In this paper, we proposed a multi-agent based healthcare system (MAHS) which is the combination of medical sensor module and wireless communication technology. This MAHS provides wide services to mobile telemedicine, patient monitoring, emergency management, doctor's diagnosis and prescription, patients and doctors, information exchange between hospital workers in a long distance. Also, MAHS is connected to Body Area Network (BAN) and a doctor and hospital workers. In addition, we designed and implemented extended JADE based MAHS that reduces hospital server's burden. Agents gather, integrate, and deliver the collected patient's information from sensor, and provide presentation in healthcare environment. Proposed MAHS has advantage that can handle urgent situation in the far away area from hospital like Islands through PDA and mobile device. In addition, by monitoring condition of patient (old man) in a real time base, it shortens time and expense and supports medical service efficiently.

In the mobile healthcare system, a very important vital sign in analyzing the status of user health is the HRV (heart rate variability). The used signals for measuring the HRV are electrocardiograph and PPG (photoplethysmograph). In extracting the HRV from the PPG signal, an important issue is that extract the exactly HRV from PPG signal distorted from the user's movements. This study suggested a design method of the Kalman filter to solve the problem, and evaluated the performances of a proposed method by PPG signals containing motion artifacts. In the results of experiments that compared with a variable step size adaptive filter proposed in recently, the proposed method showed better performance than an adaptive filter.

This paper proposes a method of position estimating through compensating the autonomous mobile robot's noise. Proposed method is that estimated position error by modified Kalman filter method using neural network. We use a neural network for measurement noise covariance and system noise covariance. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments for position estimation. The results show that convergence and position error is reduced than the Kalman filter method.

현재 핸드폰과 PDA(Personal Digital Assitants) 등과 같은 모바일PC에서는 작은 화면과 처리속도 및 전송속도등을 이용한 WAP을 통해 인터넷 서비스를 제공하고자 하는 많은 연구가 진행되고 있고 일부는 실용화되고 있다. 그러나 빠른 전송속도를 자랑하는 제 3세대 이동통신인 IMT-2000이 시장에 나왔음에도 불구하고 산업 기반에 기여할 만한 어플리케이션이 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 이에 반에 휴대용 정보 단말기인 PDA는 CIS, 전화번호부 등과 같이 스케일이 큰 프로그램이 사용되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PDA와 핸드폰 등 다양한 모바일 환경에서 신속하고 효율적으로 실시간에 환자검색 및 처방을 할 수 있는 원격진료시스템을 제안하고 구현한다.

In this paper, a mobile robot is designed for the blind guidance. This system is composed of an Ultrasonic Ranging Vnit, PWM Vnit, Optical Encoder Vnit. Specilly we adapted Distance Comparison Measurement Method (DCMM) in order to compensate for the error resulted from atmospheric conditions, and PWM unit for the vehicle control and Optical encoder unit for the correct locomotion control. This system is processed, using MCS-85 microcomputer, much of information on surrounding conduitions in real time. We rotated ultrasonic sensor for many sifted data acquisition and used tone generator for the Man-Machine Communication. As a result, the measurement error of the distance is about 1cm, the distance measurement could be detected 0.2m to 6m. The locomotion speed is 0.4m/sec and we examined its practical use.

When the disabled is operating a rehabilitation assisting system with a joystick by himself, unlike in the case of a normal person, tremor with joystick control or instant miscontrol can often occur. If these misoperations should be directly relayed to the system, shaking or malfunction of the mobile rehabilitation assisting system might be the result. The safety of the disabled is of prime concern. To solve this problem, that is, to prevent the miscontrol of the disabled operator and avoid crashes into his or her surroundings, we propose the force-reflection locomotion algorithm with the joystick. This method uses ultrasonic sensors to measure the distance between the object and mobile robot. Based on the reception of sensory data, the necessary torque is applied via the joystick to the attatched motor. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, the subjects on the reflected force by the dynamic characteristics of the joystick and the reflected force by the distance information are tested Even though there are some differences in human dexterity, we confirmed the fact that the information from the obstacles was relayed to the operator via the joystick and resulted in an improved operational performance and safety level with regard to those obstacles.

RFID is estimated to have great potential for hospitals to reduce various costs, reconsider patients' safety, and provide high quality medical service. As the ubiquitous technology allows the medical market to expand, medical centers all around the country are fiercely competing against one another. In order to increase the hospital's competitive edge by reducing IT expenses and concentrating on medical practice, the need to establish a u-Hospital using advanced IT technology is rapidly rising. This paper implements an RFID based u-Hospital system by using ubiquitous computing technology to design a location tracking device for all surgical patients, which can secure the patients' safety and increase the quality of medical service through interlocking hospital information systems.

Aging our country is facing now is seeking qualitative and quantitative expansion of social welfare services. In particular, the rapid increase in the aging population is an urgent need to resolve the problems of inducing demand for medical care and various welfare related to the elderly, In addition, IT technology in Korea is improving daily, in particular, fields of ubiquitous have been studied actively. In this paper, U-Health Care System model technology for the elderly were studied. Existing residential and senior living environment dedicated to the Care system for the fusion of design, and content designed around the ubiquitous technology that combines the old Care system was studied. Existing community-based model that combines technology and IT systems and mobile elderly Care services in conjunction with other devices by providing an application, the existing Care and medical needs will be able to solve the problems.

With recent development in information technology, IT convergence has been achieved ubiquitously in all areas of industry. In particular, there have been a lot of changes in medical IT conversion sector in terms of user service. In this regard, this paper attempts to propose an environment in which the existing paper prescription can be transferred in the form of QR codes using mobile handsets as one of practices from the perspective of user service. QR codes can minimize the burden resulting from the process of the output, delivery and storage of paper prescriptions. In addition, they can utilize the representation of the information in a wide variety of ways, and they are considered to be media that can minimize the risk of personal information exposure and falsification due to the restoration and encryption of the information. Accordingly, the application of QR codes to the medical field is expected to improve confidentiality ad storage capability of the information, along with users' convenience.

The existing patient monitoring system when the patient want own information. The patient confirm information through the medical institution. But the patient monitoring system based on the U-Healthcare, the patient always confirms own information through the mobile device including rfid reader. The patient need RFID middleware design to provide wanting service when the RFID reader read patient's tag information. The RFID middleware is consisted of RFID module, ARM processor and RS-232 interface. The RFID module is used to be inputted user information and RS-232 interface pass information by RFID middleware. Also, This system is embodied by specific patient monitoring system using embedded exclusive use ARM processor. In this paper introduces concept and action principle of RFID middleware and embodied patient monitoring system that use Qt.
