2008년 7월 노인장기요양보험제도 도입으로 공적 급여가 시작된 장기요양서비스 중 복지용구는 노인의 자립생활 지원 및 가족의 수발부담 경감 효과가 기대되는 중요한 서비스이다. 새로운 제도 도입 후 일 년이 경과한 현 시점에서 소비자에게 직접 복지용구를 제공하고 있는 복지용구사업소의 운영 현황을 파악하고자 전국 복지용구사업소를 대상으로 우편설문조사를 실시하였다. 194개소의 조사 자료를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 복지용구사업소는 관리, 인력, 시설, 서비스 등의 측면에서 보완해야할 여러 가지 문제들이 발견되었다. 복지용구사업소의 월매출액은 평균 797만원에 불과하여 경영상 어려움을 가질 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 배상책임보험은 절반 정도만이 가입되어 있어 사고 시 대비할 수 있는 체계가 갖추어지지 않은 경우가 많았으며, 정규직 인력 평균 2.6명 중 사회복지사 및 물리치료사는 약 20%에 불가하며 전문적 교육을 이수한 경험은 거의 없었다. 뿐만 아니라 세정소독시설을 갖춘 사업소 중 오염청결구역을 구분하는 비율은 44.8%에 불과하여 실제 세정·소독의 의미가 없는 경우가 많았다. 이에 양질의 복지용구서비스가 이루어지기 위해서는 배상책임보험 가입을 통한 불의의 사고에 대비, 복지용구 관련 인력에 대한 교육, 대여 복지용구의 세정소독 관리 강화 등이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the digital healthcare technologies including non-invasive diagnostics based on Internet of Things (IOT) are getting attention. Human exhaled breath contains a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can provide information of malfunctions of the body and presence of a specific disease. Detection of VOCs in exhaled breath using gas sensors are easy to use, safe, and cost-effective. However, accurate diagnosis of diseases is challenging because changes in concentration of VOCs are extremely small and lots of body factors directly or indirectly influence to the conditions. To overcome the limitations, highly selective nanosensors and artificial intelligent electronic nose (E-nose) systems have been mainly researched in recent decades. This review provides brief reviews of the recent studies for diabetes and lung cancer diagnosis using nanosensors and E-nose systems.
