The Recently there has been a growing interest in health care due to the COVID-19 situation. In this paper, we intend to develop a healthcare monitoring system to provide users with smart healthcare systems in line with the healthcare 3.0 era. The system consists of a wireless network between various sensors, Android smartphones, and OLEDs using Bluetooth, and through this, a health care monitoring system capable of collecting user's biometric information and managing health by receiving data values of sensors connected to Arduino. In conclusion, the user's BPM value was calculated using the heart rate sensor, and the exercise intensity can be adjusted through this. In addition, a step derivation algorithm is implemented using an acceleration sensor, and calorie consumption can be measured using the step and weight values. As such, the heart rate, step count, calorie consumption data can be transmitted to a smartphone application through a Bluetooth module and output, and can be output to an OLED for users who are not easy to access the smartphone. This healthcare monitoring system can be applied to various groups and technologies.

We derive priority decision making on healthcare service technology standardization in the home network through the decision support process with industry professionals. We configured a research group with 4 industrial areas including Industry, Academic, Research Institution and Medical Institution. And we also applied AHP methodology for the priority decision making. The research group decides an evaluation criteria which are consisted of marketability, technology, ripple effect, strategy for national policies in order to make a priority for healthcare service on a home network. And it is also decided 7 fields and 24 sub-fields, technically. In order to make a priority for the standardization, we use an AHP methodology, that is more objective and feasible, as a decision tool. After two-phase survey that consists of paper survey and face to face meeting, we get a conclusion that home healthcare content is at the top and then wireless home network follows it.

대부분의 모바일 웨어러블 헬스케어 모니터링 의류 시스템은 생체신호를 측정할 수 있는 센서와 데이터 취득과 무선 통신 및 제어를 담당하는 회로부, 이들을 내장하는 의복으로 구성된다. 기존의 의복형 헬스케어 시스템은 센서를 의복에 장시간 내장하기가 어렵고, 피부 접촉 시 시간에 따라 저항 값이 변화하기 때문에 장기적인 생체 신호 모니터링이 쉽지 않으며, 센서 전극과 회로 사이에 존재하는 신호선의 물리적 장애 요인도 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여, PVDF에 PEDOT 재료를 코팅하여 만든 패브릭 나노웹 ECG 전극과 PVDF 필름을 사용한 호흡 센서를 $10\;{\mu}m$ 두께의 디지털 실을 이용하여 사용자의 의류와 일체화하였다. 탈부착이 가능한 무선 블루투스(Bluetooth) 내장 스테이션과 디지털실로 기존 의류와 일체화한 생체 신호 측정용 의류 제작을 통해, 휴대폰에서 손쉽게 심전도(ECG)와 맥박신호를 표시 할 수 있었다.

Nowadays, wireless communication has a great advantage in technology. We use wireless devices almost in all expected life such as: entertainment, working and recently in the healthcare area, where Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) become a hot topic for researchers and system designers. Recent work on WBANs focus on related issues to communication protocol, especially ZigBee network is fine tuned to meet particular requirements in healthcare area. For example, some papers present real-time patient monitoring via ZigBee communication given the short distance between body sensors and remote devices, while the other work solve the limited coverage problem of Zigbee by designing mechanisms to relay Zigbee data to other types of wire or wireless infrastructure. However, very few of them investigate the scenarios of ZigBee coexisting or integrated with other networks. In this paper, we present the real-time data transmission from ZigBee end devices to Wide Area Network (WAN), Worldwide interoperation for microwave access network (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution network (LTE). We provide in detail the ZigBee gateway components. Our simulation is conducted by OPNET, we visualize many topology network scenarios in ZigBee hybrid system. The results in simulation show that ZigBee end devices can successfully transmit data in real-time to other network end devices.

Because currently available wireless technologies are not appropriate for wireless body area networks (WBANs), the IEEE 802.15.6 standard was introduced by the IEEE 802.15.6 Task Group to satisfy all the requirements for a monitoring system that operates on, in, or around the human body. In this work, we develop an analytical model for evaluating the performance of an IEEE 802.15.6-based WBAN under saturation condition and a noisy channel. We employ a three-dimensional Markov chain to model the backoff procedure as specified in the standard. Probability generating functions (PGFs) are used to compute the performance descriptors of the network. The results obtained from the analytical model are validated by simulation results. Our results indicate that under saturation condition, the medium is accessed by the highest user priority nodes at the vast majority of time while the other nodes are starving.

E-Health allows you to supersede the central patient wireless healthcare system. Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) is the first phase of the e-Health system. In this paper, we aim to understand e-Health architecture and configuration, and attempt to minimize energy consumption and latency in transmission routing protocols during restrictive latency in data delivery of WBSN phase. The goal is to concentrate on polling protocol to improve and optimize the routing time interval and schedule communication to reduce energy utilization. In this research, two types of network models routing protocols are proposed - elemental and clustering. The elemental model improves efficiency by using a polling protocol, and the clustering model is the extension of the elemental model that Destruct Supervised Decision Tree (DSDT) algorithm has been proposed to solve the time interval conflict transmission. The simulation study verifies that the proposed models deliver better performance than the existing BSN protocol for WBSN.

Several studies made for wireless mesh networks aim to optimize the capacity for wireless networks. Aside from protocol improvements, researches were also done on the physical layer particularly on modulation techniques and antenna efficiency schemes. This paper is concerned with the capacity improvements derived from using spatial diversity with smart adaptive array antennas. The use of spatial diversity, which has been widely proposed for use in cellular networks in order to lessen frequency re-use, can be used in mesh networks both to minimize co-channel interference (CCI) and enable multiple transmissions. This paper aims to study the capacity region and bounds in using smart antennas for single-channel multi-radio systems in relation to the number of spatial diversity or sectors as defined by the beam angle $\beta$.

헬스케어는 정보통신기술을 활용하여 원거리에서 대상자들의 건강상태에 대한 모니터링과 홈 기반의 보건의료 서비스를 제공하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 헬스케어 서비스는 응급상황 대처를 위한 경보서비스와, 진료자 및 가족에게 대상자와 댁내 환경을 모니터링 할 수 있는 원격지원 서비스로 분류할 수 있다. 여기서, 일반적인 유선 기반의 고정형 생체계측 시스템에서는 두 가지 서비스를 위해서, 실시간으로 높은 신뢰성을 갖는 데이터를 전송하는데 한계가 있다. 그러므로 대상자가 공간적으로 구속을 받지 않고 자유롭게 이동하면서 생체신호 계측 및 응급경보가 가능하도록, 무선 네트워크 환경에서 구현되는 휴대용 헬스케어 시스템을 구현하고자 한다.

E-health services have provided interoperability between personal health devices in personal area network, based the ISO/IEEE 11073 standard. In the healthcare system, the manager handles most agents concurrently through wireless communication. However, due to the distance limitation and the increased number of agents, it may be difficult to provide continuous connectivity. Recently, body area devices have been equipped with various applicable agents, which can even handle agents on behalf of the manager. A BAD may act as an intermediary device to increase system efficiency and performance. In this study, a device called "proxy", which can be installed as software on BAD devices, is proposed. The data measured by an agent can be sent to the proxy first, and subsequently be sent to the manager again. Agents and the manager are not aware of the proxy existence and work normally without the proxy. Furthermore, a new smart proxy and modified manager are proposed. The smart proxy acts as one agent handling measurement data from several agents, which can transmit a significant amount of data at once. The proxy and smart proxy maintain compatibility with existing devices that conform to the 20601 standard. The proposed schemes are verified and the complexities of devices are analyzed. The analysis shows no significant difference among the proxy, smart proxy, and manager. Simulations exhibit that the proposed schemes can improve the system performance.
