  • The main purpose of the article is to determine the role of the digitalization phenomenon (its positive and negative sides) as a means of anti-corruption policy in the healthcare sector of Ukraine and provide practical recommendations for transforming the domestic healthcare sector based on digitalization through the implementation of organizational and legal measures. The definitions of such concepts as: corruption in the healthcare sector; digitalization; digitalization of the healthcare sector; e-medicine. A typology of reasons for promoting the development of corruption in the healthcare sector of modern Ukraine is given. As a result of the study, a number of scientific tasks were implemented. The negative side of the introduction of digitalization in the healthcare sector has been identified and illustrated. The types of e-services in the healthcare sector are systematized, each of them is characterized and the fundamental directions of their development are indicated. The existing problems of technostress are characterized (techno-overload; techno-invasion; techno-complexity; techno-insecurity; techno-uncertainty). In the context of considering digitalization as a means of anti-corruption policy in the healthcare sector, practical organizational and legal measures are proposed for implementation.

  • Climate change is a global emergency. Consequently, current global targets to combat the climate crisis include reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and keeping global temperature increases below 1.5 ℃. In 2014, the healthcare carbon footprint was 5.5% of the total national footprint. Gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) has a large carbon footprint compared to other procedures performed in healthcare facilities. GIE was identified as the third largest generator of medical waste in healthcare facilities for the following reasons: (1) GIE is associated with high case volumes, (2) GIE patients and relatives travel frequently, (3) GIE involves the use of many nonrenewable wastes, (4) single-use devices are used during GIE, and (5) GIE is frequently reprocessed. Immediate actions to reduce the environmental impact of GIE include: (1) adhering to guidelines, (2) implementing audit strategies to determine the appropriateness of GIE, (3) avoiding unnecessary procedures, (4) using medication rationally, (4) digitalization, (5) telemedicine, (6) critical pathways, (7) outpatient procedures, (8) adequate waste management, and (9) minimizing single-use devices. In addition, sustainable infrastructure for endoscopy units, using renewable energy, and 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) programs are necessary to reduce the impact of GIE on the climate crisis. Consequently, healthcare providers need to work together to achieve a more sustainable future. Therefore, strategies must be implemented to achieve net-zero carbon emissions in the healthcare field, especially from GIE, by 2050.

  • The main purpose of the study is to determine the main aspects of the introduction of modern management technologies into the security system in the context of socio-economic development and digitalization of the economy. Socio-economic development and a high level of security include growth in income, labor productivity, production volumes, increased competitiveness, changes in the institutional environment, consciousness, activity, social security, the quality of the education system, healthcare, etc. Despite the root cause of economic development, it is not an end in itself, but a tool for ensuring social development. Gaining access for citizens to education, health care, observance of the principles of equality and justice, ensuring protection are directly dependent on the level of economic well-being, the level of economic potential of the country or regions. The research methodology involved the use of both theoretical and practical methods. As a result of the study, the key elements of the introduction of modern management technologies into the security system in the context of socio-economic development and digitalization of the economy were identified.

  • TinyOS기반의 u-헬스케어를 위한 무선센서노드 어플리케이션을 구현하였으며 이를 이용하여 기존의 지속적인 데이터 전송방식과 성능 비교를 하였다. 무선센서노드에서 QRS-complex 넓이와 R-R간격을 이용하여 비정상적인 ECG를 감지하였다. 사용된 ECG 데이터는 MIT/HIB Database 100, 112, 119번을 이용하였다. 정상적인 ECG 데이터를 가지고 있는 100레코드를 기준으로 지속적인 데이터 전송 시 발생되는 패킷량과 전원 소모율을 측정 후, 본 연구에서 구현된 문선센서노드 어플리케이션을 이용하여 각각의 ECG데이터를 이전과 같은 방법으로 성능 평가하여 비교분석 하였다. 비교분석 결과, ECG 데이터 발생량, 전원 소모율이 획기적으로 감소된 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 아날로그 3D펜의 디지털화에 대한 연구이다. 디지털은 항상성과 변형가능성, 결합성, 재생산성 그리고 보관의 편리성 등의 특징이 있다. 이런 디지털 특성과 생산을 융합한 장치가 3D프린터인데 낮은 생산성과 재료, 물리적 특성의 한계로 산업적 활용이 제한적이다. 특히 3D프린터를 사용하기 위하여 필요한 모델링 소프트웨어 및 프린터 장치에 대한 전문기술로 인하여 사용자 접근성이 떨어지는 등의 개선 점이 있다. 이것을 보완한 3D펜은 휴대성과 사용용이성이 뛰어난 반면 디지털화가 불가능하다는 한계점이 있다. 따라서 디지털화 능력과 사용편이성을 확보하고 프린팅공정 중 유해성 논란이 있는 프린팅 재료의 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 푸드를 결합하여 연구문제와 대안을 도출하였으며 개발한 3D펜을 통하여 디지털화를 실증하였다. 3D펜의 디지털화를 위하여 구조화된 장치를 통하여 아날로그적 3D펜의 움직임을 감지하는 센서를 특정하고 이 움직임을 공간해석 알고리즘을 통하여 3차원 데이터인 X,Y,Z 좌표값으로 변환하였다. 이를 증명하기 위하여 Meshlab v1.3.4을 이용하여 시각화하고 유사성을 확인하였다. 향후 이 장치(푸드펜)을 통하여 청소년 교육 및 시니어헬스케어 프로그램에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
