The wireless body area networks (WBANs) consist of wearable computing devices and can support various healthcare-related applications. There exist two crucial issues when WBANs are utilized for healthcare applications. One is the protection of the sensitive biometric data transmitted over the insecure wireless channels. The other is the design of effective medical management mechanisms. In this paper, a secure medical information management system is proposed and implemented on a TinyOS-based WBAN test bed to simultaneously address these two issues. In this system, the electronic medical record (EMR) is bound to the biometric data with a novel fragile zero-watermarking scheme based on the modified visual secret sharing (MVSS). In this manner, the EMR can be utilized not only for medical management but also for data integrity checking. Additionally, both the biometric data and the EMR are encrypted, and the EMR is further protected by the MVSS. Our analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system not only protects the confidentialities of both the biometric data and the EMR but also offers reliable patient information authentication, explicit healthcare operation verification and undeniable doctor liability identification for WBANs.

의료정보 기술의 Smart 환경, Ad-hoc networking, 무선통신 환경은 u-Healthcare 요소기술과 함께 정보보안 취약성을 증가시키는 주요 요인이다. 트래픽 도메인이란 u-Healthcare 의료정보시스템을 통과하는 트래픽 구간의 구분 영역으로서 보안기술의 적용이 가능하도록 네트워크 영역을 구분하는 개념이다. 그 구분의 기준은 보안기술의 적용이 필요한 영역, 트래픽 경로와 트래픽 성격이 타 도메인과 차별화 가능한 영역, 보안기술 적용시 타 영역의 보안기능으로 기능중복이 발생치 않는 영역이다. u-Healthcare 의료정보시스템 도메인은 사용자단말구간, 공중통신망 인프라구간, 네트워킹구간, 인트라넷구간으로 도출된다. 의료정보시스템을 도메인별로 구분하여 취약점을 평가하는 이유는 도메인별로 취약점에 대한 대처방법이 다르게 도출되기 때문이다. 본 연구는 의료정보시스템 도메인을 도출하고 도메인별 보안취약성 진단체계를 설계하여 USN 기반 u-Healthcare 시스템에서의 보안대책을 강구하기 위해서이다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 모델을 사용할 경우 현재까지 막연하게 진행 되어온 USN 기반 의료정보네트워크 보안취약성 진단대책 수립 방법을 좀 더 효과적으로 수행 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

의료 환경의 변화로 인해 개인의 건강관리를 위한 유비쿼터스 헬스케어(u-헬스케어) 서비스 및 시스템에 관한 관심이 증대되고 있다. u-헬스케어 시스템은 기본적으로 생체신호를 측정하기 위한 개인건강기기, 무선통신을 통해 개인건강기기로부터 전송되는 정보를 수집하는 정보수집기, 그리고 정보수집기로부터 전송되는 개인건강정보를 저장하고 관리하기 위한 건강정보시스템 등과 같은 다양한 기기와 시스템이 결합된 복합적인 환경으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 기기 및 시스템 사이의 상호운용성을 위해 국제적으로 IEEE 11073이나 HL7과 같은 건강정보 교환 표준들이 발표되었으나, 국내에서는 이러한 표준을 적용한 u-헬스케어 시스템의 개발하여 실제 환경에 적용한 연구가 많지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 건강정보 교환을 위한 국제 표준에 기반하여 혈당, 혈압, 체성분과 같은 건강정보를 관리할 수 있는 u-헬스케어 시스템을 개발한다. 또한 경북대학교병원 내분비계 질환자 대상의 임상시험을 통해 개발한 시스템의 안정성을 검증하고, 운영 과정에서의 문제점 및 개선 방안을 찾는다.

Smart healthcare environments which merge medical and IT technology are getting ready for the third generation centering EHR from current second generation. As a basic technology for the introduction and activation of EHR systems it requires heterogeneous network interworking techniques between various wired and wireless medical devices. Interworking technology for heterogeneous network among various medical devices is needed to introduce EHR system. The heterogeneous network interworking technology is needed for construction of a reliable data system to convert each of unstructured data into structured data. Therefore, in this paper, we identify the domestic and international trends of smart medical field and analyze the characteristics of wired and wireless communication technology that is used in a heterogeneous network. and also suggest requirements needed for interworking technology and provide interworking technology based on them. we expect that proposed method which is designed for smart healthcare environments would provide a basic architecture needed for third smart medical technology generation.

Modernization of the medical healthcare system, through the use of technology, has become an important field of study today. The healthcare system is intended to efficiently deliver care and services to consumers. It is such that the healthcare system is defined as an industry which provides health services (health activities) so as to meet the health needs and demands of individuals, the family and the community. In this study, transforming healthcare so as to better meet the needs of patients will require changes in the strength of delivering care for patients who already have good access to services, while also improving the care for patients who find it harder to get the care they need.

IIoT stands for Industrial Internet of Things used in manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation in networked smart factories. Recently, IIoT's environment requires an automated control system through intelligent cognition to improve efficiency. In particular, IIoT can be applied to automatic calibration of production equipment for improved management in industrial environments. Such automation systems require a wireless network for transmitting industrial data. Self-calibration systems in laser transmission paths using wireless networks can save resources and improve production quality by real-time monitoring and remote control of laser transmission path. In this paper, we propose a wireless networked system for self-calibration of laser equipment that requires a laser transmission path, and we show the results of the prototype evaluation. The self-calibration system of laser equipment measures the coordinates of the laser points with sensors and sends them to the host using the proposed application protocol. We propose a wireless network service for the wired motor controller to align the laser coordinates. Using this wireless network, the host controls the motor by sending a control command of the motor controller in an HTTP message based on the received coordinate values. Finally, we build a prototype system of the proposed design to verify the detection performance and analyze the network performance.

Medical records must be well protected because they are needed to care for the health of patients. For that reason, user authentication and medical data encryption are essential for the security of both wired and wireless Healthcare Information Systems (HIS). The main focus of this paper is on the analysis of the numerous possible attacks and the countermeasures to overcome these attacks in Mobile Healthcare Environment (MHE) with an appropriate security protocols. To draw a conclusion, this will propose why a healthcare architecture should establish a multi-layered defense against the risks.

Ubiquitous healthcare (U-healthcare) system is one of potential applications of embedded system. Conventional U-healthcare systems are used in health monitoring or chronic disease care based on measuring and transmission of various vital signs. However, future U-healthcare system can be of benefit to more people such as stroke patients which have limited activity by providing them proper medical care as well as continuous monitoring. Recently, an electric brain stimulation treatments have been found to be a better way compared to conventional ones and many are interested in using the method toward the treatment of stroke. In this study, we proposed a remote medical treatment system using ZigBee-based wireless electric brain stimulator that can help them to get a treatment without visiting their doctors. The developed remote medical treatment system connects the doctors to the brain stimulator implanted in the patients via the internet and ZigBee communication built in the brain stimulator. Also, the system receive personal information of the connected patients and cumulate the total records of electric stimulation therapy in a database. Doctors can easily access the information for better treatment planning with the help of graphical visualization tools and management software. The developed remote medical treatment system can extend their coverage to outdoors being networked with hand-held devices through ZigBee.

본 연구에서는 ECG 신호를 측정하는 시스템에서 센서들과 기기 사이의 연결을 Zigbee 네트워크를 사용하여 무선화하고, 이를 통하여 이동성과 편리성을 제공하면서도, 병원용 ECG 기기에 준하는 데이터 정밀도를 가지는 U-healthcare용 ECG 시스템을 설계, 구현하였다. 대부분의 의료용 기기에서 이동성에 가장 문제가 되는 것은 센서와 기기를 연결하는 케이블로, 본 연구에서는 이를 줄이거나 없애는 방법으로 Zigbee를 기반으로 데이터를 송수신하는 센서 모듈과 컬렉터 모듈을 설계, 구현하여 근거리에서 동작하는 무선 네트워크를 구성하고, 이를 통하여 각 송신 모듈로부터 전송되는 데이터들을 수신하는 Zigbee-SD 전송 시스템을 설계, 구현하였다. 또한 ECG 신호의 분석과 처리에 스마트폰을 사용하여 데이터 분석과 심박수 표시를 수행하는 앱 응용 프로그램으로 구현함으로써 유비쿼터스 환경에서 이동성과 편리성을 최대한으로 제공할 수 있는 효과적인 U-healthcare 시스템을 구현하였다.
