The main obstacles for adopting a mobile health information system to existing hospital information system are the redundancy of clinical data and the additional workload for implementing the new system. To obtain a seamless communication and to reduce the workload of implementation, an easy and simple implementation strategy is required. We propose a mobile clinical information system (MobileMed) which is specially designed for the easy implementation. The key elements of MobileMed are a smart interface, an HL7 message server, a central clinical database (CCDB), and a web server. The smart interface module transfers the key information to the HL7 message server as new clinical tests data is recorded in the existing laboratory information system. The HL7 message server generates the HL7 messages and sends them to the CCDS. As a central database the CCDS collects the HL7 messages and presents them to the various mobile devices such as PDA. Through this study we might conclude that the architecture for the mobile system will be efficient for real-time data communication, and the specially designed interface will be an easy tool for implementing the mobile clinical information system.

Medical Gateway(MG), that integrates medical devices with its unique data format in various hospital information systems, provides effectiveness in the cost of the management unlike existing systems that uses PC as a gateway to hospital information systems because MG enables to interface medical devices with itself. However, in spite of using MG for integrating medical devices, we need additional programs or systems to interwork with EMR system of each hospital in accordance with the configuration of DB. In this paper, we design and implement the format of medical information and server system for interworking MG with EMR system. The proposed system makes easy exchanging medical data between MG and EMR system. Thus, the proposed system can contribute to a national project to export abroad advanced hospital setup converged with IT.

Purpose: To develop new on-line statistical program for the Korean Society for Radiation Oncology (KOSRO) to collect and extract medical data in radiation oncology more efficiently. Materials and Methods: The statistical program is a web-based program. The directory was placed in a sub-folder of the homepage of KOSRO and its web address is http://www.kosro.or.kr/asda. The operating systems server is Linux and the webserver is the Apache HTTP server. For database (DB) server, MySQL is adopted and dedicated scripting language is the PHP. Each ID and password are controlled independently and all screen pages for data input or analysis are made to be friendly to users. Scroll-down menu is actively used for the convenience of user and the consistence of data analysis. Results: Year of data is one of top categories and main topics include human resource, equipment, clinical statistics, specialized treatment and research achievement. Each topic or category has several subcategorized topics. Real-time on-line report of analysis is produced immediately after entering each data and the administrator is able to monitor status of data input of each hospital. Backup of data as spread sheets can be accessed by the administrator and be used for academic works by any members of the KOSRO. Conclusion: The new on-line statistical program was developed to collect data from nationwide departments of radiation oncology. Intuitive screen and consistent input structure are expected to promote entering data of member hospitals and annual statistics should be a cornerstone of advance in radiation oncology.

Among U-healthcare services adapting the latest IT technique and medical technique, a body-injecting device technique providing medical service to a patient who has incurable disease. But the body-injecting device technique can be easily exposed during wireless section to the third person and it can be used illegally. This paper proposes certification protocol which certifies a patient and hospital staff using random number created by certification server and a patient with hospital staff by synchronization. Specially, the proposed protocol uses security information created by information registered in certification server previously by a patient and hospital staff so that in keeps from accessing of third person who didn't get approval. And it gives more stability.

In this paper, we explain a volume rendering system for client-server environment. A single GPU-equipped PC works as a server which is based on the ideas that only a few concurrent users use a volume rendering system in a small hospital. As the clients, we used Android mobile devices such as smart phones. User events are transformed to rendering requests by the client application. When the server receives a rendering request, it renders the volume using the GPU. The rendered image is compressed to JPEG or PNG format so that we can save network bandwidth and reduce transfer time. In addition, we perform an event pruning method while a user is dragging the touch to enhance latency. The server compensates the pruning by interpolating the touch positions. As the result, real-time volume rendering is possible for 5 concurrent users on single GPU-equipped commodity hardware.

UMSN (Ubiquitous Medical Sensor Network) is being used in u-Healthcare system of various medical facilities to identify objects and get information from sensors in real-time. RFID using radio frequency determines objects using Reader, which reads Tags attached to patients. However, there is a security vulnerability wherein Tag send its ID to illegal Reader because Tags always response to Readers request regarding of its Tag ID. In this paper, we propose Tag ID Classification Scheme to reduce Back-end Server traffic that caused by requests to authenticate between Readers and Tags that are attached to medical devices, patients, and sensors; To reduce security threats like eavesdropping and spoofing that sometimes occurred during authentication procedure. The proposed scheme specifies the patient category as a group based on patients Tag ID string. Only allowed Reader can perform authentication procedure with Back-end Server. As a result, we can reduce Back-end Server traffic and security threats.

Recently, microcomputer technology has been developed rapidly and it provides not only graphic user interface that can be fraendly accessable but also large storage capacity to han- dle much hospital information. Almost all the order communication system for hospital has been developed under the concept of host and terminal environment since last 20 years. However, host-terminal system has not been successful in korea simply because most of physicians prescibe for rrlany patients a day(sometimes more than 150 patients a day). Also, under the host-terminal environment, programs are not friendly implemented for users. Since March 1991, we had developed order communication system for out-patients(named YONSEI-PC) using personal computer(PC) and local area network(LAN) . Since September 1992, we has applied succesfully in the Yonsei Cardiovascular Center, Sevrance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine. This system consisted with Server and Clients which is communicated through LAN(Ethernet). The system also use the Host computer(IBM 9221 170) as a data bank and communicates to the Server with emulation card(3270 emulator, Interlink Inc., Korea) . After introducing this system, it enables patients to receive drugs witllin 20 minutes after prescription of 300-400 patients per day and it seemed to be effective system not to reduce waiting time for the patients but also to remove charge-troubling(due to His-entry of prescription) . This system also seems to be effective in terms of office automatism for hospital management. However users, usually physitions, required more friendly and easy system to operate and we thought that the most important one to successfully introduce order communication computer system in the hospital is user interface.

Many intelligent agent systems are known to incorporate BDI architecture for cognitive reasoning. Since this architecture contains all the knowledge of world model and reasoning rule, it is very complex and difficult to handle. This paper describes a methodology to design and implement BDI architecture, BDIAXml based on XML for multi-agent systems. This XML-based BDI architecture is smaller than any other BDI architecture because it separates knowledge for reasoning from domain knowledge and enables knowledge sharing using XML technology. Knowledge for BDI mental state and reasoning is composed of specific XML files and these XML files are stored into a specific knowledge server. Most systems using BDIAxml architecture can access knowledge from this server. We apply this BDIAXml system to domain of Hospital Information System and show that this architecture performs more efficiently than other BDI architecture system in terms of knowledge sharing, system size, and ease of use.

Electrocardiograph(ECC), one of the major vital signals, is widely used in the hospitals to check a heart disease patient. In tole-medicine information system, If the ECC signal could be acquired at the patient's home and sent to the physician via telecommunication line, the number of visit to the hospital and medical expenses can be reduced dramatically. The tole-medicine information system proposed by this paper is designed to acquire patient's ECC signal by portable ECC terminal at his or her home and to send it to the hospital server via internet. For the mobility of physicians, the patient's real-time data ran be viewed at any internet connected computer as well as server connected terminal.
