Abstract :
This shows a reference model for commercializing IT-based convergence technology in the u-health service. For fast commercialization, a test-bed project is conducted in Daejeon City, Korea. In the project, two service models, the Greencare service for young people and the Silvercare service for elderly people, are introduced and tested. In a test level, the two services are accepted by users, however, it is necessary to enhance performance of the services with more personal health devices.
