유비쿼터스 헬스케어는 생체신호 측정기술과 생체신호 측정기의 소형화 경량화로 인해 의료분야의 획기적인 변화를 가져올 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 생체신호 측정 기술의 발전에 비해서 대부분의 생체신호 데이터는 각 시스템 고유의 데이터 포맷을 사용하기 때문에 사용범위가 제한되고 데이터 공유 및 호환에 어려움이 있어 구조적이며 시스템 독립적인 XML을 사용하여 생체신호 데이터를 표현하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 XML 기반의 HL7 Annotated ECG(HL7 aECG) 표준을 이용해서 생체신호 데이터를 표현하고 저장하는 방법을 제시한다. 제시된 방법은 ECG, 심음의 두채널 파형 정보를 포함한 바이너리 포맷을 HL7 aECG 문서로 표현하며, HL7 aECG 문서의 특성을 고려하여 비분할 저장 방식을 사용하고 효율적인 검색을 위해 메타데이터를 추출하여 관계형 테이블에 저장하는 분할 저장 방식을 병행하여 사용한다. 또한 저장된 메타데이터를 효율적으로 검색 및 관리하는 메타데이터 시스템을 설계하며 설계된 구조는 향후 다른 시스템과 연계의 가능성을 제공한다.

In this paper, we develop a descriptor based on binary ECG conversion system that supports the conversion of a binary ECG format into XML-based HL7 aECG for the interoperability of ECG. HL7 aECG is a XML based standard for interoperability of ECG waveform. For the conversion of variety of ECG formats, we propose a binary ECG description mechanism. In order to describe binary ECG more efficiently, we develop a XML-based Binary ECG Description (BED) Language. One of the powerful features of using the XML-based ECG Description mechanism is that ECG data can read from various formats without the modification of source code of conversion system, and consequently it reduces conversion system maintenance costs.

In this paper, we develop a new conversion method for implementing binary ECG(Electrocardiogram) conversion scheme to improve our previous research works that supported the conversion of binary ECG files into HL7 aECG for enhancing interoperability of ECG data. HL7 aECG is a XML-based standard for interoperability of ECG waveform. To improve the performance of ECG data conversion, we utilize a compilation-based ECG conversion method on binary ECG files. Our new method supports both flexibility of BED-based ECG conversion mechanism and the performance of direct conversion mechanism.

Recent developments in IT have made real-time ECG monitoring possible, and this represents a promising application for the emerging HL7 standard for the exchange of clinical information. However, applying the HL7 standard directly to real-time ECG monitoring causes problems, because the partial duplication of data within an HL7 message increases the amount of data to be transmitted, and the time taken to process it. We reduce these overheads by Feature Scaling, by standardizing the range of independent variables or features of data, while nevertheless generating HL7-compliant messages. We also use a De-Duplication algorithm to eliminate the partial repetition of the OBX field in an HL7 ORU message. Our strategy shortens the time required to create messages by 51%, and reduces the size of messages by 1/8, compared to naive HL7 coding.

In this study, A BED(Binary ECG description) based binary ECG conversion system is that supports the conversion of a binary ECG format into XML-based HL7 aECG for interoperability of ECG. HL7 aECG is a XML based standard lot interoperability of ECG waveform. However, it is difficult for beginners to write the BED document of binary BED conversion system in XML. We implement a BED Studio on the Java Servlet engine that allows beginners to write BED documents more easily. Our system consists of three parts: Visual Editor, Text Editor, and Format Checking Viewer. Format Checking Viewer support users to detect the format errors in the XML files, so-called BED documents, that describe the data format of the targer binary ECG file in the BED-based binary ECG conversion system, so may reduce the format errors in BED documents.

In this study, we suggest the effective storage structure and management method for XML-based electrocardiography(ECG) data to support the interoperability between medical information systems, and implement the metadata system of ECG data providing the web-based information service. ECG matadata management system include functions for storing and managing as well as reporting PDF service of ECG data. We analyzed a characteristics of the data and access patterns for XML-based ECG and then used the non-partitioning storing method and indexing the extracted metadata from the HL7 aECC for supporting the quick search. We, using the template mechanism, converts the XML-based results data into various formats in order to provide services of the ECG reporting.

Medical environments incorporate complex and integrated data networks to transfer vast amounts of patient information, such as images, waveforms, and other digital data. To assure interoperability of images, waveforms and patient data, health level seven(HL7) was developed as an international standard to facilitate the communication and storage of medical data. We also adopted medical waveform description format encoding rule(MFER) standard for encoding waveform biosignal such as ECG, EEG and so on. And, the study converted a broad domain of clinical data on patients, including MFER, into a HL7 message, and saved them in a clinical database in hospital. According to results obtained in the test environment, it was possible to acquire the same HL7 message and biosignal data as ones acquired during transmission. Through this study, we might conclude that the proposed system can be a promising model for electronic medical record system in u-healthcare environment.

As the 21st century paradigm of healthcare service changes from post-therapeutic treatment to disease prevention and management in advance, the M2M-based u-healthcare application service is increasingly important. M2M-based u-healthcare application service uses mobile handsets equipped with sensors to measure vital information, and the medical staff in remote locations can manage the health of the patient or the public in real time. In this paper, IEEE/HL7 translation gateway, utilizing the gateway based on M2M u-healthcare application service structure, which is based on international standards, has been designed and implemented. Specifically, the gateway between ISO/IEEE 11073 standards and ANSI HL7 has been developed. The former defines the protocol for the exchange of information between the agent device and the manger devices for measuring and handling biological signal, and the latter defines the application layer protocol for the exchange of various healthcare information systems. Finally, in order to demonstrate the functionality of the proposed architecture, the M2M-based U-healthcare application service based on IEEE/HL7 translation gateway, utilizing the gateway, has been developed which can measure, collect and process a variety of vital signs such as ECG or SpO2.

FHIR is a protocol that enables easy data exchange from the time the event occurred in health care settings as a standard for next-generation message exchange of HL7. Create a meaningful message from the ECG and medical equipment, and express the messages generated by standardized FHIR message it will be used in various medical institutions to ensure delivery to EMR, such as hospital information systems can query the results via a smartphone. In addition, it thought to be used in the future to expand SMART on FHIR, Cardiology, Cardiovascular Surgery ward in real-time remote monitoring.

Home healthcare system has lot of things to do for the integration with medical instruments in the sense of standardization. We will design and implement mobile healthcare system based on smart gateway thru adaptation of ISO/IEEE 11073, and HL7 standard. And also we are willing to research heart rate monitor, pulse-oxygen meter and ECG monitor in order to develop mobile healthcare system for medical appliance. We studied the connection of standard medical devices, i.e, continua health alliance under the Android 4.x Bluetooth HDP(Health Device Profile) environments. We also tried to implement healthcare system which can support diagnosis for healthcare provider and user based on HL7 standard.
