Studies on human-centered services are approaching their highest peak with the emergence of a new concept of the network environment, a ubiquitous environment. Among these ubiquitous service technologies, services related to health care are very closely related to the current social environment. In this paper, With social aging and changes in ubiquitous IT environment, studies on health care, which is among the essential application services and which has been defined as a key application technology, and studies related to it have been conducted. In addition, healthcare services, which are essentially applicable to the ubiquitous environment, were suggested by analyzing existing healthcare studies and drawing from them the requirements for such. This paper proposes management protocol for serious case except from health care research. This system is constructed database using RFID, it has location information. It provides procedures to consistently monitor the status of patients and process the outcome in real-time.

With the evolution and development of many kinds of healthcare devices and techniques, u-health standards have emerged as a major issue. Yet, most legacy medical devices and systems are still being used without deployment of the standards. Therefore, it is required to support backward compatibility for u-health standard-compliant systems to communicate with legacy non-standard medical and healthcare devices. This paper proposes a new scheme to support backward compatibility of IEEE 11073 system by adding a codec module to IEEE 11073 agent. The codec converts data sent by non-standard health devices to IEEE 11073 MDER data. Plus, we implemented the proposed IEEE 11073 agent with an Intel Edison board which is one of popular open source H/W platforms. The IEEE 11073 manager of the proposed system can monitor and control legacy non-standard devices through the proposed agent system. In our experimental results, we examined the proposed system can support interoperability between u-health standard and non-standard devices and contribute to the growth and expansion of u-health services.

U-healthcare, which grafted advanced IT technology onto medical technology, is in the limelight because it can provide medical services at anytime and anywhere. U-healthcare system applied RFID technology for Implantable Medical Device (IMD), but patient's biometric information can be easily exposed to third parties. In this article, RFID-based U-healthcare authentication protocol is proposed to prevent illegal usage for personal biometric information exposed to the third patty. The proposed protocol guarantees patients' biometric information integrity as compounding random numbers between administrators and hospital/clinic managers, and uses continuous number SEQ and time stamp T to synchronize IMD/administrators and administrators/hospital managers. Also, to protect user's privacy from the third party, patients' biometric information can be safely guarded by managing patients' security identifiers by administrators.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons and catastrophic health expenditures. Methods: This study used secondary data from the 2014~2015 Korean Health Panel survey. The subjects of this study were 21,495 people aged 20 or older, and of them, there were 16,227 people aged 20 to 64 and 5,268 people aged 65 or older, which were surveyed between 2014 and 2015. The association between unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons and catastrophic health expenditures was analyzed through logistic regression. Results: In 2015, 1.7% of people aged 20~64 years and 7.9% of those aged 65 or older experienced unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons. In the 20~64 age group, people who repeatedly experienced catastrophic health expenditures (=10%,=20%) were less likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons than those who did not experience catastrophic health expenditures for two years (OR=0.50, OR=0.41). However, in the 65-or-older group, people who repeatedly experienced catastrophic health expenditures (=20%) were more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons than those who did not experience catastrophic health expenditures for two years (OR=1.68). Conclusion: A greater percentage of the elderly repeatedly faced both catastrophic health expenditures and unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons compared to the non-elderly.

Recently, A utilization request of the U-Healthcare services are increasing rapidly. This is because the increase in smartphone users and ubiquitous computing technology was developed. Furthermore, the demand for access to and use of medical information systems is growing rapidly with a smartphone. This system have the advantage such as they can access from anywhere and anytime in the healthcare information system using their smartphone quickly and easily. But this system have various problems that are a privacy issue, the location disclosure issue, and the potential infringement of personal information. this problems are arise very explosive. Therefore, we propose a secure information security system that can solve the security problems in healthcare information systems for healthcare workers using smartphone. Our proposed system, doctors record, store, modify and manage patient medical information and this system would be safer than the existing healthcare information systems. The proposed system allows the doctor to perform further authentication by transmitting using SMS to GOTP message when they accessing medical information systems. So our proposed system can support to more secure system that can protect user individual information stealing and modify attack by two-factor authentication scheme. And this system can support confidentiality, integrity, location information blocking, personal information steal prevent using cryptography algorithm that is easy and fast.
