Abstract

Customized medical care and services timely providing effective prevention and treatment by collecting and using individuals' biomedical data are recently possible and utilized for users' health care. They are developed as the real-time health care services and information is provided to individuals by using smart phones, PC, tablet, etc. Interactive communication is supported by informing managers of analysis data and results, through collected data. It is therefore the time for constructing health care. This study attempts to prepare for patent applications of technical development at this time, by analyzing the tendency of smart wearable health care technologies, including biological signal-based health care devices and real-time health care system. Patents regarding smart wearable health care technologies were reported to have the relatively higher concentration of research development. Korea focuses on patent activities for real-time health care systems across the intervals of analysis, while U.S and European countries actively make efforts for patent activities regarding health care devices Japan conduct patent activities across health care devices and systems, based on bio-technologies. Korea has recently dominated the market of patents for bio-technologies-based health care devices and real-time health care devices and also appears to secure patents for the technologies and the market, so entry barriers to the market of smart wearable health care technologies are determined to be higher in Korea. It is important to establish the portfolios of patents, by securing patent rights for the figures of products, manufacturing methods and other related technical systems, if technologies are planned to be commercialized.

최근 개인의 생체 데이터를 수집·활용하여 적시에 효과적인 예방과 치료를 제공하는 맞춤형 의료 및 서비스가 가능하며, 사용자의 헬스케어에 활용되고 있다. 실시간 건강관리 서비스로 개발하여 스마트폰, PC 태블릿 등을 활용하여 각 개인에게 정보를 제공·수집된 데이터를 통해 경보하고 관리자에게 분석 데이터 및 결과를 알려서 양방향 커뮤니케이션을 지원하며, 이에 따른 건강관리를 구성할 수 있는 시점에 직면하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생체신호를 통한 헬스케어 디바이스와 실시간 건강관리 시스템을 포함하는 스마트 웨어러블 헬스케어 기술 동향을 분석하여 현재 시점에서의 기술개발 특허 출원에 대비하고자 한다. 스마트 웨어러블 헬스케어 기술 관련 특허는 연구개발 집중도가 비교적 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 분석 구간 전반에 걸쳐 한국은 실시간 헬스케어 시스템에 대한 특허 활동에 집중하고 있으며, 미국 및 유럽은 생체기술을 통한 헬스케어 디바이스에 대한 특허 활동을, 일본은 생체기술을 통한 헬스케어 디바이스 및 시스템 전반에 걸쳐 특허 활동을 활발하게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 생체기술을 통한 헬스케어 디바이스와 실시간 건강관리 시스템에 대한 특허는 최근 한국에서 시장을 주도하고 있으며, 해당 기술에 대한 특허 및 시장을 확보하고 있는 것으로 나타남에 따라 스마트 웨어러블 헬스케어 기술은 시장진입 장벽이 높은 분야로 판단된다. 향후 기술을 상업화시킬 계획이 있다면 제품의 형상, 제조방법 및 기타 관련 기술 시스템에 대한 특허권을 획득하여 특허 포트폴리오를 구축하는 것이 중요하다.
