In this paper, we implemented the intelligent healthcare system self-diagnosis that can achieve self-diagnosis by measured bio-signal(blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat monitor) after the recognize a user to access using RFID. The implemented healthcare self-diagnosis intelligent system is consist of kiosk structure that is RFID reader, bio-signal measuring instrument(hemadynamometer, glucometer, body fat monitor), computer for a part of database server and printer for print the result of self-diagnosis. It can achieve self-diagnosis of a user after compare and analyze the measured data and information of a user from database. The implemented system can make simple self-diagnosis even if not take a physical examination at hospital and apply to company, school, etc.

The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the blood glucose test with almost painless vacuum assisted auto-lancing technique. The blood glucose concentration measurements in the capillary blood sampled from the alternative (forearm) site were compared with the standard venous or finger sampling techniques. Capillary blood was sampled from both the left index finger and the forearm, followed by the venous blood sampling in 531 patients who visited the C University Hospital. Blood sugar test was performed for each blood samples for comparative analysis. Mean blood glucose concentration measured on the forearm was closer to the venous glucose level than that of the finger, but the difference was approximately 10 mg/dL small enough to ignore from the clinical point of view. The correlation coefficients of the measured blood glucose levels between finger and vein and between forearm and vein were 0.94 and 0.92, respectively (p<0.001). The blood glucose measurement on the forearm also well correlated with the finger, showing a correlation coefficient of 0.94, and both data were very much close to each other. Therefore, the blood sugar test on the alternative capillary blood sampling site such as forearm was accurate enough for clinical practice. The vacuum assisted auto-lancing technique on the alternative site would be of particular interest for the disease management of the chronic diabetes, since it induces almost no pain when sampling blood from the capillaries.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe and understand self-care status of the aged diabetic patients with noncompliance after hospital discharge. Methods: A qualitative research method was used for the study design. The participants were 15 diabetic patients aged 65 or older who had been admitted more than two times for hyperglycemia in the past 1 year in a general hospital in Daegu. Data were collected from November 1 2015 to March 1 2016 through in-depth personal interview. Results: Patients' knowledge level on causes and symptoms of diabetes was low. Most participants rarely and irregularly checked blood sugar at home. They were under a lot of stress from their family. Due to old age and illness they did not have sufficient physical activity and they have had rarely regular meals. They considered the self-care education program unnecessary and there was limitations of accessibility for education. Conclusions: The aged diabetic patients who had the repeat admission did not perform self-care activities properly and had problems especially in blood glucose check, support from their family, and health education after returning home. More personalized and community-based self-management education programs will be necessary.

In modern society, awareness of diabetes is growing with an increase in the elderly population and an increase in the incidence of diabetes. In particular, diabetic patients can suddenly develop hypoglycemic shock; therefore, it is important to measure blood glucose periodically. However, self-monitoring blood glucose meters are difficult to carry and it is difficult to manage the value. To solve these problems, the blood glucose measurement system has been developed as a sensor attached to the body or as one of the functions of smart devices, but it has not been commercialized. In this paper, we propose a smart band with a blood glucose measurement function. If a user enters a schedule to measure blood glucose level, such as before/after meals, in the app, he/she can receive a measurement alarm from the band. The user can measure the blood glucose level at any time using the band, and the measured value is transmitted and managed by the app including behavior history such as before/after meals and the time. This will help the user to manage, diagnose and prevent health problems. The system has been tested using two medical device-certified products, and each blood glucose measurement value has been confirmed to be more accurate.

Polyacrylonitrile diagnostic membranes were prepared to make blood-glucose self-checking system for diabetics. After the prepared polyacrylonitrile membranes were stored at sereval different environments, final absorbances at 680 nm were measured at various concentration in blood. The mesured blood-glucose level did not show the big differences at the various storage temperatures. It was found that the blood-glucose level decreased a little bit compared to the standard value after $10{\sim}30$ hours at high humidities.

인슐린을 주사 맞지 않고 먹는 약으로 대신하고, 손가락을 찌르는 아픔 없이 혈당을 측정 할 수 있다면 당뇨관리가 한결 수월해질 것이다. 당뇨병은 관리가 곧 치료이지만 이러한 여러 어려움 탓에 관리가 쉽지 않은 것이 현실이다. 당뇨병은 한 번 걸리면 평생 관리가 필요한 질환이기 때문에 무엇보다 자가관리가 중요하다.
