Abstract

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.

현재 우리나라가 겪고 있는 고령화는 사회복지서비스의 질적, 양적 확대를 요구하고 있다. 특히, 노령인구의 급격한 증가는 노인과 관련된 다양한 복지 및 의료수요를 유발하여 이에 대한 해결대응이 시급한 실정이다. 또한, 우리나라의 IT기술력은 하루가 다르게 발전하고 있고, 특히 유비쿼터스 분야중 하나인 U-Health의 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 U-Health 기술을 활용하여 노인 Care시스템 모델에 대해 연구하였다. 노인전용 주거환경의 Care시스템에 대해 설계하고, 설계한 내용을 중심으로 유비쿼터스 기술을 접목한 노인 Care시스템에 대해 연구하였다. 기존 사회기반모델과 IT기술을 융합한 노인 Care시스템과 모바일기기간의 연동으로 Care서비스 어플리케이션을 제공하여, 기존의 Care 및 의료수요의 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것이다.
