The Service and Application of ICT in Medical Industry

This study explores the medical services based on the ICT technologies such as the wireless network and positioning. The related history of internet and recently developed technologies of localization will be introduced. The literature review and case study approaches will be applied to explore the medical services using high technologies.
Combining new technologies and medical industry requires an integrated platform. How to design such a platform and what functionalities required in that are investigated in this thesis. Our data is mainly from Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), including the platform for homecare and eldercare. Moreover, we also study the product samples available on numerous web sites. The services provided in Taiwan are inspected as well.
Due to the increasing aging population worldwide, the medical services incorporating high-tech such as homecare and eldercare have attracted interests from both academics and industry. Once a well developed platform can be integrated, there are many advantages can be expected such as saving the medical resource, enhancing the service quality, and so on. Therefore, the government puts emphasis on such medical integrated scheme such as the U-care project in order to meet the future requirements. We will report the platform constructed by ITRI and analyze the problems encountered in the advanced country such as Japan and America.
Finally, how the technologies are developed from the engineer perspective will be clarified. The networking and positioning services from Intel and Microsoft are studied in this work and the evolvements are also illustrated
