Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, World
Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision, http://esa.un.org/unpp, Wednesday, August 25, 2010; 4:28:54 AM.

Aging and Crisis in Healthcare System (1)
• Population age structure has rapidly changed toward a large older generation since
1990 (especially over 65 years old). In Japan, aging has been accelerated by universal
public healthcare insurance, progress of healthcare technology and downward trend
in the birthrate with modernization.
• With populations aging, growth rate of healthcare cost exceeds economic growth
rate and existing healthcare system is at risk of failure.

• Components of Crisis
1)More people in aging
- Structural change in disease from infectious to chronic
Living for longer time with complicated diseases thanks to advanced medicine

2)Population decline
- Local healthcare became weak because of gap between demand and supply to
healthcare service in thinly populated rural areas, advanced medical technology and
hospitals aggregated for affording the technology.
- In rural areas, physicians are shortly supplied because burden for physicians
working in hospitals has been increased in delivering high advanced medical
technology.

3)Increasing Medical Cost
- Absolute amount of cost grows; $350 billion in 2009 and 6.62% of GDP (2007)
- Rapid increasing cost in recent years; growth rate impossible to cover in the near
future
- Financing ratio between out of pocket and public spending (including both
insurance and the other public expenditure) is around 20% to 80%.

4)Crisis in healthcare insurance
- Extreme difficulty of National Health Insurance (managed by municipal
governments for unemployed and self-employed including increasing retired, less
paid, and poor health elders)
- Much public fund has been used for covering the deficits of the National Health
Insurance. The other insurance such as Government Managed Health
Insurance, Union Managed Insurance and Mutual Aid Insurance also faces heavy
deficits for increasing insured elders. In addition, budget restraint became more
heavier than before.

Agenda
˗ Tele-healthcare
˗ Cloud computing

Direction for needed Reforms (1)

efficient allocation of limited healthcare resources
- Patients’ choice to hospitals and clinics is unlimited throughout the state but
resources are not efficiently allocated such as personnel and material contributions
needed for healthcare. For example, disparity in doctors, and
hospitals/clinics, excessive purchase and use of medical devices, and unconnected
healthcare between clinics and advanced hospitals, among clinics and among
hospitals etc.

From Hospital wards to Home (Average of hospital admission stay; about 17days)
- One of the main reasons in inefficiency and the least used resource is medical
information. To make meaningful use of medical information was not practical at all
because of huge financial cost and much time for its introduction. However, recent IT
progress has already become a promising solution to the problems on cost.

- We lag behind in the statewide application of IT as a reasonably alternative
resource because:
- First, privacy concern is big about establishing core infrastructure of patient ID.
- Second, trustworthiness of IT is insufficient and cost of initial investment is very
high for IT introduction.
- Third, hospitals and clinics are inactive for IT introduction. 17days.

Direction for needed Reforms (2)
• Recently, it is seriously discussed to introduce ID system. We find trend toward
meaningful use of IT based on ID infrastructure enable to (1) keep tabs on
patients, hospitals/clinics, allied health professional, and healthcare resources, (2)
record all medical practices, and (3) deliver effectively all needed information for
optimal resource allocation.

• Positive Effects by Healthcare IT:
1)Sharing personal health information by hospitals and clinics for enhanced quality
of care.
2)Researching comparative cost effectiveness of healthcare by all patient’s clinical
data through realtime statistical procedure.
3)Using effectively resources by understanding allocation of resources and
operating rates.
4)Managing optimally for hospitals and clinics

• Total effect by use of IT in healthcare is uncertain because higher quality of
healthcare causes increasing healthcare demand though the IT accomplishes
enhanced quality and effective allocation of healthcare resources. However, cost
introducing IT in healthcare must bring us the biggest benefit if it is optimally used.

Pedometer
A pedometer is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that
counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person's hips.
Because the distance of each person's step varies, an informal calibration, performed
by the user, is required if presentation of the distance covered in a unit of length
(such as in kilometers or miles) is desired.

• Used originally by sports and physical fitness enthusiasts, pedometers
are now becoming popular as an everyday exercise measurer and
motivator. Often worn on the belt and kept on all day, it can record how
many steps the wearer has walked that day, and thus the kilometers or
miles (distance = number of steps × step length). Some pedometers
will also erroneously record movements other than walking, such as
bending to tie one's shoes, or road bumps incurred while riding a
vehicle, though the most advanced devices record fewer of these 'false
steps'. Step counters can give encouragement to compete with oneself
in getting fit and losing weight. A total of 10,000 steps per day,
equivalent to 5 miles (8.0 km), is recommended by some to be the
benchmark for an active lifestyle, although this point is debated among
experts. Step counters are being integrated into an increasing number
of portable consumer electronic devices such as music players and
mobile phones.


Motion detector
• A motion detector is a device for motion detection. That is, it is a
device that contains a physical mechanism or electronic sensor that
quantifies motion that can be either integrated with or connected to
other devices that alert the user of the presence of a moving object
within the field of view.
• They form a vital component of comprehensive security systems, for
both homes and businesses.

PROTECT IMPERSONATOR


Personal identification with SIM
• SIM: Subscriber Identity Module Card
– IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity)
• High personal authentication with high security has been
secured by carrier; NTT DoCoMo, au and Softbank.
• SIM card that can be obtained in Japan is usually a loan from the
carrier, and when a contract is canceled, it is necessary to return it.

IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity)

• SIM cards are identified on their individual operator
networks by a unique IMSI.
• Mobile operators connect mobile phone calls and
communicate with their market SIM cards using their
IMSIs.
• The format is:
– The first 3 digits represent the Mobile Country Code (MCC).
– The next 2 or 3 digits represent the mobile network code (MNC).
3-digit MNC codes are allowed by E.212 but are mainly used in
the United States and Canada.
– The next digits represent the mobile station identification
number. Normally there will be 10 digits but would be fewer in
the case of a 3-digit MNC or if national regulations indicate that
the total length of the IMSI should be less than 15 digits.

Authentication key (Ki)
• The Ki is a 128-bit value used in authenticating the SIMs on the
mobile network. Each SIM holds a unique Ki assigned to it by the
operator during the personalization process. The Ki is also stored in
a database (termed authentication center or AuC) on the carrier's
network.
• The SIM card is designed not to allow the Ki to be obtained using
the smart-card interface. Instead, the SIM card provides a function,
Run GSM Algorithm, that allows the phone to pass data to the SIM
card to be signed with the Ki. This, by design, makes usage of the
SIM card mandatory unless the Ki can be extracted from the SIM
card, or the carrier is willing to reveal the Ki.
• In practice, the GSM cryptographic algorithm for computing SRES_2
from the Ki has certain vulnerabilities that can allow the extraction of
the Ki from a SIM card and the making of a duplicate SIM card.


Why Japan’s Cellphones Haven’t Gone Global
Japan’s cellphones are like the endemic species that Darwin
encountered on the Galápagos Islands — fantastically evolved and
divergent from their mainland cousins

THE OSAIFU-KEITAI SYSTEM
(LITERAL TRANSLATION: "WALLET-PHONE")


Suica is a rechargeable contactless smart card
used as a fare card on train lines in Japan.
• Launched in November 2001, the card is usable currently in the
Kantō region, at JR East. The card can also be used interchangeably
with JR West's, and also with JR Central starting from spring of 2008,
JR Kyushu starting from spring of 2010.
• The card is also increasingly being accepted as a form of electronic
money for purchases at stores and kiosks, especially within train
stations. As of October 2009, 30.01 million Suica cards are in
circulation.

Since Suica is completely interchangeable with the
Pasmo card (see for the complete listing of companies
and lines that accept Suica) in the greater Tokyo
area, it is supported on virtually any
train, tramway, and bus system (excluding various
limited and shinkansen trains, as well as a few local
buses as the system is still in the process of being
extended to all routes).


From the Osaifu-Keitai system to NFC

• Japan’s cellphones have to adapt NFC in
healthcare IT.
• We will use smart phones in healthcare.

• More NFC….


Mobile FeliCa
• Mobile FeliCa is a modification of FeliCa for use in mobile phones by
FeliCa Networks, a subsidiary company of both NTT DoCoMo and Sony.
DoCoMo has developed a wallet phone concept based on Mobile.
• The Osaifu-Keitai system (literal translation: "wallet-phone") was
developed by NTT DoCoMo, and introduced in July 2004 and later
licensed to Vodafone and au, which introduced the product in their own
mobile phone ranges under the same name.
• FeliCa, developed by Sony, is the de facto standard technology used for
Japanese smart cards. Many of these cards accept Osaifu-Keitai
(Mobile FeliCa) system as well, or plan to accept it in future. Osaifu-
Keitai can provide more convenient services than plastic FeliCa cards.
For instance, it can automatically recharge itself via the Internet, or
provide the latest information.
• It can also be used as a ticket for an airplane or an event, by
downloading an electronic ticket. Unlike plastic cards, a single Osaifu-
Keitai phone may accept multiple applications, each equivalent to
different cards.

FeliCa is a contactless RFID smart card
system from Sony in Japan,
• primarily used in electronic money cards. The name stands for
Felicity Card. First utilized in the Octopus card system in Hong
Kong, the technology is used in a variety of cards also in countries
such as Singapore, Japan and the United States.
• FeliCa's encryption key is dynamically generated each time mutual
authentication is performed, preventing fraud such as
impersonation.
• FeliCa is externally powered, i.e. it does not need a battery to
operate. The card uses power supplied from the special FeliCa card
reader when the card comes in range. When the data transfer is
complete, the reader will stop the supply of power.
• FeliCa was proposed for ISO/IEC 14443 Type C but was rejected.
However, ISO/IEC 18092 (Near Field Communication) uses some
similar modulation methods. It uses Manchester coding at 212 kbit/s
in the 13.56 MHz range. A proximity of 10 centimeters or less is
required for communication.

Conclusion
• Our future challenge is to validate the
effectiveness and impact of this system and
clarify the features for improvement.
• One of requirements for smart phone application
is the simple interface design which is easier
enough for all of care-workers and elderly
people, that there is no keyboard only to touch
the panel for operation.
• The user-familiar interface is needed to be used
by not only care-workers but also patient’s
families.

Outcome by applying the system in home
health
• take advantage of that objective information for evidence-based
management and quality control of home care service.
• Systematic effect can be the practical use of aggregated information
to properly evaluate the care services.
• The system helps to make an effective use of information stored in
the system for appropriate assessment according to realistically job
analysis, by aggregating and managing information that was
recorded in the notebook traditionally.
• Information recorded in real time can be used as an objective data
of patients and users of home care, it is possible to accurately grasp
the reality of health care workers also. Revealed by the current
situation, it is possible to make the quality of nursing care.
• You can visualize the process of care services, conduct business
analysis. By objective evidence-based analysis is expected to make
use of the management of regional alliance between hospitals and
nursing homes.

Outcome by applying the system in
home health
• Secondly, the whole data can be useful for medical
practice collected by the system because it helps to
understand the long-term changes of the patient
condition.
• Information recorded in real time data can be used as an
objective data; it is possible to accurately grasp the
reality of patients and users of home health care. It can
be used effectively to better medical practice, utilizing
the information stored as a database can show the aging
of the patient to understand for a long time about 10 to
20 years.
• Next challenge is to verify the effectiveness of these two
points above, and to make further investigation
necessary features.
