  • Healthcare systems around the world are struggling to cope with the pressures of rising costs, aging populations, and decisions about how to allocate and pay for seemingly limitless advances in high-technology medical procedures. Today healthcare environments are also changing greatly in Korea. The United States healthcare is being reinvented by reducing the costs and bringing service close to the consumer, and multi-strategies are being used to strive in the market driven shift. This study is aiming to get the lesson and direction of the future healthcare facilities in Korea by analysing the past and current trends of healthcare facilities in U.S..

  • IPv6 and Ubiquitous Healthcare Environment (UHE) has become a main stream of the next generation technologies. IPv6 is designed in many ways with enhanced features such as a routing, mobility, scalability, QOS and security as a replacement of IPv4. Also, UHE is developed to provide patients with convenience and efficient healthcare services using the remote home healthcare system. However, IPv4 currently used as an Internet protocol does not have enough capability to fully support UHE. It may result in a restricted implementation of UHE. As a result, research on IPv6 implementations in UHE is increasingly becoming an issue within the healthcare industry. IPv6 has enhanced features to implement the remote healthcare system such as Neighbour Discovery process and address auto-configuration. In this paper, a basic of IPv6 and UHE will be firstly introduced and secondly, benefits brought by IPv6 in UHE will be discussed. In addition, security issues in IPv6 will be analysed to conclude this paper.

  • Objectives: Microbial contamination of face masks used by healthcare professionals can vary depending on the degree of exposure to bioaerosols in various healthcare environments. However, research on this topic is limited. Therefore, we analyzed microbial contamination of N95 respirators used in hospital offices, wards, and outpatient settings. Methods: Samples isolated from N95 respirators worn for 2, 4, and 6 hours were incubated at a temperature of 35-37℃ or 25-28℃ for 24 hours or for 3-7 days, and colony-forming units were counted in chocolate agar, tryptic soy agar, and Sabouraud dextrose agar plates. Total indoor airborne bacteria were also measured in the healthcare environments. Finally, microbial species were identified using Gram staining with a microscopic speculum. Results: The three types of environments did not deviate from the maintenance of standard indoor air quality. There was no difference between the microbial species identified in the healthcare environment and mask contamination. However, the number of bacteria in the masks worn in each environment differed, and the degree of contamination increased with mask-wearing time (p<0.05). Conclusions: Therefore, care must be taken to avoid recontamination of masks due to improper use and exposure to biological hazards in healthcare environments. In conclusion, scientific evidence is necessary for safe mask-wearing times. Based on the results of this study, we hope to conduct further research to establish guidelines for the safe use of face masks during respiratory disease epidemics.

  • 유헬스케어 환경에서는 M2M 기반에서 중요한 생체정보가 처리된다. M2M은 주로 무선네트워크를 기반으로 하는데, 무선네트워크는 제한된 대역폭과 낮은 신뢰성 등 극복해야할 과제가 많이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 과제를 데이터 전송효율을 높여 해결하고자 하였으며, 생체정보에 대한 높은 압축특성을 갖는 uHLZW(u-Healthcare LZW) 압축 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실험결과 기존의 압축알고리즘에 비해 1.6배에서 4배정도 압축효율이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • By using the U-Healthcare environment, it is possible to receive the health care services anywhere anytime. However, since the user's personal information can be easily exposed in the U-Healthcare environment, it is necessary to strengthen the security system. This thesis proposes the technique which can be used to protect the personal medical records at hospital safely, in order to avoid the exposure of the user's personal information which can occur due to the frequent usage of the electronic chart according to the computerization process of medical records. In the proposed system, the following two strategies are used: i) In order to reduce the amount of the system load, it is necessary to apply the partial encryption process for electronic charts. ii) Regarding the user's authentication process for each patient, the authentication number for each electronic chart, which is in the encrypted form, is transmitted through the patient's mobile device by the National Health Insurance Corporation, when the patient register his or her application at hospital. Regarding the modern health care services, it is important to protect the user's personal information. The proposed technique will be an important method of protecting the user's information.

  • 본 논문에서는 센서 및 기기로부터 받은 정보를 이용하여 헬스케어 응용 서비스를 제공하고, 이를 원격에서 모니터링 및 제어할 수 있는 분산객체그룹 프레임워크 기반의 헬스케어 흠 서비스 시스템을 제안한다. 분산객체그룹 프레임워크는 헬스케어 응용의 수행을 위해 수행객체들 및 헬스케어 지원 센서 또는 기기들의 논리적인 서비스별 그룹화와 이들 그룹간의 상호 동적연결 및 실시간 서비스를 지원한다. 제안한 시스템의 구조는 3계층으로 헬스케어 지원 센서나 기기로 이루어진 물리적 계층, 분산객체그룹 프레임워크 지원 계층, 그리고 이들 기반위에서 수행할 헬스케어 응용 구현 계층으로 구성된다. 본 시스템 환경에서 헬스케어 응용으로 위치추적 서비스, 헬스정보 서비스, 그리고 쾌적환경 서비스들을 구현하였고, 각 서비스를 통합하여 수행한 결과를 원격 데스크탑과 이동 단말기를 통해 보였다.

  • 유 무선 통신망의 발전과 스마트폰 등 무선 단말을 이용한 모바일오피스 등 무선서비스 이용이 날로 증가하고, 이를 이용한 u-Healthcare 서비스가 각광 받고 있는데, 기존의 품질 측정 기준은 단순히 속도나 에러율 등만을 고려하였기 때문에 u-Healthcare의 안정성을 보장하기 위해서는 서비스별 품질관리가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 u-Healthcare 무선서비스 사용자의 품질 보장 및 사용자 요구를 만족시키기 위한 방안으로 무선 환경을 고려한 무선서비스별 품질 측정 기준을 제시하였다. 관련 연구를 통해 3GPP, WiMAX 포럼, GSMA 등 국제 표준화 기관에서 제시한 주요성능 지표와 사업자 사례를 통해 최종 사용자 관점에서의 WiBro 환경에서 u-Healthcare를 제공하기 위한 서비스별 품질기준 체계를 확립하고 각 서비스별로 품질지표 수립의 타당성을 제시하였다.
