U-healthcare는 종래의 헬스케어 영역에 유비쿼터스 기술을 접목하여 개인의 건강상태 관리를 도와주는 서비스이다. 이의 기반이 되는 기술인 질환 유무를 판별하는 기법은 그 동안 헬스케어 영역에 적용시켜 왔다. 하지만, 적시에 언제 어디서나 지속적인 모니터링이 요구되는 U-health환경에서는 기존의 기계학습기법을 그대로 적용하는 데에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 통계기반의 질환 유무 판별 기법을 제안한다. 본 판별 기법은 질환 판별에 이용되는 생체신호와 신체증상의 종류로 배열 구조를 설정하고 축적된 데이터로부터 생체신호와 신체증상간의 쌍에 누적 빈도 수를 기록하여 학습한 뒤 고안한 판별식을 적용시켜 사용자의 질환을 판별하는 기법이다. 제한적인 검증이지만 약 360명의 실제 환자 데이터를 이용하여 기법을 검증하였고, 빠른 속도와 지속적인 개선이 가능한 기법임을 알 수 있었다. 추후 정확한 데이터를 기반으로 다른 기법과의 비교 검증으로 엄밀한 검증이 요구된다.

The purpose of this study was to understand barriers and problems associated with physical activity of older adults in a small town and to provide improvement plans based on socio-ecological model. This study employed three independent phases including survey, accelerometer study, and photovoice. Three phases were analyzed based on nesting design among diverse mixed method designs. Among 134 older participants, 73 older individuals reported that their physical activity per week was less than 150min in the first phase. Among the 73 older individuals, 40 older individuals participated in the second phase. In the second phase, 32 older individuals does not meet at least 150min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA) suggested by DHHS. Finally, 6 older adults participated in the third phase. Five major themes emerged including 1) lack of proper information and service regarding physical activity, 2)lack of support from people close to them, 3)some limits due to chronic disease, 4)lack of appropriate facility, and 5)lack of opportunity due to existing inactive lifestyle. Based on these five themes, this study attempted to provide the improvement plans with socio-ecological model.

The aims of this study was to investigate the effect of the Tele-rehabilitation service on health promotion and quality of life for individuals with disability. The subjects were 3 men who agreed with participating in service and were assessed of health promotion level with physical/psychological scales and quality of life. The service consists of 20 sessions for 13 weeks. The results are as follows: First, all participants improved psychosocial health promotion (subjective health level) factor. Second, physical health promotion (upper limb function, strength, range of motion) maintained and improved, but there was little change. Third, the quality of life was higher than before. In addition, qualitative research showed that participants experienced a positive change in subjective health status, emotional stability, benefit, and self efficacy, and they were satisfied with the service. Based on the results, it was shown that participation helps improve the health and quality of life of the individuals with disability in the community. This study can be used it as a basic data for establishing a Tele-rehabilitation service for individuals with disability in local community.

공항은 다양한 시설들이 혼재되어 있는 복합 공간으로 원하는 장소로 이동하기 위해서는 지도나 표지판뿐만 아니라 유·무인 안내 서비스를 이용하는 것이 필수적이다. 그러나 이러한 시설 안내 서비스는 이용객의 대다수를 차지하는 비장애인을 기준으로 설계되어 있는 것이 대부분이며, 특히 청각장애인은 음성 언어인 한국어를 통한 의사소통이 어려워 이러한 안내 서비스의 사각 지대에 놓여있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 청각장애인을 대상으로 공항 내 시설 위치 안내 서비스를 제공하는 키오스크를 구현하기 위해 마커리스(makerless) 한국 수어 인식 기술을 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘들이 수어를 인식하기 위해 사용자의 신체에 마커(marker)를 부착하거나 사용에 제약이 있는 깊이, 자기장 센서 등을 활용한 데 반해, 특징점 기반의 인식 기술은 별도의 마커 없이 RGB 영상만을 활용하여 수어를 인식하기 때문에 사용자의 편의성을 극대화할 수 있는 방법이다. 영상 기반의 마커리스 수어 인식 기술을 위치 안내 키오스크에 적용함으로써 청각장애인이 다른 사람의 도움 없이 공항 시설을 쉽고 안전하게 이용할 수 있도록 지원할 수 있으며, 나아가 배리어프리 (barrier-free) 공항을 구현하는 데에 큰 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims to analyze economically active females' factors influencing problematic drinking, by their jobs. It examined the socio-demographic and health-related characteristics and problematic drinking status of economically active females over 19, by using data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They were analyzed by using IBM SPSS 25.0 and the complex sampling design. The findings show that the problematic drinking rates of economically active females were varied by their jobs: 19.1% for office job; 24.8% for manufacturing job; 12.3% for service job. The factors influencing problematic drinking were also differed by jobs: subjective heath status for office job; marital status and smoking for service job; marital status for manufacturing job. They suggest that convergent drinking management programs customized to jobs should be developed by considering the characteristics of females' physical and emotional traits and their jobs, to reduce their problematic drinking rates.

The purpose of this research is to empirically examine the effects of motivation and skill for digital devices and the Internet on the use of online services in the severely disabled people. In addition to the general effect of digital divide, particularly for the case of severely disabled people, the effects of physical and mental inconvenience of individuals were taken into account and the moderating effect was confirmed by classifying the groups that need help with online activities and those that do not. The 2018 Digital Divide Survey data of the National Information Society Agency was used for the study. As a research method, path analysis and multi-group analysis using a sequence access model to Internet use were performed. As a result, it was confirmed that even in the case of the disabled, the motivational factor affects the skill for digital device operation and Internet use, and this access skill sequentially affects the use of online services. In particular, it was found that the effect of strategic and technical skill for internet use is the most important for the use of online services for the disabled rather than the motivation or a simple operational skill for digital devices. In addition, it was found that even in the disabled group, those requiring help in using the Internet was more passive in using the online service than the rest in the group. The results of this study suggest the need for stronger capacity for physical access as well as support in building strategic and technical skills that enhance responsibilities and protect from risks in using the Internet among the people with disabilities.
