In this paper, we designed and implemented ubiquitous u-Health system using RFE and ZigBee. We made a wireless protocol Kit which combines RFE Tag recognition and ZigBee data communication capability. The software is designed and developed on the TinyOS. Wireless communication technologies which hold multi-protocol stacks with RFID and result in the wireless ubiquitous world could be Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.11x WLAN and so on. The environments that the suggested u-Health system may be used is un-manned nursing, which would be utilized in dense sensor networks such as a hospital. The the size of devices with RFID and ZigBee will be so smaller and smaller as a bracelet, a wrist watch and a ring. The combined wireless RFID-ZigBee system could be applied to applications which requires some actions corresponding to the collected (or sensed) information in WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) and/or WPAN(Wireless Person Area Network). The proposed ubiquitous u-Health system displays some text-type alert message on LCD which is attached to the system or gives voice alert message to the adequate node users. RFE will be used as various combinations with other wireless technologies for some application-specific purposes.

본 논문은 U-Health 장치 인터페이싱을 위하여 표면 근전도를 이용한 손동작 특징들의 모델링 알고리즘에 대하여 제안하였다. 지금까지 연구에서는 표면 근전도를 측정하기 위하여 전완의 여러 부위에서 신호를 측정하였지만 휴대용 U-Health 장치들의 특성상 센서를 부착 할 수 있는 공간이 한정 되어있기 때문에 한 채널당 손동작의 인식률이 높아야하고 착용하기 편한 위치예서 신호를 측정해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 손목 근처의 수지신근(finger extensor)과 소지신근(extensor digiti minimi) 사이에 생체신호 센서를 부착하는 것을 제안했으며, 적은 수의 센서에서도 손동작에 따른 충분한 근전도 패턴을 구분해 내기 위하여 3차원 공간상에서 시간과 스케일 정보를 분석할 수 있는 다해상도 웨이블릿을 이용하였다. 정밀한 근전도 분석을 위하여 모 웨이블릿을 신경 신호의 활동전위(action potential)와 가장 유사한 형태를 가지고 있는 Daubechies 4 (db4)로 선택하였고, 이렇게 웨이블릿 분석을 통하여 1차원 신호를 16레벨로 나누어 각 신호에 대하여 에너지를 200 ms 간격으로 평가함으로서 7가지 손동작 인식을 위한 패턴 모델을 구하였다.

Purpose: This study sought to ascertain and describe u-Health nurses (ubiquitous healthcare nurse, tele-nurse)' experiences working with low-income elders in Korea. Methods: Data were collected through semi-structured interview, focus group interviews of 6 nurses and participant observations in community places in public rental housing in the city of Seoul. The ethnographical analysis method, proposed by Spradley, was used to analyze interview data. Results: We identified two major clusters of themes on common issues and concerns experienced by nurses: "work environment" and "daily work life." In addition, ten themes and fourteen sub-themes were extracted from the field work data. Conclusion: The study provided a deeper understanding of the experiences and services of u-Health nurses in Korea, of which much remains to be understood, as the healthcare services they currently provide are limited. Moreover, its findings could empower novice nurses and expand nurse's professional knowledge and competence.

A total of 108 strains of MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) clinical isolates was collected from $121^{st}$ general hospital (U.S. military hospital), Korean healthcare facility from January to March in 2005 and Wonju Christian hospital in 1999. Antimicrobial susceptibility test by Vitek System and MIC test using oxacillin and cephalothin stripes by E-test were executed. PCR based detection of mecA gene was performed on the all of MRSA clinical isolates, too. MRSA clinical isolates were characterized with antimicrobial resistance patterns, PCR based detection of mecA gene and validation of the multiplex PCR strategy of SCCmec among clinical isolates.

건강과 복지에 대한 사람들의 관심이 증대함에 따라 고령층 인구를 중심으로 병원에서 건강 점검 및 진료가 이루어졌던 기존의 Health산업 패러다임에서 연령층에 관계없이 언제, 어디서나 진료를 받을 수 있는 u-Health산업 패러다임으로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 발맞추어 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 혈압, 맥박, 심전도 등과 같은 의료정보뿐만 아니라 일상생활에서 획득한 정보를 통해 건강증진, 질병예방, 진료를 가능하게 하는 u-LifeCare 의료체계가 필요하다. u-LifeCare 를 지원하는 미들웨어는 유비쿼터스 환경에서 필수적인 기술 요소인 센서 네트워크 미들웨어와 상황인지 미들웨어를 통합하는 미들웨어이며, 라이프케어의 특성을 고려한 '초경량(LightWeight)의, 확장성(Scalability)있는, 보안성(Security)을 갖춘' 미들웨어이다.

Recent days, the global warming problem due to excessive use of fossil fuels has been the world wide issue so that Korea government and developed countries make an alternative plan for eco-friendly and transportations by utilizing bicycles for health promotion. Existing Public Bicycle Rental Service Systems provide simple service such as bicycle rental management and tracking the location. However there is no user-side service for the information of the measure of carbon reduction, or use of bicycles. The proposed system in this paper provides users' health information, environmental information, personal information, counseling services and the measures of carbon reduction. The new system has been developed to carry out reducing carbon and growing green in terms of using bicycles by adopting Web 2.0 technology.

This study developed a prediction model using machine learning technology and predicted the success of health consulting by using life log data generated through u-Health service. The model index of the Random Forest model was the highest using. As a result of analyzing the Random Forest model, blood pressure was the most influential factor in the success or failure of metabolic syndrome in the subjects of u-Health service, followed by triglycerides, body weight, blood sugar, high cholesterol, and medication appear. muscular, basal metabolic rate and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were increased; waist circumference, Blood sugar and triglyceride were decreased. Further, biometrics and health behavior improved. After nine months of u-health services, the number of subjects with four or more factors for metabolic syndrome decreased by 28.6%; 3.7% of regular drinkers stopped drinking; 23.2% of subjects who rarely exercised began to exercise twice a week or more; and 20.0% of smokers stopped smoking. If the predictive model developed in this study is linked with CBR, it can be used as case study data of CBR with high probability of success in the prediction model to improve the compliance of the subject and to improve the qualitative effect of counseling for the improvement of the metabolic syndrome.
