Abstract
The Ubiquitous Health, or u-Health, service is an IT health care service using the ubiquitous computing environment. u-Health provides customized medical services. As it is a service that has developed from the current hospital visiting medical system, the u-Health service provides a patient with healthcare anywhere and anytime. In this paper, we propose a health management service model using home health gateway based on the u-Health platform. Using home health gateway, u-Health can provide health monitoring, diet, and exercise services using the Healthcare Decision Support Module (HDSM) in the ubiquitous environment. This approach would offer specialized services using an external content provider of DB. In addition, a doctor can provide advice to patients using the monitoring service. The proposed u-Health platform provides effective services using home health gateway in ubiquitous environments to customers, which will improve the health of chronic patients.
