This study was aimed to understand the recognition of care robots which would enhance the medical quality of life under the 4^th industrial revolution in the university students majoring in health and engineering who would lead the development of the future medical industry and to find out the differences of their digital literacy and empathic ability. This was a descriptive correlation study to analyze the recognition of university students on care robots, their digital literacy and empathic ability. Both students majoring in health and engineering recognized the needs of care robots, while their education experiences were not sufficient. Moreover, statistically fewer university students majoring in health heard about care robots than those in engineering, and their need of taking classes was lower, too. No statistically significant differences were found in digital literacy and empathic ability between the two majors, while significant difference was found in the relationship bundling capability out of behavioral empathy, a sub-domain of empathic ability. The study results are anticipated to suggest the future educational direction in the medical field according to the 4^th industrial revolution and to be the fundamental data for understanding and preparation of the students depending on the majors.

고령사회에 대응하기 위한 휴먼케어 서비스 로봇은 다양한 동적 환경에서 사용자에게 최적의 서비스를 제공하기 위해 서비스 선택 엔진을 요구한다. 서비스 선택 엔진은 로봇이 수집한 각종 원시 데이터를 활용하여 계층적으로 상위 수준의 정보로 가공하고 최종 단계에서는 휴먼케어 전문가가 설계한 규칙에 의해 사용자에게 제공할 서비스를 선택한다. 본 논문에서는 휴먼케어 서비스 로봇을 위해 기계학습 기반의 지식 생성과 규칙 기반의 지식 생성을 함께 활용하여 하이브리드 형태로 계층적 지식을 생성하고, 생성된 지식을 바탕으로 서비스를 선택하는 메커니즘을 제공할 수 있는 서비스를 선택 엔진 내용을 설명한다.

Along with the recent increase in national income, social phenomena such as aging due to a decrease in population and an increase in single households are observed. There are also an increasing number of households raising pets in proportion to aging households and the increase in the number of single households, most of which use animal companions to overcome loneliness and boost domestic vitality. As more and more people consider pets as family members, the size of the domestic pet market is also growing. The growing number of pets in older households and single households is not properly managed by care such as food meals and exercise management for pets. It is necessary to research and develop robots that can monitor animal companions remotely, feed a certain amount of food at regular intervals, and manage their health through exercise. Among pet companions, dog selection is the highest. Therefore, this study identified robot research on driving methods, examples of existing pet care systems, and researched pet care robots using obstacle avoidance algorithms. In order to use the snack pay behavior and obstacle avoidance algorithm of the pet animals by applying IoT and we .oPI technology, it is able to use ultrasonic sensors on the front and has four infrared sensors on the back. However, this study does not reflect the characteristics of other pet animals as a study on pet care robots, and it requires continuous observation and testing.

The purposes of this study were to examine the effects of carebidet robot during defecation on incontinence associated dermatitis, pressure ulcer risk and biological markers in critical care patients. Data were analyzed using t-test, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U-test and Repeated measures ANOVA. There was a significant difference in incontinence associated dermatitis, pressure ulcer risk, and improving biological markers between the two groups, and there were significant changes over time and the group by time interactions. The findings of the study demonstrated that carebidet robot during defecation was more effective than the current usual care in reducing incontinence associated dermatitis, pressure ulcer risk, and improving biological markers in critical care patients.

Currently, ICT is widely used in caring for the elderly living alone and preventing the disappearance of the elderly with dementia. Therefore, in this study, based on the government policy direction for the 4th industrial revolution, the use of AI technology-based care services, which are gradually increasing in community care, was sought to explore the current status and prospects for utilization and activation.AI speakers and caring robots, services that can be used for community care, help solve various problems experienced by the elderly, and are also used to relieve lack of conversation or loneliness by adding emotional functions. In order to activate community care using AI technology in the future: First, there is a need for continuous education to familiarize the elderly with AI devices and 'user experience (UX) design' for the elderly. Second, it is necessary to use human-centered technology that has a complementary relationship and enables emotional mutual relationships rather than using function-oriented technology. Third, it is necessary to solve ethical problems such as guaranteeing the user's right to self-determination and protecting privacy.

The changes in the medical and healthcare are started from the digital technology. The new field of digital healthcare has started fused with existing healthcare, medical technology, and digital technology. It can increase the service effect and reduce healthcare costs by applying ICT skills such as ICBM(Internet of Things, Cloud, Big data and Mobile), artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual, augmented reality, and wearable devices to healthcare services including healthcare, disease management. Recently there has been grafted an artificial intelligence technologies such as AlphaGo of Google and Watson of IBM onto the healthcare area. In this study, we analyze the main technology, ecosystem, platforms for digital healthcare, and lastly future changes in health care services and issues of digital healthcare.
