The medical industries are integrated with information technology with mobile devices and wireless communication. The advent of mobile healthcare systems can benefit patients and hospitals, by not only providing better quality of patient care, but also by reducing administrative and medical costs for both patients and hospitals. Security issues present an interesting research topic in wireless and pervasive healthcare networks. As information technology is developed, many organizations such as government agencies, public institutions, and corporations have employed an information system to enhance the efficiency of their work processes. For the past few years, healthcare organizations throughout the world have been adopting health information systems (HIS) based on the wireless network infrastructure. As a part of the wireless network, a mobile agent has been employed at a large scale in hospitals due to its outstanding mobility. Several vulnerabilities and security requirements related to mobile devices should be considered in implementing mobile services in the hospital environment. Secure authentication and protocols with a mobile agent for applying ubiquitous sensor networks in a healthcare system environment is proposed and analyzed in this paper.

The interest and importance of the convergence services for healthcare expand more and more as the average life expectancy increases. Convergence of ICT and healthcare technology unfold efficient and quick health services. Recently, healthcare services provide to clients with apps over web. On-demand wireless data broadcast supports any number of clients to access their desired data items dynamically by responding the needs for data items from the clients. In this paper, we propose an on-demand system to broadcast FHIR bundles for efficient healthcare services. We use time-parameterized replacing policy for renewing the bundle items on the wireless broadcast channel. The policy lets the on-demand broadcasting dynamic by controlling the time duration for the bundles to reside over the wireless channel. With simulation studies using an implemented testbed, we evaluate the performances of the proposed system in access time and tuning time. For evaluation, we compare the time-parameterized replacing policy of the proposed system with regular-number replacing policy. The proposed time-parameterized replacing policy shows shorter access time than the regular-number replacing policy because the policy responds more actively and dynamically to the change of the needs of the clients for FHIR bundles.

Small size real-time ECG signal analysis function by QRS-complex detection was put into sensor nodes. Wireless sensor nodes attached on the patient’s body transmit ECG data continuously in normal u-healthcare system. So there are heavy communication traffics between sensor nodes and gateways. New developed platform for real-time analysis of ECG signals on sensor node can be used as an advanced diagnosis and alarming system for healthcare. Sensor node does not need to transmit ECG data all the time in wireless sensor network and to server PC via gateway. When sensor node detects suspicion or abnormality in ECG, then the ECG data in the network was transmitted to the server PC for further powerful analysis. This system can reduce data packet overload and save some power in wireless sensor network. It can also increase the server performance.

As telecommunication technologies in telemedicine services are developed, the expeditious development of wireless and mobile networks has stimulated wide applications of mobile electronic healthcare systems. However, security is an essential system requirement since many patients have privacy concerns when it comes to releasing their personal information over the open wireless channels. Due to the invisible feature of mobile signals, hackers have easier access to hospital networks than wired network systems. This may result in several security incidents unless security protocols are well prepared. In this paper, we analyzed authentication and authorization procedures for healthcare system architecture to apply secure M-health systems in the hospital environment. From the analyses, we estimate optimal requirements as a countermeasure to its vulnerabilities.

Ubiquitous healthcare monitoring and measuring system based on wireless sensor network was implemented and tested. The system can measure the ECG and body temperature of patients or elderly persons and transfer the data wirelessly in ad-hoc network to remote base-station connected to doctor's PDA/PC or hospital server, using wireless sensor motes. The data obtained can be analyzed by doctors and care providers to monitor a health status of patient in real time environment. To prove the capabilities of the wireless sensor network platform for ubiquitous healthcare applications, the performance of our monitoring and measuring system was tested with positive results.

A distributed healthcare monitoring system prototype for clinical and trauma patients was developed, using wireless sensor network node. The proposed system aimed to measure various vital physiological health parameters like ECG and body temperature of patients and elderly persons, and transfer his/her health status wirelessly in Ad-hoc network to remote base station which was connected to doctor's PDA/PC or to a hospital's main Server using wireless sensor node. The system also aims to save the cost of healthcare facility for patients and the operating power of the system because sensor network is deployed widely and the distance from sensor to base station was shorter than in general centralized system. The wireless data communication will follow IEEE 802.15.4 frequency communication with ad-hoc routing thus enabling every motes attached to patients, to form a wireless data network to send data to base-station, providing mobility and convenience to the users in home environment.

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.

A home healthcare system based wireless sensor network, which can continuously monitor and manage the elderly's electrocardiogram(ECG) signal at any space at home without space limit is proposed. The communication coverage of wireless network is expended by multi-hop wireless sensor network. In order to send the elderly's ECG data wirelessly, a small size ECG sensor node was designed to forward the ECG data over multi-hop relay network. The packet acquired by mobile ECG node is transmitted through wireless intermediate nodes to base station for analyzing the packet reception rate. Modified minimum cost forwarding(MMCF) protocol and flooding protocol are designed and implemented to check the transmission efficiency of a packet in a wireless sensor network. The developed MMCF protocol shows an advantage of high reception rate by reduced network traffic.

센서네트워크 구성은 특정 상황이나 환경에 대한 센싱이 가능한 센서, 수집된 정보를 처리하는 프로세서, 그리고 데이터를 송수신하는 장치 등 이다. 센서네트워크는 많은 유익함을 제공하지만 무선 네트워크 보안 취약성을 해결하지 않은상태로 정보노출 위험이 다양하게 존재한다. u-Healthcare 센서 네트워크는 센서 노드의 크기가 작아 전력소모 및 컴퓨팅 능력, 메모리 등에 제한이 가해지며, 무선을 통해 센싱된 값을 전달하는 특징을 가지므로 도청, 서비스거부, 라우팅 경로 공격이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 센싱기능을 중심으로 한 u-Healthcare 시스템 환경의 무선보안 취약성 요소를 진단하고 u-Healthcare 보안 프레임워크 설계방법을 제시한다. 센서네트워크 기술들이 보안취약성에 대한 대책 강구 없이 기술만 발전한다면 기술이 정상적으로 활용되지 못하고 위협의 요소가 될 것이다. 이 연구를 통해 제안되는 u-Healthcare 시스템의 보안 위험 대처방법은 다양한 현장에서 의료정보와 이용자보호의 중요한 가이드로 활용될것이다.

최근 의료 분야는 환자 데이터를 무선으로 전달하는 모바일 헬스케어 시스템을 사용한다. 그러나 현재 환자에게 지원하는 메시지는 특정 환자를 만족시키기는 어렵고, 당뇨환자이나 임신부와 같은 정기적인 환자 관리를 도와주는 헬스케어 시스템이 부족하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 WPAN의 네트워킹 및 데이터 전송방식과 응용 프레임워크를 적용하여, 특히 임신부를 대상으로 임신확인부터 주기별 건강관리, 태아움직임, 태교 및 건강상식 등을 관리하는 스마트폰을 이용한 헬스케어 스케줄링 애플리케이션을 제안하였다.
