이승철 ( Seung Chul Lee ),정완영 ( Wan Young Chung ) 한국센서학회 2011 센서학회지 Vol.20 No.2

Wireless sensor network(WSN) has the potential to greatly effect many aspects of u-healthcare. By outfitting the potential with WSN, wearable sensor node can collects real-time data on physiological status and transmits through base station to server PC. However, there is a significant gap between WSN and healthcare. WSN has the limited resource about computing capability and data transmission according to bio-sensor sampling rates and channels to apply healthcare system. If a wearable node transmits ECG and accelerometer data of 4 channel sampled at 100 Hz, these data may occur high loss packets for transmitting human activity and ECG to server PC. Therefore current wearable sensor nodes have to solve above mentioned problems to be suited for u-healthcare system. Most WSN based activity and ECG monitoring system have been implemented some algorithms which are applied for signal vector magnitude(SVM) algorithm and ECG noise algorithm in server PC. In this paper, A wearable sensor node using integrated ECG and 3-axial accelerometer based on wireless sensor network is designed and developed. It can form multi-hop network with relay nodes to extend network range in WSN. Our wearable nodes can transmit 1-channel activity data processed activity classification data vector using SVM algorithm to 3-channel accelerometer data. ECG signals are contaminated with high frequency noise such as power line interference and muscle artifact. Our wearable sensor nodes can remove high frequency noise to clear original ECG signal for healthcare monitoring.

Jin-Tae Park,Hyun-Seo Hwang,Il-Young Moon 한국정보통신학회 2014 2016 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Vol.6 No.1

Technology improvements and the advent of smart devices have led to the development of smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Further, in recent years, wearable devices have gained considerable research attention. In addition, the increasing interest in the field of healthcare has resulted in an increase in the research and development of wearable devices associated with healthcare. Wearable devices that are incorporated into clothes and accessories allow individuals the free use of their hands. The basic concept of these devices-a device that can be worn instead of being carried-supplements the intellectual capacity of a human; therefore, in this paper, we aim to implement a computing environment for large-scale equipment based on these devices. In order to respond to user needs in real time, it is necessary to develop wearable devices that ensure the user’s safety. Further, to reduce the discomfort of using multiple devices, wearable devices should be compatible with other devices so that only a single device is used. Therefore, in this paper, we combined a smart TV, a wearable smart band, and a smartphone to enable the user to effectively store physical information; moreover, we developed a system to manage this information.

김태환,박인규 한국센서학회 2022 센서학회지 Vol.31 No.2

Wearable devices have the potential to revolutionize future medical diagnostics and personal healthcare. The integration of biosensors into scalable form factors allow continuous and noninvasive monitoring of key biomarkers and various physiological indicators. However, conventional wearable devices have critical limitations owing to their rigid and obtrusive interfaces. Recent developments in functional biocompatible materials, micro/nanofabrication methods, multimodal sensor mechanisms, and device integration technologies have provided the foundation for novel skin-interfaced bioelectronics for advanced and user-friendly wearable devices. Nonetheless, it is a great challenge to satisfy a wide range of design parameters in fabricating an authentic skin-interfaced device while maintaining its edge over conventional devices. This review highlights recent advances in skin-compatible materials, biosensor performance, andenergy-harvesting methods that shed light on the future of wearable devices for digital health and personalized medicine.

헬스케어형 e스포츠(VR)게임 운동효과 검증을 위한 분석 툴 제안 - 국민체조 12가지 동작을 중심으로

임상국 한국e스포츠학회 2024 e스포츠 연구: 한국e스포츠학회지 Vol.6 No.1

본 연구에서는 헬스케어형 e스포츠(VR)게임이 내포하고 있는 운동효과를 검증하기 위한 분석 툴을 제안한 다. 최근 헬스 케어 관련 게임 시장의 확대는 웨어러블 형태의 비대면 홈트레이닝 방식으로 급속히 발전하고 있다. 웨어러블 디바이스는 VR게임콘텐츠와 더불어 다양한 헬스케어 분야로 연구되고 있다. 특히 이를 통해 보행이 불편하거나 외부활동을 꺼려하는 특정 취약계층에 적합한 콘텐츠를 개발 할 수 있다. 하지만 헬스케어 형 e스포츠(VR)게임이 실질적인 운동효과가 있는가에 대한 의문점을 해결할 분석 툴이 필요하다. 따라서 가장 보편적인 움직임을 표현하는 국민체조의 12가지 동작들을 비교분석하고 의미있는 결과를 도출하여 운동효과 를 증명하고자 한다. 국민체조 12가지 동작들을 기준으로 e스포츠(VR)게임 4종에 관한 신체활동의 특성들을 분석하여 평가요소를 제안한다. 이는 e스포츠가 물리적인 활동으로써의 운동효과도 충분히 재현할 수 있는 실 생활 스포츠임을 인식하는 계기로 작용한다. 또한 향후 웨어러블 헬스케어 게임콘텐츠 제작을 위한 가이드로 써도 의미가 있다. In this study, we propose an analytical tool to verify the exercise effectiveness of healthcare VR games. Recently, the healthcare-related game market has been rapidly developing into a wearable, non-face-to-face home training method. Wearable devices are being researched in various healthcare fields along with VR game contents. In particular, it is possible to develop content that is suitable for certain vulnerable groups, such as those who have difficulty walking or are reluctant to go outside. However, there is a need for analytical tools to address the question of whether VR games for healthcare have a real exercise effect. Therefore, we aim to prove the exercise effectiveness by comparing and analyzing the 12 movements of Korean gymnastics, which represent the most common movements, and drawing meaningful results. Based on the 12 movements of national gymnastics, we analyze the characteristics of physical activity for four VR games and propose evaluation factors. This will serve as an opportunity to recognize that eSports is a real-life sport that can fully reproduce the exercise effect as a physical activity. It is also meaningful as a guide for the production of wearable healthcare game contents in the future.

Recent Patient Health Monitoring Platforms Incorporating Internet of Things-Enabled Smart Devices

강민희,박은경,조백환,이규성 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2018 International Neurourology Journal Vol.22 No.S2

Synergistic integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and big data technologies in healthcare have led to the notion of “smart health.” Smart health is an emerging concept that refers to the provision of healthcare services for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up management at any time or any place by connecting information technologies and healthcare. As a significant breakthrough in smart healthcare development, IoT-enabled smart devices allow medical centers to carry out preventive care, diagnosis, and treatment more competently. This review focuses on recently developed patient health monitoring platforms based on IoT-enabled smart devices that can collect real-time patient data and transfer information for assessment by healthcare providers, including doctors, hospitals, and clinics, or for self-management. We aimed to summarize the available information about recently approved devices and state-of-the-art developments through a comprehensive, systematic literature review. In this review, we also discuss possible future directions for the integration of cloud computing and blockchain, which may offer unprecedented breakthroughs in on-demand medical services. The combination of IoT with real-time, remote patient monitoring empowers patients to assert more control over their care, thereby allowing them to actively monitor their particular health conditions.

개인건강기록 시스템에서 개인 프라이버시 보호를 위한 보안 레이블 기법

이명규,유돈식,황보택근 한국인터넷방송통신학회 2015 한국인터넷방송통신학회 논문지 Vol.15 No.6

개인건강기록 기술의 출현은 인터넷 서비스의 이용 뿐 아니라 패러다임을 변화시키고 개인 맞춤형 서비스의 중요성을 강조하고 있다. 하지만, 개인건강기록 기술이 헬스케어와 융합되면서 사용자 개인정보 침해와 사용자의 민감한 의료정보가 유출되고 되는 문제가 증가되고 있다. 본 논문은 개인건강기록 시스템에서 프라이버시 보호를 위한 보안 라벨링 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서 개인건강기록 데이터는 환자의 요청이나 보안 라벨 규칙들에 의해 자동적으로 분류된다. 제안된 기법은 접근제어, 보호대책을 구체적으로 명시하고, 통신 보안 정책에 의해 요구되는 추가적인 제한을 결정하는데 사용될 수 있다. The advent of personal healthcare record(PHR) technology has been changing the uses as well as the paradigm of internet services, and emphasizing the importance of services being personalization. But the problem of user's privacy infringement and leaking user's sensitive medical information is increasing with the fusion of PHR technology and healthcare. In this paper, we propose a security labeling scheme for privacy protection in PHR system. In the proposed scheme, PHR data can be labeled also manually based on patient's request or the security labelling rules. The proposed scheme can be used to control access, specify protective measures, and determine additional handling restrictions required by a communications security policy.
