Lately, in accordance with the improvement of living standards and income level, concern about the health is continuously increasing and the desire is also becoming diverse. This study focused on the user's acceptance of converged smart u-health system. For the study purpose, this paper analyzed the health and technology factors influencing the user's acceptance on u-health system. Thus this study was carried out by using covariance based SEM in order to test the model fitness and path coefficient. As the results, the health management experience among HPM factors and perceived usefulness among TAM had a positive effect on attitude and the perceived usefulness had a direct effect on behavioral intention.

현재 많은 사람들이 스마트폰을 이용하고 있으며 스마트폰을 활용한 IT 기술들이 나날이 발전하고 있다. 또한 스마트폰을 이용 하여 사람들이 생활하는데 있어서 더욱 더 편리한 생활을 할 수 있도록 서비스 환경을 제공해준다. 그 중 대표적인 기술이 U-Health(Ubiquitous-Health) 기술 이며 U-Health 기술은 건강증진과 고령화 사회를 대비하기 위한 효과적인 문제해결 방안으로 주목받고 있다. U-Health 서비스는 스마트폰의 각종 센서를 활용하여 환자의 건강 상태를 체크하고 실시간으로 업데이트 하여 환자의 상태를 더욱 효율적으로 관리할 수 있다. 그러나 환자와 병원 서버 간에 데이터 단일화, 통신문제 등으로 인해서 아직까지는 많이 활용되고 있지 않는 현실이다. 또한 스마트폰으로 인한 환자의 개인신상 정보가 쉽게 노출될 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 NFC(Near Field Communication) 기반에서 환자와 병원간에 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송을 위한 인증 시스템을 설계 하였다.

This study discusses the development of a u-Health care system that can detect quickly and cope actively with emergent situations of chronic disease patients who lead everyday life. If a patient's emergent situation is detected by personal health care host(PHCH), which is composed of acceleration and vibration sensors, GPS, and CDMA communication module, a text message on the patient's current location is transmitted to the hospital and the guardian's mobile terminal so that they can cope with the situation immediately. Especially, the system analyzes data from sensors by using neural network and determines emergent situations such as syncope and convulsion promptly. The exact location of patients can also be found in the electronic map by using GPS information. The experiments show that this system is very effective to find emergencies promptly for chronic disease patients who cannot take care of themselves and it is expected to save many lives.

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.

As the sensors and communication technology get advance, the remote health diagnosis for patients and senior persons at home are possible now without visiting doctors in hospitals. A low-power ubiquitous health check device was developed adapting Real-Time Embedded Linux is developed. This ubiquitous device is consisted of three sensors. The wrist type health checking terminal acquires periodically the health data by using a blood pressure sensor, a pulse sensor and a body temperature sensor. It transmits the health data to the access point located at the home center through the ZigBee wireless communication modem. This health data collector or access point device sends the data again to the main server operated in a hospital or health care organization. The health server control continuously the input data and sends an alarm signal to the assigned. doctor and responsible persons using cellular SMS when any dangerous events occur. This wrist type health check device has an embedded linux OS using Intel PAX255 MPU. The developed U-Health system is applicable for checking patients health in remote at home. And their family or related persons in remote site can check the patients health status at any time. They can be assured by receiving SMS record and alarm of emergency case which is transmitted from the health server.

According to the recent increasing trend of the ages, numbers of patients with chronic diseases are increasing and issues for health care are importantly emerged. In this thesis the research implements U-health care system for health care of patients with chronic diseases. The suggested system for health care of patients with chronic diseases composes bio measurement system, mobile gateway and medical information management server, and bio-signals are composed with modules such as electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen saturation if configured as client. Blood sugar check was considered and implemented to be chosen the ways to transmit through bio measurement system or through gateway. Suggested bio measurement system and mobile gateway are transmitted through Bluetooth. The transmitted biodata is searched by observing health check through mobile gateway, by transmitting through network server, and by using client. By implementing bio signal observation system of patients with chronic diseases, present health check is available by monitoring measured bio data, and various bio signals are transmitted in the mobile environment.

It is necessary to accurate and efficient management for measured digital data from sensors in u-health system. It is not efficient that sensor network process input stream data of mass storage stored in database the same time. We propose to improve the processing performance of multidimensional stream data continuous incoming from multiple sensor. We propose process query based on sliding window for efficient input stream and found multiple query plan to Mjoin method and we reduce stored data using backpropagation algorithm. As a result, we obtained to efficient result about 18.3% reduction rate of database using 14,324 data sets.

This research is to develop PPG filtering method for respiration measurement in U-Health Care system. Respiration rate was determined by filtering PPG and analyzing its spectrum. Optimal filter of PPG has been selected to get respiration by testing 120 sets of experiment data using 700 filtering cases. As a result, 2nd order Bessel-filter that used band-pass cutoff frequency at 0.175~0.4Hz with second order was good at developing respiration signal. Respiration signal in time domain could be continuously analyzed by converting frequency domain using spectrum analysis. 24 seconds has been found to be optimal time duration of collecting PPG data for determining respiration. Therefore, this study was successful of getting not only heart activity but also respiration by only PPG. Minimal invasive measurement obtaining multi-bio information by one sensor can be expected to apply to U-Health Care and human computer interaction.

ularly, a points of view Health-care system, it can reduce costs and efforts in order to management of patients. However, Health-care system keep a level of service for person and extends of hospital inner parts system. Although the rate of an addict grow by alcoholic but it is difficult to manage and diagnosis because of patient data gathering. Therefore in this thesis, it is proposed to patient data gathering and monitering method in u-zone. It can collect patient data by pulse, temperature and acceleration sensor and it can diagnosis correct based on emotion change data.
