노인인구의 급증에 따라 노인 건강에 대한 관심이 증가하였고 노인 낙상을 발견하는 방법에 대한 관심도 함께 대두되기 시작하였다. 낙상 사고의 경우 낙상을 일으킨 원인보다 낙상이 제때 감지되지 않아 발생하는 이후의 상황이 더욱 심각한 결과를 초래한다. 따라서 낙상이 발생했을 때, 바로 낙상을 감지할 수 있는 시스템 구축이 필요하다. 다양한 낙상 검출을 위한 방법이 존재하지만 그 중 착용이 쉽고 원격지에서 관찰 및 관리가 가능한 웨어러블(Wearable) 기기의 센서 데이터를 사용한 낙상 검출을 진행하였다. 본 논문에서는 머신 러닝 모델들을 사용해서 낙상 검출 성능 비교 및 적절한 모델을 제안한다. 기계 학습 기반의 모델인 결정 트리(Decision Tree), 랜덤 포래스트(Random Forest), SVM(Support Vector Machine)을 사용하여 실제 측정된 데이터에 낙상 검출 학습 능력을 정량화하였다. 또한, 모델의 입력 값에 적용한 데이터 분할, 전처리 및 특징 추출 방법을 통해서 효율적인 낙상 검출을 위한 기계학습 관점에서의 타당성을 판단하고자 한다.

This paper describes a real-time reliable measurement and analysis system for ubiquitous healthcare based on IEEE802.15.4 standard. In order to obtain and monitor physiological body signals continuously, wearable pulse oximeter is designed in wrist that could used to measure oxygen saturation of a patient unobtrusively. The measured data was transferred to a central PC or server by using wireless sensor nodes via a wireless sensor network for storage and analysis purposes. LabVIEW server program was designed to monitor and process the measured photoplethysmogram(PPG) to accelerated plethysmogram(APG) by appling second order derivatives in server PC. These experimental results demonstrate that APG can precisely describe the features of an individual's PPG and be used as estimation of vascular elasticity for blood circulation.

In this paper, proposes a health status monitoring system for socially marginalized elderly households living alone. This system is implemented by collecting various PHR biometric signals and residential environment information through IoT devices. In addition, the company aims to establish a basic infrastructure that can understand the situation of lonely deaths and implement prevention programs by strengthening the predictive ability through data analysis of the DB server based on PHR and information collected from IoT sensors. The sensor consists of an environmental information collection sensor and a noncontact and wearable sensor for biometric signal collection. A gateway is required to transmit the collected data to the server, and the prototype is presented in this paper. The paper has a discussion purpose of policy task for expanding medical welfare service. The results of this study are believed to help expand services to the socially marginalized and improve the medical environment of the people.

This paper proposed a new concept of global healthcare system based on M2M technology with the combination of networks by using IPv6 techniques. The proposed system consists of 6LoWPAN based wearable sensors, gateway for the connection of different networks, and server program offering health information. Thus our approach presents an intelligent system which allows direct exchange of information between machines without human assistance with the epoch-making extension of measurement environment in healthcare areas appropriately.

In this paper, a mobile robot capable of remote control is designed in consideration of the user's various work environments. Specifically, a mobile remote work robot that moves in a predetermined direction and can perform a series of tasks in synchronization with the user's hand movements, and a control system and control method for controlling the robot were proposed. It was implemented using a robot hand and a wheel for movement to assist in tasks such as transporting dangerous goods or heavy goods. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed robot, the maximum weight that can be carried by the robot hand and the movable inclination of the robot were tested, and the test evaluation results satisfied most of the targeted design specifications.

Due to the rapid advance of IT technologies such as mobile communication, sensor network, wearable computer, and so on, the needs of embedded software has increased. In those domain areas, the development of low-power embedded software is one of critical issues to enhance servicability of the system because almost embedded system depends on battery-based power supply system. Therefore this paper identifies the factors that can reduce the power consumption in embedded software operation, and proposes the method that how to handle the factors in software development process. Even though the existing and general studies about power reduction has been performed with code-based analysis, this analysis approach can lead reworks when the requirement for power consumption was not met. Our proposed techniques will support the power reduction in embedded software development process whenever the code was not developed. Our proposed process for lop-power embedded software development can gives the high quality in power-related serviceability.

It is important for the strategy of service to provide the health information in the environment that the healthcare has been changed focusing on the preventive medicine. Recently, the various applications of u-healthcare have been presented by researchers. In this paper, we proposed the health information monitoring system using the context sensors based band. By wearing the proposed hand, the health status is gathered and vital signals are transmitted to the connected UMPC. It can be easily monitored according to the user locations in real time. To provide the health index according to the temperature, the air conditioning, the illumination, the humidity, and the ultraviolet rays, we use the various XML links extracted from RSS of the Korea Meteorological Administration. The health information is analyzed in terms of factors, such as, the asthma index, the stroke index, the skin disease index, the pulmonary disease index, the pollen concentration index, and the city high temperature index. Ultimately, this paper suggests empirical application to verify the adequacy and the validity with the proposed system. Accordingly, the satisfaction and the quality of services will be improved the healthcare.

Sleep apnea, a medical condition associated with a variety of complications, is generally monitored by standard sleep polysomnography, which is expensive and uncomfortable. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an unconstrained wearable monitoring system with stretch-fiber sensors that integrate with the wearer's clothing. The system allows patients to undergo examinations in a familiar environment while minimizing the occurrence of skin allergies caused by adhesive tools. As smart clothing for adult males with sleep apnea, long-sleeved T-shirts embedding fibrous sensors were developed, enabling real-time monitoring of the patients' breathing rate, oxygen saturation, and airflow as sleep apnea diagnostic indicators. The gauge factor was measured as 20.3 in sample 4. The maximum breathing intake, measured during three large breaths, was 2048 ml. the oxygen saturation was measured before and during breath-holding. The oxygen saturation change was 69.45%, showing a minimum measurable oxygen saturation of 70%. After washing the garment, the gauge factor reduced only to 18.0, confirming the durability of the proposed system. The wearable sleep apnea monitoring smart clothes are readily available in the home and can measure three indicators of sleep apnea: respiration rate, breathing flow and oxygen saturation.
