Abstract

With the recent increase in dementia patients due to aging, measures to prevent their wandering behavior and disappearance are urgently needed. To solve this problem, various authentication methods and location detection techniques have been introduced, but the security problem of personal authentication and a system that can check indoor and outdoor overall was lacking. In order to solve this problem, various authentication methods and location detection techniques have been introduced, but it was difficult to find a system that can check the security problem of personal authentication and indoor/outdoor overall. In this study, we intend to propose a system that can identify personal authentication, basic health status, and overall location indoors and outdoors by using wristband-type wearable devices in a private blockchain environment. In this system, personal authentication uses ECG, which is difficult to forge and highly personally identifiable, Bluetooth beacon that is easy to use with low power, non-contact and automatic transmission and reception indoors, and DGPS that corrects the pseudorange error of GPS satellites outdoors. It is intended to detect wandering behavior and abnormal signs by locating the patient. Through this, it is intended to contribute to the prompt response and prevention of disappearance in case of wandering behavior and abnormal symptoms of dementia patients living at home or in nursing homes.

최근 고령화로 인한 치매환자의 증가로 그들의 배회행동과 실종예방을 위한 대책이 시급하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 인증 방법과 위치 탐지 기법들이 소개되고 있으나 개인인증의 보안성 문제와 실내·외를 전반적으로 확인할 수 있는 시스템은 찾아보기 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 프라이빗 블록체인 환경에서 손목 밴드 형태의 웨어러블 디바이스를 활용해 개인인증, 기본적 건강 상태 파악 및 실내·외의 전반적인 위치를 파악할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 시스템에서 개인인증은 위변조가 어렵고 개인식별성이 높은 ECG를, 실내는 저전력, 비접촉 및 자동 송수신 방식으로 사용이 용이한 블루투스 비콘을, 실외는 GPS 위성의 의사거리 오차를 보정한 DGPS를 활용하여 치매환자의 위치를 파악함으로써 배회행동 및 이상징후를 탐지하고자 한다. 이를 통해 재가나 요양시설 등에서 생활하는 치매환자의 배회행동 및 이상징후 시 신속한 대처와 실종예방에 기여하고자 한다.
