Abstract

This paper focuses on the usability of smart healthcare based on the development of Information and Communication Technology(ICT), briefly introduces concepts and the current status related to smart healthcare, and discusses strategies and future tasks in the field of mental health welfare in the COVID-19 era. This paper first introduces the smart healthcare programs of the National Mental Health Center and the Seoul Mental Health Welfare Center. Second, we introduce various smart healthcare programs used in Germany, China, the U.S., and Australia, review the actual examples, and examine both public and private responsiveness. Finally, we examine the possibility of using smart healthcare in the mental health social work system in South Korea and examine future tasks and implications. This paper would contribute to the growth of world-class mental health social work services.

본 논문은 정보통신 기술의 발전에 기반한 스마트헬스케어의 가능성에 주목하여, 스마트헬스케어와 관련한 개념 및 현황을 간략하게 소개하고, 국내외 스마트헬스케어 사례의 고찰을 통하여 코로나19 시대 정신건강 사회복지 영역에서 스마트헬스케어의 적용 전략과 향후 과제를 논의하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 첫째, 한국 정신건강사회복지 영역에서 기존에 시도되어왔던 국립정신건강센터와 서울시 정신건강복지센터의 프로그램을 소개하였다. 둘째, 코로나19 환경의 독일, 중국, 미국, 호주의 실제 스마트헬스케어 프로그램을 소개하고 적용 사례를 고찰하여 공공 및 민간 차원의 다양한 대응을 검토하였다. 마지막으로 한국의 정신건강사회복지에서의 활용 가능성을 논의하였으며 향후 과제를 검토하며 마무리하였다. 본 논문에서 소개된 해외 사례들을 토대로 한국 사회에 실천·정책, 연구영역의 스마트헬스케어가 적극적으로 논의된다면 세계적인 수준의 정신건강사회복지 서비스 성장에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
