Abstract
|
|
|
The utilization value of big data is increasing, future-oriented health care system based on the personal data concerning health such as "Precision Medicine" is presented and the utilization of digitalized data concerning health generated by a wearable device is actively promoted. However, social discussions for the management of data concerning health generated outside the medical institutions are not supported at all. Under this circumstance, in the case of recent smartphones and wearable devices, they are being developed toward a direction that not only records personal data concerning health but transmit information via applications and provide feedback services. In addition, platforms that integrate and manage the applications that generate various data concerning health are appearing as well.
However, there are many problems in terms of effectiveness, accuracy, and security for data concerning health generated from these wearable computers. Using this data from private insurance companies or governments without solving these problems and establishing the management system may not be appropriate and it can rather interfere with the growth of relevant industries. Particularly in Korea, because major private insurance companies are unique in that they are the subsidiaries of major corporations that govern not only major IT companies but major medical institutions, careful discussion of data concerning health generated outside of medical institutions is required.
