Objectives: This paper describes an experience of implementing seamless service trials online and offline by adopting Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on near-field communication (NFC) tags and Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons. The services were provided for both patients and health professionals. Methods: The pilot services were implemented to enhance healthcare service quality, improve patient safety, and provide an effective business process to health professionals in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. The services to enhance healthcare service quality include healing tours, cancer information/education, psychological assessments, indoor navigation, and exercise volume checking. The services to improve patient safety are monitoring of high-risk inpatients and delivery of real-time health information in emergency situations. In addition, the services to provide an effective business process to health professionals include surveys and web services for patient management. Results: Considering the sustainability of the pilot services, we decided to pause navigation and patient monitoring services until the interference problem could be completely resolved because beacon signal interference significantly influences the quality of services. On the other hand, we had to continue to provide new wearable beacons to high-risk patients because of hygiene issues, so the cost increased over time and was much higher than expected. Conclusions: To make the smart connected hospital services sustainable, technical feasibility (e.g., beacon signal interference), economic feasibility (e.g., continuous provision of new necklace beacons), and organizational commitment and support (e.g., renewal of new alternative medical devices and infrastructure) are required.

고혈압은 전 세계의 심혈관 및 뇌혈관 질환의 중요한 사망 원인으로서 지속적인 혈압관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 급성장하고 있는 모바일 헬스케어 환경에서 지속적으로 혈압 관리를 받을 수 있는 생체정보 교환 서비스 모델로서 HL7 FHIR을 선택하였다. 개발한 HL7 FHIR 프레임워크는 매니저(스마트폰)과 에이전트(혈압계) 간에 블루투스 헬스기기 프로파일과 통하여 IEEE 11073-10407 PHD 프로토콜로 통신하여 혈압정보를 획득한다. 테스트 결과 고혈압 환자의 혈압 모니터링, 측정기록관리, 문서 생성, 측정정보전송을 성공적으로 수행하였다. 실제 임상환경에서는 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 통해 측정정보를 전송할 수 있으므로 모바일 헬스케어에서 지속적인 연구와 활성화가 기대된다.

The recent technological developments of smart devices, multiple services are provided to enhance the users' quality of life including smart city, smart energy, smart car, smart healthcare, smart home, and so on. Academia and industries try to provide the users with convenient services upon seamless technological research and developments. Also, whenever and wherever a variety of services can be used without any limitation on the place and time upon connecting with different types of devices. However, security weaknesses due to integrations of multiple technological elements have been detected resulting in the leakage of user information, account hacking, and privacy leakage, threats to people's lives by device operation have been raised. In this paper, safer communication framework is suggested by device control and user authentication in the mobile network environment. After implementations of registration and authentication processes by users and devices, safe communication protocol is designed based on this. Also, renewal process is designed according to the safe control of the device. In the performance evaluation, safety was analyzed on the attack of protocol change weakness occurred in the existing system, service halt, data leakage, illegal operation control of message, and so on, which confirmed the enhanced speed approximately by 8% and 23% in the communication and verification parts, respectively, compared to the existing system.

In this study, the new color image processing algorithms with an android-based mobile device are developed to detect the abnormal color densities in a skin image and interpret them as the vitiligo lesions. Our proposed method is firstly based on transforming RGB data into HSI domain and segmenting the imag into the vitiligo-skin candidates by applying Otsu's threshold algorithm. The structure elements for morphological image processing are suggested to delete the spurious regions in vitiligo regions and the image blob labeling algorithm is applied to compare RGB color densities of the abnormal skin region with them of a region of interest. Our suggested color image processing algorithms are implemented with an android-platform smartphone and thus a mobile device can be utilized to diagnose or monitor the patient's skin conditions under the environments of pervasive healthcare services.

Recent improvements on the quality, fidelity and availability of biometric data have led to effective human physical activity detection (HPAD) in real time which adds significant value to applications such as human behavior identification, healthcare monitoring, and user authentication. Current approaches usually use machine-learning techniques for human physical activity recognition based on the data collected from wearable accelerometer sensor from a single wearable smart device on the user. However, collecting data from a single wearable smart device may not provide the complete user activity data as it is usually attached to only single part of the user's body. In addition, in case of the absence of the single sensor, then no data can be collected. Hence, in this paper, a continuous HPAD will be presented to effectively perform user activity detection with mobile service infrastructure using multiple wearable smart devices, namely smartphone and smartwatch placed in various locations on user's body for more accurate HPAD. A case study on a comprehensive dataset of classified human physical activities with our HAPD approach shows substantial improvement in HPAD accuracy.
