This study aimed to provide basic data for 3D printing in the medical health field by developing upper wear fixation device (UWFD), an auxiliary device for shortening chest AP examination time on emergency room beds and non-contact with patients. The standard of hooks was modeled according to the bed frame using the Autodesk Fusion 360. It was printed with Form2 (Formlabs, Somerville, MA, USA), as SLA (stereo lithography apparatus) method, and was washed and hardened using Form Wash and Form Cure. The completed UWFD conducted an online survey on 4 items of stability, convenience, availability, preference and general characteristics. The total stability average was 3.93±0.80, the total convenience average was 3.93±0.68, the total availability average was 4.01±0.89, and the total preference average was 3.80±1.08. This study was significant in suggesting improvements in the general X-ray examination process in the emergency room by designing and making aids to easily fixing the patient's top to the frame of the emergency bed while meeting promptness and non-contact with the patient.

The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of chest compression according to the patient body weight and the rescuer's weight when performing chest compression on a cardiac arrest patient that occurred on a home bed. From January 07 to January 19, 2023, 36 paramedic students from N and S universities who completed the KBLS provider curriculum of the Korea Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Association were measured at the subject's knee position, the depth of the mattress being pressed by the weight of the manikin, and the depth of the mattress being pressed by the weight of the manikin were measured during continuous chest compression for 2 minutes. As a result of the study, if a child's cardiac arrest is found at home, the patient is moved to the floor to proceed with chest compression, and the first witness to find an adult cardiac arrest is recommended to proceed on the bed rather than force the patient under the bed to proceed with chest compression.

본 연구에서는 전신마비 환자들이 안구 마우스를 사용하여 전등, 선풍기, 창문 제어 및 침대 각도 조절을 할 수 있고, 보호자에게 소변통 알림과 응급메시지 알림을 보낼 수 있는 홈 네트워크 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 또한 전신마비 환자들뿐만 아니라 일반 사용자들도 이용할 수 있도록 동일한 기능을 모바일 어플리케이션으로 구현한다. 본 연구의 입력장치인 안구 마우스는 삼성전자 창의개발연구소에서 개발한 eyeCan을 사용하였다. 전체적인 시스템은 Arduino를 사용하여 제어하고, 무선 통신은 Xbee모듈을 사용하여 구현하였다. 기존의 홈 네트워크 시스템은 일반 사용자들만 이용할 수 있지만, 본 연구에서는 루게릭 환자처럼 전신을 움직이지 못하는 환자들에게 최적화된 홈 네트워크 시스템을 구축하여 소외계층의 스마트 기기에 대한 접근성을 높이고, 자립심을 키울 수 있도록 도와준다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Considering the increase in health insurance benefits and the elderly population of the baby boomer generation, the amount consumed by health care in 2020 is expected to account for 20% of US GDP. As the healthcare industry develops, competition among the medical services of hospitals intensifies, and the need of hospitals to manage the quality of medical services increases. In addition, interest in online reviews of hospitals has increased as online reviews have become a tool to predict hospital quality. Consumers tend to refer to online reviews even when choosing healthcare service providers and after evaluating service quality online. This study aims to analyze the effect of sentiment score of healthcare service quality on hospital rating with Yelp hospital reviews. This study classifies large amount of text data collected online primarily into five service quality measurement indexes of SERVQUAL theory. The sentiment scores of reviews are then derived by SERVQUAL dimensions, and an econometric analysis is conducted to determine the sentiment score effects of the five service quality dimensions on hospital reviews. Results shed light on the means of managing online hospital reputation to benefit managers in the healthcare and medical industry.
