Abstract

As the 21st century paradigm of healthcare service changes from post-therapeutic treatment to disease prevention and management in advance, the M2M-based u-healthcare application service is increasingly important. M2M-based u-healthcare application service uses mobile handsets equipped with sensors to measure vital information, and the medical staff in remote locations can manage the health of the patient or the public in real time. In this paper, IEEE/HL7 translation gateway, utilizing the gateway based on M2M u-healthcare application service structure, which is based on international standards, has been designed and implemented. Specifically, the gateway between ISO/IEEE 11073 standards and ANSI HL7 has been developed. The former defines the protocol for the exchange of information between the agent device and the manger devices for measuring and handling biological signal, and the latter defines the application layer protocol for the exchange of various healthcare information systems. Finally, in order to demonstrate the functionality of the proposed architecture, the M2M-based U-healthcare application service based on IEEE/HL7 translation gateway, utilizing the gateway, has been developed which can measure, collect and process a variety of vital signs such as ECG or SpO2.

21세기 의료서비스 패러다임이 사후 치료에서 사전 예방 및 관리 중심으로 바뀜에 따라 M2M 기반의 U-헬스케어 응용 서비스가 점차로 중요 해지고 있다. M2M 기반의 U-헬스케어 응용 서비스는 휴대단말에 장착된 센서를 통해 생체 정보를 측정하여, 원격지에 있는 의료진이 만성 질환자 혹은 일반인의 건강 상태를 실시간에 관리가 가능 하도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 국제 표준 기반의 M2M을 위한 U-헬스케어 응용 서비스 기반 IEEE 11073/HL7 변환게이트웨이 구조를 설계 및 구현 하였다. 구체적으로, 생체 신호 측정을 위한 에이전트 장치와 처리를 위한 매니저 장치간의 생체 정보 교환을 위한 ISO/IEEE 11073 표준과 다양한 보건의료 정보시스템 간의 데이터 교환을 위한 ANSI HL7 간 프로토콜 변환 게이트웨이를 설계 및 구현 하였다. 최종적으로 제안된 구조의 기능 검증을 위해, 개발된 게이트웨이를 사용하여 생체신호측정 센서 (ECG, SpO2)를 활용하여 측정, 수집 및 처리하는 M2M을 위한 U-헬스케어 응용 서비스 가반 IEEE/HL7 변환게이트웨이를 개발하였다.
