Telehealth is widely tested in the U.S.A and other developed countries. This system is expected to solve rural health problems reducing professional isolation. Some demonstration projects showed that the system can provide quality care in reasonable prices to rural residents. However, few study has been done on whether telehealth system can attract physicians by reducing professional isolation. The system is not available to most of the rural hospitals because the price for the equipment and telephone charges are not low enough. It is promising that the system cost and telephone charges are decreasing gradually. As time passes, rural hospitals will be more viable for the system. Satisfaction of the physicians and patients is a key factor for the implementation of the system. The physicians need to understand more about telecommunication and computer systems. After physicians are well-versed about the system, we can expect wide use of telehealth in rural areas. Effort for the confidentiality and standardization should be devoted to assure patient's privacy and compatibility of patient records and exam results. In Korea, two projects are being operated in Uljin and Kurye. A study evaluated the economic efficiency of the projects suggesting that increase of the number of patients up to three times of current number or decrease in hardware costs and telecommunication charges into two thirds of the current costs. The hardware and telecommunication charges are decreasing. Another area telehealth system can be applied is psychiatric accommodation facilities. Establishment of telehealth in the psychiatric facilities will increase the access of psychiatric care for patients and is expected to be economically efficient.

IT 기술의 발달에 힘입어 환자들의 위치에 상관없이 편리하게 진료가 가능한 유비쿼터스 헬스케어시스템이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 사용자의 수가 급증하고 다른 병원의 의사나 연구원 또는 환자의 가족들에게 의료 정보를 공개하도록 의료법이 개정되면서 사용자 관리와 프라이버시 침해라는 문제가 발생하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 역할 기반 접근제어 모델에 기반한 사용자 접근 모델은 제안한다. RBAC 모델은 효율적인 사용자 관리 및 접근 제어를 제공하지만, 악의를 가진 사용자가 권한이 있는 역할을 가지고 정보를 유출하고자 할 경우 막을 방법이 없다. 이러한 RBAC의 취약점을 보완하기 위하여 "working status" 파라미터를 역할 속성과 연동하는 RBAC-WS 모델을 제안하였다. 역할에 working 속성을 연동함으로써 허가를 받은 사용자라 하더라도 업무 외 접근을 원천적으로 봉쇄함으로서 내부자에 의한 정보유출 문제를 해결하였다. 또한 RBAC을 위한 함수를 개발하여 도메인이 서로 다른 헬스케어 시스템에서도 유용하게 사용될 수 있도록 하였으며, RBAC-WS 모델의 기능 분석을 위하여 Healthcare 시스템 중 널리 사용되는 PACS에 적용하였다.

Accidents or disease can lead to acquired voice dysphonia. In this case, we propose a new input interface based on eye movements to facilitate communication for patients. Unlike the existing method that presents the English alphabet as it is, we reorganized the layout of the alphabet to support the Korean alphabet and designed it so that patients can enter words by themselves using only eye movements, gaze, and blinking. The proposed interface not only reduces fatigue by minimizing eye movements, but also allows for easy and quick input through an intuitive arrangement. For natural communication, we also implemented a system that allows patients who are unable to speak to communicate with their own voice. The system works by tracking eye movements to record what the patient is trying to say, then using Glow-TTS and Multi-band MelGAN to reconstruct their own voice using the learned voice to output sound.

A wrist watch type wearable cardiovascular monitoring device is proposed for continuous and convenient monitoring of the patient's cardiovascular system. For comprehensive monitoring of the patient's cardiovascular system, the concurrent electrocardiogram (ECG) and arterial pulse wave (APW) sensor front-end are fabricated in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The ECG sensor frontend achieves 84.6-dB CMRR and $2.3-{\mu}Vrms$-input referred noise with $30-{\mu}W$ power consumption. The APW sensor front-end achieves $3.2-V/{\Omega}$ sensitivity with accurate bio-impedance measurement lesser than 1% error, consuming only $984-{\mu}W$. The ECG and APW sensor front-end is combined with power management unit, micro controller unit (MCU), display and Bluetooth transceiver so that concurrently measured ECG and APW can be transmitted into smartphone, showing patient's cardiovascular state in real time. In order to verify operation of the cardiovascular monitoring system, cardiovascular indicator is extracted from the healthy volunteer. As a result, 5.74 m/second-pulse wave velocity (PWV), 79.1 beats/minute-heart rate (HR) and positive slope of b-d peak-accelerated arterial pulse wave (AAPW) are achieved, showing the volunteer's healthy cardiovascular state.
