In this paper, we propose a low-cost wearable device that can monitor the health status of the elderly living alone in real-time. As aging is accelerating, the elderly population is rapidly increasing, and the social isolation of the elderly living alone is causing physical and mental difficulties and the number of elderly people dying alone is increasing, becoming a social problem. In this study, we propose a belly band-type wearable device that can monitor the biometric information of elderly living alone. The proposed device transmits electromyogram, electrocardiogram, and body temperature information to a remote server through an Arduino-based sensor built into the abdominal band. Transmitted information can be monitored in a web environment in real-time, and it has the feature of enabling remote monitoring of a large number of subjects with a small amount of management manpower. The research results will contribute to improving the safety and welfare of seniors living alone by not only detecting lonely deaths in advance but also responding immediately to dangerous situations that may occur in daily life.

As sensor network technologies developed, the sphere field of application is escalated unfortunately, the applicable size is smaller than the actual quantity of cattle in feedlot. In this paper, we simulated and evaluated biological data transmission performance of virtual cattle feedlot. Deducted conclusions show us a more efficient cattle control scenario is required and effective routing protocol design and modification are needed.

Recent studies on a fusion of health care system and the information and communication technology of wearable is being developed Anytime and anywhere without being constrained to measure the biological information of the user. However existing wearable monitors the measured biological information. If the user is hard to deal with for the event of dangerous situations. In this paper, it proposes a system that identifies the status of a user to correct the problem it utilizes sensors and algorithms to measure the biological information. This enables the user will be able to respond quickly to dangerous situations. In the event of a dangerous situation, such as falling or stumbling sends an emergency alert to a designated guardian.

The main goal of this paper is to propose and to test a radio protocol based CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) for the purpose of enhancing the existing medical information system. The feature of the new medical information system, Medical Application Radio System(MARS), which operating in real time is the transmission of medical information in bi-direction between the hospital control office and patients mobile stations. MARS monitors patients linked to the network by radio and provides quick alarm, flexible documentation capabilities, asnd fast treatment for the analysis of collected medical data. The existing medical information system, radio telemetry system which transfers the message of patients to the CAP(Central Access Point) unit in one way at the speed of 9.6Kbps and operates a channel frequency bandwidth. To verify the Performance of the proposed system, we have performed the numerical analysis and have implemented a test system which consists of the 2.4Ghz radio transceiver and personal computer.

This paper presents a manufacture of the multiple subjects biotelemetry system using custom CMOS IC fabricated $1.5{\mu}m$ n-well process technology. The implantable circuits of the system except sensor interface circuits including FM transmitter are fabricated on a single chip with the sire of $4{\times}4mm^{2}$. It is possible to assemble the implantable system in a hybrid package as small as $3{\times}3{\times}2.5cm$ by using this chip, It's main function is to enable continuous measurement simultaneously up to 7-channel physiological signals from the selected one among 8 subjects. Another features of this system are to enable continuous measurement of physiological signals, and to accomplish ON/OFF switching of an implanted battery by subject selection signal with command signal from the external circuit. If this system is coupled with another appropriate sensors in medical field, various physiological parameters such as pressure, pH and temperature are to be measured effectively in the near future.

We propose a biometrical information security method based on Optical Visual Cryptography in that a fingerprint data is processed by Secret Sharing method taking into account the Optical Visual Cryptography and a part of shared data transmitted through an open network. Whenever necessary the owner or the fingerprint can be authenticated by submitting his fingerprint with the other shared information.
