Abstract

The new medical device technologies for bio-signal information and medical information which developed in various forms have been increasing. Information gathering techniques and the increasing of the bio-signal information device are being used as the main information of the medical service in everyday life. Hence, there is increasing in utilization of the various bio-signals, but it has a problem that does not account for security reasons. Furthermore, the medical image information and bio-signal of the patient in medical field is generated by the individual device, that make the situation cannot be managed and integrated. In order to solve that problem, in this paper we integrated the QR code signal associated with the medial image information including the finding of the doctor and the bio-signal information. bio-signal. System implementation environment for medical imaging devices and bio-signal acquisition was configured through bio-signal measurement, smart device and PC. For the ROI extraction of bio-signal and the receiving of image information that transfer from the medical equipment or bio-signal measurement, .NET Framework was used to operate the QR server module on Window Server 2008 operating system. The main function of the QR server module is to parse the DICOM file generated from the medical imaging device and extract the identified ROI information to store and manage in the database. Additionally, EMR, patient health information such as OCS, extracted ROI information needed for basic information and emergency situation is managed by QR code. QR code and ROI management and the bio-signal information file also store and manage depending on the size of receiving the bio-singnal information case with a PID (patient identification) to be used by the bio-signal device. If the receiving of information is not less than the maximum size to be converted into a QR code, the QR code and the URL information can access the bio-signal information through the server. Likewise, .Net Framework is installed to provide the information in the form of the QR code, so the client can check and find the relevant information through PC and android-based smart device. Finally, the existing medical imaging information, bio-signal information and the health information of the patient are integrated over the result of executing the application service in order to provide a medical information service which is suitable in medical field.

신규 의료기기 개발 기술의 발전으로 다양한 형태로 손쉽게 생체 정보 및 의료 정보를 얻을 수 있는 기술이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 정보 수집 기술과 기기들의 증가로 생체 정보는 일상생활의 라이프로그와 함께 의료서비스의 주요 정보로 활용되고 있다. 그러나 다양한 생체신호의 활용성이 증가하고 있지만 보안적인 측면을 고려하지 않는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 또한, 의료현장에서 환자의 생체신호와 의료영상정보는 개별적인 디바이스에 의해 생성되며, 통합 관리되지 못하는 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 생체신호와 의사의 소견정보를 포함하여 QR 코드화하고 이와 연계된 의료영상정보와 통합하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 의료영상정보 표준인 DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine)과 기존 생체신호 계측기들로부터 수집된 생체신호를 QR 코드화하여 의료영상정보에 통합한 이미지 파일 스킴을 제시한다. 그리고 시스템 구현 환경은 의료영상기기와 생체신호 수집을 위한 생체신호 계측기 그리고 스마트 디바이스와 PC로 구성하였다. 의료기기나 생체 신호 계측장치로부터 데이터를 전송 받기 위한 의료영상이미지 정보와 생체신호의 ROI 추출을 위하여 .NET Framework를 사용하여 QR 서버 모듈을 윈도우 서버 2008 운영체제에서 운영되도록 구현하였다. QR 서버 모듈의 주요기능은 의료영상기기로부터 생성된 DICOM파일을 파싱하고, 식별 ROI 정보를 추출하여 데이터베이스에 저장하여 관리한다. 또한, EMR, OCS와 같은 환자의 의료정보는 기본 정보 및 긴급상황 시 필요한 ROI 정보를 추출하여 QR코드화 하여 관리한다. 또한 생체 계측 기기로 환자 식별에 사용될 PID (patient identification) 와 함께 생체 정보를 전송 받을 경우 생체 정보의 크기에 따라 이를 해당 환자의 ROI와 함께 QR코드화 하여 관리하며, 생체 정보 파일 또한 저장하여 관리한다. 전송받은 생체정보가 QR코드로 변환할 최대 사이즈 이상일 경우 서버를 통해 생체정보에 접근할 수 있는 URL 정보를 QR코드화 한다. 또한 QR 코드 형태로 제공되는 정보는 .NET 프레임워크가 설치된 PC와 Android기반의 스마트 단말기상에 뷰어 프로그램을 통해 확인함으로 인증된 클라이언트만이 관련 정보를 확인할 수 있도록 하였다. 끝으로 응용 서비스의 수행결과를 통해 기존 의료영상정보와 생체신호 그리고 환자의 건강정보가 통합되어 의료현장에서 적용하는데 적합한 의료정보 서비스를 제공함을 보였다.
