Abstract

In this paper, proposes a health status monitoring system for socially marginalized elderly households living alone. This system is implemented by collecting various PHR biometric signals and residential environment information through IoT devices. In addition, the company aims to establish a basic infrastructure that can understand the situation of lonely deaths and implement prevention programs by strengthening the predictive ability through data analysis of the DB server based on PHR and information collected from IoT sensors. The sensor consists of an environmental information collection sensor and a noncontact and wearable sensor for biometric signal collection. A gateway is required to transmit the collected data to the server, and the prototype is presented in this paper. The paper has a discussion purpose of policy task for expanding medical welfare service. The results of this study are believed to help expand services to the socially marginalized and improve the medical environment of the people.

본 논문에서는 사회 소외계층인 독거노인가구를 대상으로 IoT 기기를 통한 다양한 PHR 생체신호와 환경정보을 수집하고 수집된 정보를 바탕으로 건강상태를 모니터링하는 시스템을 제안한다. 이와 함께, IoT 센서에서 수집된 정보와 PHR기반의 DB서버의 데이터 분석을 통한 예측능력을 강화하여 고독사 상황을 파악할 수 있는 기본 인프라 구축과 예방 프로그램을 이행하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 센서는 환경 정보 수집 센서와 생체 신호 수집을 위한 비접촉 및 웨어러블 센서로 구성되며 수집된 데이터를 서버로 전송하기 위해 게이트웨이가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 게이트웨이의 프로토타입을 제시한다. 논문은 의료복지서비스의 확대를 위한 정책적 과제의 논의적 목적을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 결과물은 사회 소외 계층에 대한 서비스 확대와 국민의 의료환경개선에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
