There have been many studies on u-Healthcare system for human using sensor network systems. In this paper, we design and implement a healthcare system for pets called uPetCare(Ubiquitous Pet-Care System) that can manage the status of pet on the web. The main functions of this system are 1) gathering data using sensor network, 2) multi-hop communication in sensor network, 3) data compression and aggregation at sink node, 4) storing data in web server, 5) real-time data monitoring using AJAX, 6) activity recognition of pet.

This paper presents a novel method to design and implement mobile u-health system by defining the essential elements of mobile healthcare services. We choose common service elements for the proposed u-healthcare scheme and design the service platform. Especially we focus on automatic feces or urine sensing u-care scheme to prove the effectiveness of our platform. We construct the system with sensing part with a manikin and a diaper, wireless communication part with feces or urine sensing data, and coordinator system based on the u-health platform defined in this paper. Experimental results show that our scheme is useful in the area of u-care service for the handicapped, the elderly, and patients who can hardly move by themselves. In addition the designed scheme offers a realized u-care scheme with the purpose of advanced developing tools for application or service developers.

This paper presents an u-health Care system based on context-awareness information. Extended project induced an education for creative engineering design. It could occur one of the issue for life care or wellness in recently life. Especially u-health Care system help on achieving this object as an efficient care-training with user blood pressure or with echocardiogram, electromyogram, electroencephalogram, or Electrocardiography. In this paper, development project show an u-health care system based on this parameters of the context-awareness with network service and analysis provide with working memory(DB) for user data base applications.

As our country is currently facing "aging society," people demands for qualitively and quantitatively better social welfare services. In particular, the abruptly rapid increase in the elderly population requires various welfare services and medical care related to the elderly. It is urgent to resolve these demands. Also, IT technology in Korea is developing rapidly, and U-Health, a part of the Ubiquitous field is under the actively ongoing researches. In this paper, we studied the Elderly care system model suing U-Health technology. We designed the care system of the residential environment designed specific for the elderly. Additionally, based on that design, we studied the elderly care system using the ubiquitous technology. Since this elderly care system combines the existing community-based model and IT technology in conjunction with other mobile devices, we may supply a new care service application, thus solving the problems of the existing care and medical services.

Healthcare is a research field suitable for applying the recent ubiquitous techniques. As a test system, we developed a kind of CDSS (Clinical Decision Support System) running in ubiquitous environment. called as 'uCDSS'. The uCDSS is a core system of the ubiquitous healthcare and is composed of some 'uMLMs(Ubiquitous Medical Logic Modules)'. The uMLMs based on the class in C# programming language could be reused in development of CDSS, or another EHR system running in .NET environment. As a test system, we developed the DM(Diabetes Mellitus knowledge system using ASP.NET. This system shows the potential of C# class-based uMLMs and the extensibility to any .NET development project.

Various studies on individual health-care application services have been lively going on due to recent development of information and communication technology and improvement of life quality. Moreover, U-health care area is emerging as a new growth industry as the demand of U-health care service for a quality life grows with the development of medical technology and ubiquitous environment. U-health care system for crew members on ships, who need to spend much time on sea far from their families, is especially needed because they find their job much more stressful not only physically but also mentally than any other people in different jobs do and have less chance to get proper medical services in time. In this paper, we suggested how to get more accurate and objective U-health wellbeing index by complementing SF-36, the general heath care index model in order to managing health of crew. Also we designed the U-health wellbeing index service system which can provide appropriate sports programs or diet contents according to health index.

Aging our country is facing now is seeking qualitative and quantitative expansion of social welfare services. In particular, the rapid increase in the aging population is an urgent need to resolve the problems of inducing demand for medical care and various welfare related to the elderly, In addition, IT technology in Korea is improving daily, in particular, fields of ubiquitous have been studied actively. In this paper, U-Health Care System model technology for the elderly were studied. Existing residential and senior living environment dedicated to the Care system for the fusion of design, and content designed around the ubiquitous technology that combines the old Care system was studied. Existing community-based model that combines technology and IT systems and mobile elderly Care services in conjunction with other devices by providing an application, the existing Care and medical needs will be able to solve the problems.

Purpose: We analyzed the need for home care services and awareness of U-healthcare in nurses of the Catholic Parish Home Care Center to link the ubiquitous health care system and the home care. Methods: We recruited 46 nurses from a home care center in the catholic parish of the C medical center from April 4th to June 8th, 2007. Results: The highest needs were 'assessment and diagnosis of the problem', 'management of hypertension & diabetes patients', 'counseling of the patient', and 'counseling of major caregiver and family problems'. Therapeutic nursing showed the highest needs in bedsore care. Nurses want hospital medical records available through the ubiquitous health care system. Conclusion: Home care services are supported from the agency, with high needs in assessing and diagnosing the problem, counseling, and managing of hypertension & diabetes patients. Education and public relations efforts on the U-healthcare system should improve system awareness.

In this paper, it is presented to the designed and implemented care system fur health diagnosis. The designed handhold care system is implemented by embedded Visual C++4.0 and Pocket PC2003 software development kit (SDK) in an 802.11 wireless network, and we were conducted that the research provide sufficiently the usefulness of the U health system for the collection of care management information. The proposed system is consists of care management module for health diagnosis, personal record module, data transport module, image information management module for clinic. Also, fur emergency status, transmission function of clinic information is implemented by wireless LAN protocol and serial communication.
