  • ECG analysis is main techniques for diagnosing heart disease. In recent, some studies have been performed about detection of QT interval. But, it's difficult to detect QT interval because T wave is evasive. In this paper, we have detected peak point and end point of T wave and calculated QT interval. And the result has been compared with the other algorithm after detection of QT interval.

  • With the recent COVID-19 situation, countries are seriously feeling the need for medical personnel and their technologies. PDepending on the aging society, the number of medical staff is actually decreasing, and in order to solve this problem, research is needed to replace the part that does not require high expertise among actual medical practices performed by doctors. This paper describes and proposes actual research methods related to unmanned medical systems that use various deep learning image processing-based technologies to check the recovery status applicable to rehabilitation areas where medical staff should face patients directly. The proposed method replaces passive calculations such as a protractor or a method of drawing a line in a photograph, which is the method used for actual motion comparison. Since it is performed in real time, it helps to diagnose quickly, and it is easy for medical staff to provide necessary information because data on the degree of match of motion performance can be checked.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide basic data to ensure the safety and essential performance of a Lower Extremity robotic assisted gait training system and to provide advanced technology and technical basis to the industry handling the system. Based on IEC 60601-1:2012/AMD2:2020 (Medical Electrical Equipment - General requirements for basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment), IEC 62366-1:2015/AMD1:2020 (Medical devices - Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices) and EN ISO 14971:2019 (Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices), the requirements for ensuring the safety and essential performance of the Lower Extremity robotic assisted gait training system were derived. Through the Delphi survey method and scenario analysis, which reflects the opinions and knowledge of experts in the fields of development, testing and review of technical documents, and quality assurance of medical devices, validity and reliability were conducted and obtained results with adequate content validity ratio (CVR; 0.7≤) and excellent reliability (Cronbach's α; 0.9≤). As a result, it was confirmed that the reliability and validity of the risk management process to ensure the safety and essential performance of the Lower Extremity robotic assisted gait training system are required a model can be established to provide measures to reduce risks according to the level of risk exposure caused by usage.

  • The Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences has started a radiation epidemiological study, titled "Korean Radiation Worker Study," to evaluate the health effects of occupational exposure to radiation. As a part of this study, we investigated the methodologies and results of reconstructing organ-specific absorbed doses based on personal dose equivalent, Hp(10), reported from 1984 to 2019 for 20,605 Korean radiation workers. For the organ dose reconstruction, representative exposure scenarios (i.e., radiation energy and exposure geometry) were first determined according to occupational groups, and dose coefficients for converting Hp(10) to organ absorbed doses were then appropriately taken based on the exposure scenarios. Individual annual doses and individual cumulative doses were reconstructed for 27 organs, and the highest values were observed in the thyroid doses (on average 0.77 mGy/y and 10.47 mGy, respectively). Mean values of individual cumulative absorbed doses for the red bone marrow, colon, and lungs were 7.83, 8.78, and 8.43 mSv, respectively. Most of the organ doses were maximum for industrial radiographers, followed by nuclear power plant workers, medical workers, and other facility workers. The organ dose database established in this study will be utilized for organ-specific risk estimation in the Korean Radiation Worker Study.

  • U-healthcare system supports healthcare service of prevention, diagnosis, medical treatment and currently various medical service systems. Therefore, utilization of medical information thru hospitals, medical agencies is unevitable in this society. However, the standard draft of HL7 which is a standard of medical information does not support specification of medical information being used currently. Thus, in this paper, we study standard HL7 message system to analyze and adjust the medical information and it will help to utilize efficient medical information and the method is verified to be sufficiently effective.

  • Recently, with the development of IoT, AI, and mobile terminals, medical information platforms are expanding. The medical information platform can determine a patient's emergency situation, and medical staff can easily access patient information through a mobile terminal. However, in the existing platform, emergency situation decision is delayed, and faster and stronger authentication is required in emergency situations. Therefore, we propose an edge computing-based medical information platform for automatic authentication using patient situations. We design an edge computing-based medical information platform architecture capable of rapid transmission of biometric data of IoT and quick emergency situation decision, and implement the platform data flow in emergency situations. Relying on this platform, we propose the automatic authentication using patient situations. The automatic authentication protects patient information through patient-centered authentication by using the patient's situation as an authentication factor, and enables quick authentication by automatically proceeding with mobile terminal authentication after user authentication in emergencies without user intervention. We compared the proposed platform with existing platforms to show that it can make quick and stable emergency decisions. In addition, comparing the automatic authentication with existing authentication showed that it is fast and protects medical information centered on patient situations in emergency situations.
