For fostering the biomedical industry, the formation of a high-tech-based innovation cluster is continuously being promoted. Accordingly, studies dealing with domestic clusters are being conducted based on case studies on major overseas clusters, but they are limited to a single case. In this paper, content analysis was used based on the literature about innovation clusters and bio-medical industry to comprehensively summarize the factors to be considered for the creation and activation of bio-medical clusters. Subsequently, the factors derived through content analysis were applied to the case of the Hongreung Innotown. The requirements for the successful creation of the Hongreung Innotown, it is required to improve settlement conditions, prepare systems to create start-up culture, and revitalize translational research, attract investment, and cooperate and connect with local clusters.

This study aimed to investigate the immunomodulatory function of Pyropia yezoensis hydrothermal (water) extract (PYWE) in comparison to the group treated only with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in RAW264.7 cells. LPS is known to be an inflammatory mediator that activates macrophages, leading to the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as defense responses. Through enzyme-linked immunoassay and western blot analyses, it was observed that PYWE increased the expression levels of NO, iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, although to a lesser extent compared with the group treated with LPS alone. In addition, the study examined the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathway, which regulates various cellular activities, including gene expression, mitosis, cell differentiation, transformation, survival, and death. The western blot analysis confirmed that PYWE also regulated the MAPKs pathway. Furthermore, the expression levels of immunomodulatory-related factors increased in the group treated with PYWE compared with the control group. Even though the effects of PYWE were usually less strong than those of LPS, the effects of PYWE increased with increasing doses compared to the control group. This suggests that PYWE could be used to control the immune system.

Acupuncture and acupressure apply needles or pressure to anatomical points for therapeutic benefit. The over 350 mapped acupuncture points in the human body can each treat various conditions, but anatomical variations make precisely locating these acupoints difficult. We propose a computer vision technique using the real-time hand and face tracking capabilities of the MediaPipe framework to identify acupoint locations. Our model detects anatomical facial and hand landmarks, and then maps these to corresponding acupoint regions. In summary, our proposed model facilitates precise acupoint localization for self-treatment and enhances practitioners' abilities to deliver targeted acupuncture and acupressure therapies.

포스트 코로나시대에는 다가올 디지털 인프라 사회에서의 스마트시티에서 안전하고 편리한 사이버 경제활동을 구현하기 위해서는 특히 비대면 디지털 환경에서 바이오인식기술의 중요성은 증대될 것으로 전망된다. 이에 따라 바이오인식 관련 국제표준화기구인 ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37(Biometrics)/SC27(Security)과 ITU-T SG17 Q10(ID Management & Telebiometrics) 등 바이오인식기술 국제 표준화 동향과 아시아바이오인식협의회(Asian Biometric Consoritum) 사실 표준화 현황을 면밀히 분석하여, 모바일기기·웨어러블 디바이스 응용분야, 디지털 헬스케어분야, 자율주행 응용분야, 국제공통·국가공용 ID카드분야, 동물보호 공학분야 등 미래의 스마트시티에서 활용될 바이오인식기술에 대한 전망과 함께 관련되는 국제표준에 대한 주요내용과 적용분야를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 통하여 향후 디지털 사회로의 대전환 시대가 도래함에 따른 생체인식기술을 적용한 스마트시티의 발전전망을 고찰하고자 한다.

Mobile healthcare is a fusion of information technology and biotechnology and is a new type of health management service to keep people's health at anytime and anywhere without regard to time and space. The WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) technology that collects bio signals and the data analysis and monitoring technology using mobile devices are essential for serving mobile healthcare. WBAN consisting of users with mobile devices meet another WBAN during movement, WBANs transmit data to the other media. Because of WBAN conflict, several nodes transmit data in same time slot so a collision will occur, resulting in the data transmission being failed and need more energy for re-transmission. In this thesis, we proposed a MAC protocol for WBAN with mobility to solve these problems. First, we proposed a superframe structure for WBAN. The proposed superframe consists of a TDMA(Time Division Muliple Access) based contention access phase with which a node can transmit data in its own time slot and a contention phase using CSMA/CA algorithm. Second, we proposed a network merging algorithm for conflicting WBAN based on the proposed MAC protocol. When a WBAN with mobility conflicts with other WBAN, data frame collision is reduced through network reestablishment. Simulations are performed using a Castalia based on the OMNeT++ network simulation framework to estimate the performance of the proposed superframe and algorithms. We estimated the performance of WBAN based on the proposed MAC protocol by comparing the performance of the WBAN based on IEEE 802.15.6. Performance evaluation results show that the packet transmission success rate and energy efficiency are improved by reducing the probability of collision using the proposed MAC protocol.

In this paper, we proposed IoT based Smart Health Service using Motion Recognition for Human UX/UI. Until now, sensor networks using M2M-based u-healthcare are using non-IP protocol instead of TCP / IP protocol. However, in order to increase the service utilization and facilitate the management of the IoT-based sensor network, many sensors are required to be connected to the Internet. Therefore, IoT-based smart health service is designed considering network mobility because it is necessary to communicate not only the data measured by sensors but also the Internet. In addition, IoT-based smart health service developed smart health service for motion detection as well as bio information unlike existing healthcare platform. WBAN communications used in u-healthcare typically consist of many networked devices and gateways. The method proposed in this paper can easily cope with dynamic changes even in a wireless environment by using a technology supporting mobility between WBAN sensor nodes, and systematic management is performed through detection of a user's motion.

반려견·반려묘 등 반려동물이 사람인구 대비 1/5인 수준인 1000만 개체로 급증하고, 이에 따른 팻산업이 6조원 규모로 급성장하는 추세와 함께 RFIP칩 신체내부이식하는 형태의 동물등록제 실시에 대한 부정적인 시각과 거부감으로 인하여 최근 들어 반려동물의 비문(일명 코지문)·홍채 등 바이오인식기술을 이용한 개체식별기술에 대한 니즈가 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 2019년 부터 반려동물에 대한 바이오인식기술을 접목한 개체식별기술을 활용하는 동물등록제 적용을 위하여 동물보호법 개정작업이 활발히 진행될 것으로 전망되며, 반려동물의 유사한 품종에 대한 개체식별 필요성에 따라 팻보험 사기예방·유기견 예방·디지털 동물병원 헬스케어서비스·팻레저·팻복지 등의 다양한 팻산업 응용분야에서 바이오인식기술을 이용한 반려동물 개체식별의 필요성은 날로 증대될 것으로 전망된다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 텔레바이오인식기반의 반려동물 개체식별기술에 대한 연구필요성과 함께 TTA PG505 등 국내표준화 추진현황과 ITU-T SG17 등 국제표준화 추진현황을 살펴보고자 한다.

This study was to investigate the types of emergencies transported by the Southwestern Coast Guard, the need for telemedicine guidance, and the perception and attitude of smart glasses as a communication method targeting 31 coast guards. A relatively high frequency and training requirement were confirmed for bleeding, abrasion, and abdominal pain. The demand for telemedicine guidance on medication and triage was higher, and the perceived usefulness and attitude scores for the use of smart glasses were 3.76±0.61 and 3.64±0.45, respectively. A moderate correlation between perceived usefulness and attitude toward smart glasses was confirmed (r=.630, p<.01). With the development of technology, it is time to actively introduce new devices such as smart glasses.
