Healthcare lifelog, a personal record relating to disease treatment and healthcare, plays an important role in healthcare paradigm shifts in which medical and information technology converge. Healthcare services based on various healthcare lifelogs are being launched domestically by both large corporations and small and medium enterprises, however, they are being built on an individual platform that is dependent on each company. Therefore, the terms of lifelog data are different as well as the measurement specifications are not uniform. This study proposes a reference model for minimum common data required for sharing and utilization of healthcare lifelog. Literature study and expert survey derived 3 domain, 17 essential items, and 51 sub-items. The model provides definition, measurement data format, measurement method, and precautions for each detailed measurement item, and provides necessary guidelines for data and service design and construction for healthcare service. This study has its significance as a basic research supporting the activation of ecosystem by ensuring interoperability of data between heterogeneous healthcare devices linked to digital healthcare platform.

This paper proposes an ontology-based context-aware home healthcare platform employing environmental factors obtained from home. The proposed platform manages the health of home residents, and notifies relatives or a medical team of critical condition through context-awareness based on home ontology by using information sensed from various sensors. The ontology definition of context-awareness from the sensed information provides technically more precise decision for us. Therefore the platform can be aware of the health state of residents and environment by reasoning exactly from data gathered from various sensors and heterogeneous devices. The platform also can individually provide the customized service for users by setting priority for critical status that can be occurred in the health state of residents.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered to be one of the most important research fields for ubiquitous healthcare (u-healthcare) applications. Healthcare systems combined with WSNs have only been introduced by several pioneering researchers. However, most researchers collect physiological data from medical nodes located at static locations and transmit them within a limited communication range between a base station and the medical nodes. In these healthcare systems, the network link can be easily broken owing to the movement of the object nodes. To overcome this issue, in this study, the fast link exchange minimum cost forwarding (FLE-MCF) routing protocol is proposed. This protocol allows real-time multi-hop communication in a healthcare system based on WSN. The protocol is designed for a multi-hop sensor network to rapidly restore the network link when it is broken. The performance of the proposed FLE-MCF protocol is compared with that of a modified minimum cost forwarding (MMCF) protocol. The FLE-MCF protocol shows a good packet delivery rate from/to a fast moving object in a WSN. The designed wearable platform utilizes an adaptive linear prediction filter to reduce the motion artifacts in the original electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Two filter algorithms used for baseline drift removal are evaluated to check whether real-time execution is possible on our wearable platform. The experiment results shows that the ECG signal filtered by adaptive linear prediction filter recovers from the distorted ECG signal efficiently.

As the elderly population is becoming an aging society, the elderly are experiencing many problems. Social security costs for the elderly are increasing and the un-linked social phenomenon is emerging. Thus, the social infrastructure and welfare system established in the past economic growth period are in danger of not functioning properly. People socially isolated or with chronic diseases among the elderly are exposed to various accidents. Thus, an active healthcare management service is imperative. Additionally, in the event of a dangerous situation, the system must have ways to notify guardians (family or medical personnel) regarding appropriate action. Thus, in this paper, we propose the smartphone-based healthcare and emergency response service platform. The proposed service platform aggregates movement of relevant data in real-time using a smartphone. Based on aggregated data, it will always recognize the user's movements and current state using the human motion recognition mechanism. Thus, the proposed service platform provides real-time status monitoring, activity reports, a health calendar, location-based hospital information, emergency situation detection, and cloud messaging server-based efficient notification to several subscribers such as family, guardians, and medical personnel. Through this service, users or guardians can augment the level of care for the elderly through the reports. Also, if an emergency situation is detected, the system immediately informs guardians so as to minimize the risk through immediate response.

ICT는 제조기반 산업사회에서 가치사슬의 효율성/효과성의 지원을 목적으로 도입되었으나 정보기반 산업사회에서는 ICT가 시장 가치 창출의 주체가 되어 다중 가치사슬의 형성 가능성을 기대하게 하였다. 즉, ICT의 발전은 공급 및 수요의 다변화와 다양성의 동인이 되면서 가치를 창출하기 시작했고, 이를 중심으로 하는 신 가치 사슬의 등장은 구 가치사슬과의 충돌의 문제를 야기하였다. 즉, 다중 가치사슬이 존재 가능한 플랫폼에서는 가치사슬 간의 충돌, 중첩, 생성, 상실 등의 동적 상황 등에 따른 신/구 가치의 창출과 소멸 등이 발생하게 된다. 예를 들어, ICT에 기반을 둔 우버택시 서비스는 신 가치사슬을 형성하여 택시서비스 시장에서 신/구 가치사슬간의 충돌을 야기했다. 제조기반 산업사회에서는 단일 가치사슬의 시장 선점이 중요하였으나, ICT 기반 융합 제품/서비스/정보가 유통되는 플랫폼에서는 시장 상황 변수의 동적 변화에 따라 다중의 가치사슬이 존재하면서 서로 충돌과 공존을 야기하게 되었다. 따라서 ICT에 기반을 둔 지능형 정보사회의 발전과 함께 시장가치 최대화를 위해 다중 가치사슬 간 충돌 최소화와 공존의 최대 가능성을 높일 수 있는 모형의 제시가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 의료서비스 시장을 중심으로 하는 다중 가치사슬의 동적 플랫폼 형성에 대해 논의한다. 즉, 의료서비스 시장에 ICT 기반 원격 및 지능형 의료서비스 등이 구 시장에 진입함으로써 발생하는 가치사슬 간의 충돌을 최소화하고 공존 가능성을 높이기 위한 공존 요인 변수에 대해 논의 한다. 이를 위해 다중의 공급과 소비 및 서비스가 존재 가능한 다중 가치사슬이 충돌 및 중첩하는 과정에서 공존 요인 변수 등에 기반하여 가치 사슬들을 동적으로 생성/변화/소멸 및 공존하기까지 의료서비스 플랫폼에 대해 논의한다. 또한 플랫폼 내의 각 가치사슬의 생산가치의 증가와 가치사슬 간의 상호 작용에 의한 부가가치의 창출 등에 의해 플랫폼의 총 가치가 증가 될 수 있음을 논의한다. 마지막으로 공존 모형을 제안하고 실험을 통해 가치사슬 간의 공존 가능성을 제시한다.

In the 4th Industrial Revolution, the healthcare industry is undergoing a paradigm shift from post-care and management systems based on diagnosis and treatment to disease prevention and management based on personal precision medicine. To optimize medical services for individual patients, an open ecosystem for the healthcare industry that allows the exchange and utilization of personal health records (PHRs) is required. However, under the current system of hospital-centered data management, it is difficult to implement the linking and sharing of PHRs in practice. To address this problem, in this study, we present the design and implementation of a patient-centered PHR platform using blockchain technology. This platform achieved transparency and reliability in information management by eliminating the risk of leakage and tampering/altering personal information, which could occur when using a PHR. In addition, the patient-consent system was applied to a PHR; thus, the patient acted as the user with ownership. The proposed blockchain-based PHR platform enables the integration of personal medical information with scattered distribution across multiple hospitals, and allows patients to freely use their health records in their daily lives and emergencies. The proposed platform is expected to serve as a stepping stone for patient-centered healthcare data management and utilization.
