As a variety of personal medical devices appear, it is possible to acquire a large number of diverse medical contexts from the devices. There have been efforts to analyze the medical contexts via software applications. In this paper, we propose a generic model of medical analytics schemes that are used by medical experts, identify inference methods for realizing each medical analytics scheme, and present guidelines for applying the inference methods to the medical analytics schemes. Additionally, we develop a PoC inference system and analyze real medical contexts to diagnose relevant diseases so that we can validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed medical analytics schemes and guidelines of applying inference methods.

Throughout the world, aging populations and doctor shortages have helped drive the increasing demand for smart healthcare systems. Recently, these systems have benefited from the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and machine learning. However, these advances result in the generation of large amounts of data, making healthcare data analysis a major issue. These data have a number of complex properties such as high-dimensionality, irregularity, and sparsity, which makes efficient processing difficult to implement. These challenges are met by big data analytics. In this paper, we propose an innovative analytic framework for big healthcare data that are collected either from IoT wearable devices or from archived patient medical images. The proposed method would efficiently address the data heterogeneity problem using middleware between heterogeneous data sources and MapReduce Hadoop clusters. Furthermore, the proposed framework enables the use of both fog computing and cloud platforms to handle the problems faced through online and offline data processing, data storage, and data classification. Additionally, it guarantees robust and secure knowledge of patient medical data.

According to the National Health Insurance Corporation in 2008, there were 17,764,428 physical therapy patients, exceeding 31 percent for the population covered by health insurance. This means that three out of 10 Koreans received physical therapy. And now, 10 years later, due to the aging population and the increase in the sports population, the number of patients with physical therapy is expected to be much more than a decade ago. Among them, many physical therapy patients were orthopedic and neurologic disorder. However, in the medical field applied to physical therapy, it is widely applied across all medical fields, including orthopedics, neurosurgery, pediatrics, gynecology, thoracic surgery and dentistry. It is believed that various cases of patients receiving physical therapy will be secured. as mentioned earlier, there will be a large number of patients with physical therapy treatments, making big data analytics easier. based on this, physical therapy applications are thought to be helpful in the analogy of disease and the development of effective physical therapy and will ultimately promote the development of physical therapy.

The dream is a well-known experience in the routine life. It is the image and thought being occurred during the sleep, and the complex reaction of our mental world to the event of everyday. In particular, there are so many opinions of the reason why people have a dream and this thesis is telling about the physical and pathological changes in the human as one of that various opinions. The aspects of this thesis are often founded in the diverse texts of oriental Medicine, including the Internal Classics(내경), and there were some cases that regarded the dream as diagnostic object and put to clinical uses. These attempts were not only tried out by particular orient thoght, also the ancient Greeks thought that the dream would represent important informations about the health. But, these ideas have been treated lightly by the impacts of the western medicine since the modern age. Straightforwardly, before the psycho-analytics was not development, most of the doctors and scientists regarded the dream as things like dregs of mind. The central operating bodies of the dream are the Spirit(신) and Hon and Beak(혼백), and the Spirit(신) is more essential part between the two.
