distance from sensor to base station was shorter than in general centralized system. The wireless data communication will follow IEEE 802.15.4 frequency communication with ad-hoc routing thus enabling every motes attached to patients, to form a wireless data network to send data to base-station, providing mobility and convenience to the users in home environment.

  • Recently, according to change of lifestyle and increase of concerning in health, needs of the smart clothing based on the vital sign monitoring have increased. Along with this trend, smart clothing for ECG monitoring has been studied various way as textile electrode, clothing design and so on. Smart clothing for ECG monitoring can become a comfortable system which enables continuous vital sign monitoring in daily use. But, smart clothing for ECG monitoring has a weakness on artifact during motion. One of the motion artifact caused by shifting of the electrode position was affected skin change by motion. The aim of this study was to suggest electrode locations for clothing of ECG monitoring to reduce of motion artifacts. Therefore, change of skin surface during the movement were measured and analyzed in order to find location to minimize motion artifacts in ECG monitoring clothing by 3D motion capture. For the experiment, the subjects consisted of 5 males and 5 females in their 20' with average physique. As a result, the optimal location for ECG monitoring was deducted under the bust line and scapula which have least motion artifact. These locations were abstracted to be least affected by movement in this research.

  • Purpose: The objective of this research was to measure health literacy level of the visitors of a university hospital's out patient clinic and to consider its influence factors. Methods: Subjects were 400 visitors in an outpatient clinic of a university hospital. By using self-report questionnaire which included Newest Vital Sign (NVS) and general information inquiry, the level of health literacy and its influence factors were measured. The data were analyzed by using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation. Results: The NVS score of subjects was $3.54({\pm}1.91)$ out of maximum 6 scale. The factors that have significant relationships with the health literacy were age, sex, marital status, educational background, monthly income, health information source, number of diseases, number of medications and drinking status. Participants who are men, in old age, having lack of supportive relationship, having low levels of education, having low income, having more comorbid diseases & medications, tend to have lower NVS score compared to others. Conclusion: We suggest extending our research results for evaluating the risky group to improve the health literacy and to develop the strategic methods for better health outcomes.

  • The present study was performed to elucidate the effect of canine electroacupuncture anesthesia on vital signs and blood gas values. Groups were divided into experimental (electroacupuncture: EA) and control (ketamine) groups. The vital signs (body temperature, respiration rate and pulse) and blood gas values (pH, $pCO_2$ and $pO_2$) of venous and arterial blood were determined. Body temperatures of EA group were significant higher than than of ketamine group at 15 min., 30 min., 45min. and 60 min. (p<0.05) after anesthesia, respectively. The respiration rates of EA group were higher than those of ketamine group, however, significant differences were not observed between both groups. The pulses of EA group were significant higher than those of ketamine group at 5 min. (p<0.05), 10 min. (p<0.01), 15 min. and 30 min. (p<0.05) after anesthesia, respectively. The arterial and venous blood pHs of ketamine group were slightly higher than those of EA group, respectively, however, no significant differences were found between both groups. Significant differences were not observed between both groups in the arterial and venous blood $pCO_2$, respectively. The arterial blood $pO_2$ of EA group was significant higher than those of ketamine group at 5 min. (p<0.05) after anesthesia. No significant differences were observed between both groups in the venous blood $pO_2$. These results suggest that the changes of vital signs and blood gas values of EA group are similar to those of ketamine group with the exception of changes in the body temperature, pulse and arterial blood $pO_2$.

  • IEEE 802.15.6 표준 기술은 인체 내부 또는 근처에서의 근거리 저전력 무선 통신을 목적으로 제안되었으며, 대부분 맥박, 혈압, ECG, EEG 신호와 같은 인체 활력 징후(Vital Sign)를 데이터 형태로 전송하게 된다. 이러한 인체 활력 징후들은 대부분 실시간으로 전송되어야 하기 때문에 데이터 생성 후 허브 노드까지 전송이 완료되는 지연 시간이 중요한 성능 지표가 된다. 하지만 IEEE 802.15.6 표준 기술의 경우 데이터 재전송이 그 다음 수퍼프레임에 이루어지는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 적응형 폴링 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 슬레이브 노드가 데이터 전송에 실패할 경우 허브 노드가 현 수퍼프레임 내에서 할당 가능한 시간 구간을 찾아 슬레이브 노드에 이를 할당하여 현 수퍼프레임 내에서 재전송이 이루어지도록 한다. 성능 분석을 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 기존 IEEE 802.15.6 표준 기술 대비 트래픽 양이 70%일 경우, 수퍼프레임이 10ms, 100ms일 때 약 61%, 73%씩 지연시간을 감소시켰다. 또한 제안한 알고리즘은 재전송으로 인한 과부하적(Bursty) 트래픽 전송 현상을 차단하는 효과도 가지고 있다. 제안한 적응형 폴링 알고리즘을 통해 시간 민감형 인체 활력 징후 트래픽은 심각한 지연 없이 전송될 수 있다.
