Abstract
In today's era of aging society, people want to handle personal health care by themselves in everyday life. In particular, the evolution of medical and IT convergence technology and mobile smart devices has made it possible for people to gather information on their health status anytime and anywhere easily using biometric information acquisition devices. Healthcare information systems can contribute to the improvement of the nation's healthcare quality and the reduction of related cost. However, there are no perfect security models or mechanisms for healthcare service applications, and privacy information can therefore be leaked. In this paper, we examine security requirements related to privacy protection in u-healthcare service and propose an extended RBAC based security model. We propose and design u-healthcare service integration platform (u-HCSIP) applying RBAC security model. The proposed u-HCSIP performs four main functions: storing and exchanging personal health records (PHR), recommending meals and exercise, buying/selling private health information or experience, and managing personal health data using smart devices.

Summary
At the time of the entry of an aging society, people are interested in health and desire to manage their healthy life by themselves. To support more secure healthcare services, it is necessary to construct security model that can be applied to a personalized healthcare service platform in order to preserve the privacy and protect the personal health records. This should be a prerequisite of personal healthcare services. We examine security requirements related to privacy protection in u-healthcare service integration platform (u-HCSIP) and extend an RBAC security model. The proposed u-HCSIP supports a healthy lifestyle by measuring personal health information in a hospital clinical, imaging, and drug data, as well as health information obtained from smart devices.
