Strategies for Establishing u-health Care Center Through Research on u-health Service Awareness and Intention to Use

We established a ubiquitous health (u-Health) service center in the entrance to a Sungji Park hiking trail in Busan that allowed users to directly experience and participate in actual u-Health services. Moreover, a comparative analysis was performed. On a group of participants who personally used the services at a u-Health service center and a group of those who had not used u-Health services but had gained an understanding of it through information. The results suggest that to expand the u-healthcare service, individuals need to be better exposed to it in order to gain easier access. Furthermore, it will also be necessary to increase understanding of the service by sharing success stories and further improving the credibility of the examination results.
