Design and Evaluation of Automatic Health Screening System for University

This paper focuses on System design and Evaluation of "Automatic Health Screening System", which can play an important role of Health Education Support System for University. Major characteristics of This health screening system has some major characteristics such as using IC card for user identification, interfacing several kinds of physical measuring devices and retrieving measured data through Web-DB system. In this case, measuring devices we assumed are, for example, height meter, weight meter, blood pressure monitor, vision analyzer, and so on. Automatic identification for examinees can reduce human errors and incorrect recognition by means of IC card. Interfacing physical measuring devices and control-oriented computer can realize speedup of health screening time. Web-DB system and distributed campus network environment can allow effective and efficient retrieval of measured data obtained from health screening system. With such an automatic health screening system, almost students can easily participate in University-level health screening and investigate/retrieve their proper physical data for their healthcare through dedicated Web-DB system on the network environment. Additionally, Consultation Rate of routine physical examination has been improved as an effect of introduction of automatic health screening system. With comparison of the according consultation rates in 2011 and 2012, the latter has been more 20.0% improved than the former.
