The document summarizes the development of ubiquitous healthcare (U-Healthcare) and a proposed elderly-friendly healthcare smart home system in Korea. It discusses the origins of concepts like house calls, telemedicine, and how U-Healthcare expanded medical services anywhere and anytime. It then describes a proposed smart home model that provides integrated health management for elderly residents through online and offline services linked across living spaces, community spaces, and medical facilities. The model aims to develop a low-cost system centered around residents' needs rather than diseases alone. Ideas are generated using design thinking methods and an example clinical decision support system is presented using various health sensors and feedback.

2. House Call, Origin of U-Health
Pictures of Dr. Mattie B. InGold (missionary) making a house call in Korea (1898)
A ‘house call’ was another type of medical care in Korea till 1960’s

3. Telemedicine, Beginning of U-Health
An emergency medical service was conducted on a sea through a
radio frequency communication
(Cover of the the ‘Radio News’ magazine in 1924 )
Telemedicine
:System for diagnosis and treatment of remote patients through telecommunication methods
(e.g. television, telephone and so on).
home healthcare, remote video conference, remote medical image
transmission system, remote diagnosis, virtual hospital, and so on
Application Scope of Telemedicine
System for providing medical information and special consultation
remotely including patient treatment, medical administration,
medical education, request and so on
Comprehensive Definition of Telemedicine

동일 병원 내 또는 지역적으로 멀리 떨어져 있는 의료기관간에 일반전화회선이나 고속회선, 근거리
통신망 등을 이용해 화상정보 및 진단정보를 전송하는 서비스
T1급 전용회선을 연결하여 치매환자 대상으로 상담, 재활교육 및 치매 전문인력 양성 교육 등 실시 (인천 남구, 서울 노원구)
질병의 확인에 해당하는 의료측정은 이를 전문으로 하는 의료기관에서 담당하고,
그 다음 내과나 외과 등 또 다른 전문의사에게 치료받을 때 환자의 정보를 신속하고 정확하게 병원에서
병원으로 옮겨주는 시스템

“나 같은 숨찬 해소환자가 집에서 병원까지 한 번 가려면 차 몇 번 갈아타고
교통은 불편하고 애로사항이 많은데… 서울대병원에서 우리나라 처음으로
U-헬스케어 라고 매일 관리해 주는 의료 서비스가 있다는 사실 때문에 마음
에 위안이 되고 편하고 좋네요”

- Method Cards (IDEO Method Cards, IDEO, Palo Alto, CAL, USA)
 A collection of 51 cards representing diverse ways that design teams can understand the
people they are designing for.
 They are used to make a number of different methods accessible to all members of a design
team, to explain how and when the methods are best used, and to demonstrate how they
have been applied to real design projects
 Inspired by playing cards, the cards are classified as four suits—Ask, Watch, Learn, Try—that
define the types of activities involved in using each method.
