Abstract

Telemedicine health created from the combination of IT and BT technologies has received increased attention for improved quality of life in medically vulnerable regions. As the health care paradigm shifts to preventive management in diagnosis and treatment, the importance of prevention of chronic diseases such as obesity is growing. In this paper, we proposed a picocell-based telemedicine health service for the human UX/UI based on a BT-IT fusion technology considering user convenience. The proposed medical service is a BT-IT fusion technology based on the telemedicine health service that can overcome the spatial limitations of hospital-oriented medical services in order to improve user convenience while naturally combining life and medical service spaces. Human UX/UI technology, which is based on sensor network and biomedical technology, requires next generation wireless communication between devices that connects the inside of the human body with the outside. A heterogeneous network is composed within a single domain, as the frequency bandwidth used by the medical device in the ISM bandwidth is different. If a wireless device and low output ISM device spatially access a heterogeneous network, then an interference problem will occur between the small cells. Additionally, there can be interference as the traffic is off-loaded from the base station at the grouped region of a hotspot. A fatal problem may occur due to an information error of the patient due to interference. To solve the interference problem generated by the telemedicine health platform, the performance of the picocell-based telemedicine health service can be improved by applying scheduling using ABS(Almost Blank Subframe) in the time domain. Therefore, the human UX/UI and the provided guidelines can quickly provide patient information, thereby increasing safety of patients.
