With the recent trends and the adaptation of further advancement in personal healthcare system leads to develop some application which can work independent and user can operate that application without much interference of physician or any specialist user. To meet these needs, this paper proposes and implements a progressive architecture for the personal healthcare information system. This new architecture will not only play the role of middleware but also provide a analysis tool to process that different sensor data which is collected from different sensors implemented on patient body and environment. After collecting that data, with the help of various developed applications this data can be convert into useful information which will be stored in application server for further use and research. These features can be enabled by simple and effortless interactions of normal users and act autonomously to support their activities. This proposed personal healthcare architecture will also provide analysis report to the doctors and patient or various users for further instructions. The analysis report consists of healthcare data analysis results and history of patients. We are considering healthcare data like ECG, which is an important aspect for basic healthcare need.

By using the U-Healthcare environment, it is possible to receive the health care services anywhere anytime. However, since the user's personal information can be easily exposed in the U-Healthcare environment, it is necessary to strengthen the security system. This thesis proposes the technique which can be used to protect the personal medical records at hospital safely, in order to avoid the exposure of the user's personal information which can occur due to the frequent usage of the electronic chart according to the computerization process of medical records. In the proposed system, the following two strategies are used: i) In order to reduce the amount of the system load, it is necessary to apply the partial encryption process for electronic charts. ii) Regarding the user's authentication process for each patient, the authentication number for each electronic chart, which is in the encrypted form, is transmitted through the patient's mobile device by the National Health Insurance Corporation, when the patient register his or her application at hospital. Regarding the modern health care services, it is important to protect the user's personal information. The proposed technique will be an important method of protecting the user's information.

In the 4th Industrial Revolution, the healthcare industry is undergoing a paradigm shift from post-care and management systems based on diagnosis and treatment to disease prevention and management based on personal precision medicine. To optimize medical services for individual patients, an open ecosystem for the healthcare industry that allows the exchange and utilization of personal health records (PHRs) is required. However, under the current system of hospital-centered data management, it is difficult to implement the linking and sharing of PHRs in practice. To address this problem, in this study, we present the design and implementation of a patient-centered PHR platform using blockchain technology. This platform achieved transparency and reliability in information management by eliminating the risk of leakage and tampering/altering personal information, which could occur when using a PHR. In addition, the patient-consent system was applied to a PHR; thus, the patient acted as the user with ownership. The proposed blockchain-based PHR platform enables the integration of personal medical information with scattered distribution across multiple hospitals, and allows patients to freely use their health records in their daily lives and emergencies. The proposed platform is expected to serve as a stepping stone for patient-centered healthcare data management and utilization.

The growing concern for the protection of personal information has made it critical to implement effective technologies for privacy and data management. By observing the limitations of existing approaches, we found that there is an urgent need for a flexible, privacy-aware system that is able to meet the privacy preservation needs at both the role levels and the personal levels. We proposed a conceptual system that considered these two requirements: a graph-based, access control model to safeguard patient privacy. We present a case study of the healthcare field in this paper. While our model was tested in the field of healthcare, it is generic and can be adapted to use in other fields. The proof-of-concept demos were also provided with the aim of valuating the efficacy of our system. In the end, based on the hospital scenarios, we present the experimental results to demonstrate the performance of our system, and we also compared those results to existing privacy-aware systems. As a result, we ensured a high quality of medical care service by preserving patient privacy.

The u-Healthcare system, a new paradigm, provides healthcare and medical service anytime, anywhere in daily life using wired and wireless networks. It only doesn't reach u-Hospital at home, to manage efficient personal health in fitness space, it is essential to feedback process through measuring and analyzing a personal vital signs. MBAN(Medical Body Area Network) is a core of this technology. MBAN, a new paradigm of the u-Healthcare system, can provide healthcare and medical service anytime, anywhere on real time in daily life using u-sensor networks. In this paper, an ontology-based context-awareness in MBAN proposed system development methodology. Accordingly, ontology-based context awareness system on MBAN to Elderly/severe patients/aged/, with measured respiratory rate/temperature/pulse and vital signs having small variables through u-sensor network in real-time, discovered abnormal signs and emergency situations which may happen to people at sleep or activity, alarmed and connected with members of a family or medical emergency alarm(Emergency Call) and 119 system to avoid sudden accidents for early detection. Therefore, We have proposed that accuracy of biological signal sensing and the confidence of ontology should be inspected.

PHR(Personal Health Record)은 평생건강관리를 지원하기 위해 소비자에게 자신의 진료정보를 언제 어디서나 열람할 수 있고 건강정보를 직접 입력 및 관리할 수 있도록 도와주는 서비스로 정의할 수 있다. 이러한 PHR 서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위해서는 PHR 시스템과 보건의료 관련 정보시스템이 통합 및 연계될 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 현재의 보건의료분야 정보시스템은 늘어나는 보건의료 수요 충족을 위해 다양한 시스템을 구축 운영하고 있으며, 그에 따른 정보화예산은 지속적으로 증가 추세에 있지만, 현재의 시스템은 다양한 시스템 간의 상호 연관성이 있음에도 통합 및 연계가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 한계를 극복하기 위한 대안으로 웹 서비스 기반의 보건의료분야 통합정보시스템을 제안한다. 웹에서 서비스 통합을 추구하는 주요한 수단으로 서비스 지향 구조(Service Oriented Architecture : SOA)를 들 수 있다. 이는 기존에 구축되어 있는 시스템을 크게 변형하지 않으면서도 새로운 요구사항들을 추가할 수 있도록 허용함으로써 빠르게 변화하는 보건의료분야 환경에 최대한 신속히 적응 할 수 있도록 하는 매우 중요한 모델이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PHR 서비스를 위한 플랫폼으로써 SOA를 기반으로 하는 보건의료분야 통합정보시스템을 설계하고 이를 구현함으로써, 웹 서비스 기반이 PHR 서비스를 위한 새로운 통합정보시스템 구축의 적합한 모델임을 입증한다.

We propose to design a Holochain-based security and privacy protection system for resource-constrained IoT healthcare systems. Through analysis and performance evaluation, the proposed system confirmed that these characteristics operate effectively in the IoT healthcare environment. The system proposed in this paper consists of four main layers aimed at secure collection, transmission, storage, and processing of important medical data in IoT healthcare environments. The first PERCEPTION layer consists of various IoT devices, such as wearable devices, sensors, and other medical devices. These devices collect patient health data and pass it on to the network layer. The second network connectivity layer assigns an IP address to the collected data and ensures that the data is transmitted reliably over the network. Transmission takes place via standardized protocols, which ensures data reliability and availability. The third distributed cloud layer is a distributed data storage based on Holochain that stores important medical information collected from resource-limited IoT devices. This layer manages data integrity and access control, and allows users to share data securely. Finally, the fourth application layer provides useful information and services to end users, patients and healthcare professionals. The structuring and presentation of data and interaction between applications are managed at this layer. This structure aims to provide security, privacy, and resource efficiency suitable for IoT healthcare systems, in contrast to traditional centralized or blockchain-based systems. We design and propose a Holochain-based security and privacy protection system through a better IoT healthcare system.
