U-healthcare, which grafted advanced IT technology onto medical technology, is in the limelight because it can provide medical services at anytime and anywhere. U-healthcare system applied RFID technology for Implantable Medical Device (IMD), but patient's biometric information can be easily exposed to third parties. In this article, RFID-based U-healthcare authentication protocol is proposed to prevent illegal usage for personal biometric information exposed to the third patty. The proposed protocol guarantees patients' biometric information integrity as compounding random numbers between administrators and hospital/clinic managers, and uses continuous number SEQ and time stamp T to synchronize IMD/administrators and administrators/hospital managers. Also, to protect user's privacy from the third party, patients' biometric information can be safely guarded by managing patients' security identifiers by administrators.

IT technology of U-healthcare system is being grafted onto medical services and the use of U-healthcare system are extending steadily. However, in case of patients using Implantable Medical Device (IMD) in U-healthcare system, patients' privacy protection and safe access to system recently has emerged as a major issue. This paper proposes a patients' privacy protection protocol to prevent any illegal accesses from third parties as state value and action value are synchronized after patients' information virtualization. The proposed protocol can limit the access range of patients' information according to authentication information of hospitals, doctors, nurses, and pharmacies registered in the U-healthcare server. Additionally, this protocol can increase management efficiency for patients' privacy by synchronizing state values and action values only for approved information and, by instituting this process, third parties cannot easily access patients' information.

Due to a change of food culture, many patients suffering from various diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, cancer. However, it takes a long time in the hospital for many patients due to the administration before the patient care process. In this paper, we propose a m-Healthcare service model that patients can receive medical services without the inconvenience offers by reducing the administrative hospital treatment that can automatically recognize through the hospital installed RFID readers when the patient patients with various diseases are foreign to the hospital. In particular, the proposed model improves the operational efficiency of the existing healthcare system by shortening the treatment time for medical personnel to help patients in emergency situations can determine automatically the patient's status does not give the disease type and condition of the patient to health care personnel. Test results, service latency, efficiency, etc. patient satisfaction, and evaluate the existing health care system model results, the proposed method was improved service delay existing techniques average 16.5% efficiency was higher 27% of patients service satisfaction was improved by 22.4% on average.
