A system and method for providing healthcare services in a ubiquitous
environment are disclosed. In order to synthetically manage healthcare
related information as well as provide desired healthcare services using
an IPTV, an IPTV data center and an IPTV communication network, the
system includes at least one health device, a healthcare set-top mounted
on the IPTV, and a healthcare server installed at an IPTV data center.
The health device collects personal health data, and transfers the
collected data based on a Personal Health Device (PHD) standard. The
healthcare set-top analyzes the PHD standard personal health data
transferred from the at least one health device, converts the analyzed
data into Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) standard data, and
transfers the converted CDA standard data through an IPTV communication
network. The healthcare server synthetically manages the CDA standard
data transferred from the healthcare set-top through the IPTV
communication network.
