Remote measurement technology is a technology that processes signals sent from remote sites and sends them to communication. Recently, it includes control by using a computer, and it is a technology that creates high value-added technologies by cutting-edge industrial fields. Various techniques, such as processing, can be applied and can be applied in the fields of electrical and electronics, control measurement, machinery, telecommunications, and computer industries. Target technologies and industries are being advanced by introducing the concept of communication network, and the development speed is further accelerated with the development of communication technology. Recently, with the development of the Internet and mobile phones, remote measurement systems in various fields are growing rapidly.

In the field of facility safety telemetry, disaster prevention and maintenance can be applied through constant monitoring of buildings, tunnels, bridges, ground, and falling rocks. In the case of bridges, there is a maintenance system for each member that forms the entire structural system and structural condition inspection for each member that forms the entire structural system. Of these, the maintenance system installs measurement sensors on the structure to provide wired / wireless information on these data. In addition, it analyzes the behavior of the structure using the time history of the data through optical communication and provides the information necessary for bridge maintenance. Recently, the dynamic characteristics of the low-frequency behavior of long bridges are analyzed by using GPS, and the structure mode is extracted and maintained. GPS and accelerometers are installed to analyze the damage of buildings caused by earthquakes. GPS can be used to build monitoring for buildings by measuring displacements before and after earthquakes using absolute displacement measurements. In addition, in the tunnel, the monitoring system can be constructed by establishing a monitoring system using a camera that relies on visual inspection of the cracks in the tunnel.

U-Healthcare refers to the service of preventive diagnosis and follow-up care anytime, anywhere by connecting information communication and medical care.
