民國85年由當時的台灣省政府主導,於花蓮東部海岸地區豐濱鄉豐濱村成立豐濱醫療站(民國95年配合國家政策改名為行政院衛生署花蓮醫院-豐濱原住民分院) 提供週邊及鄰近村落醫療資源開始肩負著照顧偏鄉居民健康的責任。根據戶政司105年1月份統計資料顯示花蓮縣豐濱鄉新社村65歲以上法定老人人口數為105人,計為總人口比例達15.5%。台灣因少子化的衝擊使得人口的高齡化現象已經是不爭的事實,在偏鄉地區由於青壯年人口缺乏就業機會以致紛紛外移到大都市討生活,留在鄉下則多數為老人及幼兒,嚴重的高齡化程度對於高齡化社會現象,最常被探討的重要議題是如何應用現代科技提升或改善對於老人的醫療保健問題。
The Kavalan ,who are an indigenous people of Taiwan, have lived in thriving Lanyang Plain for hundred years. In 1878, Karewan Incident broke out and the Kavalan were continuously suppressed by Qing invaders. Nowadays, The Kavalan groups dispersedly inhabit in Huatung Valley 、Cilai Plain(Hualien City), and the largest settlement of them are in Xinshe village, Fengbin Township, Hualien County. In 1987, the Kavalan tribe in Xinshe village tried hard for decades in order to reveal their determination on the cultural revival movements. Finally in December, 2002 the government declared the Kavalan to be the eleventh ethnic group in Taiwan. The statistical data from Department of Household Registration Affairs shows that there are 105 persons over 65 years old in Xinshe Village, Fengbin Township, Hualian County, accounted for 15.5% of the total population. The most important topic that has been discussed very often on aging society is how to use technologies nowadays to upgrade or improve medical insurance issues. Feng Bin Aboriginal Branch Hospital, located 6.5 km north of Xinshe village, needs to offer tribe reliable internet connection by overcoming rugged environments in order to lead to information of remote health services. According to 3G or 4G coverage three major fixedline operators in Taiwan announce on their official websites, the problem of Internet connection is obviously unable to be solved through mobile network. Even if Physical network connection is adopted, only ADSL provided by Chunghwa Telecom is capable of internet access. The investigation is focused on the Kavalan tribe situated in Xinshe Village, Fengbin Township for test to deploy wireless remote healthcare environment and utilize widespread IEEE802.11ac standard as vehicles of remote healthcare resource. The increase on users' mobility through expansion of existing Virtual Private Network(VPN) results in the stretch from agency to community and family. Test results show TCP averaged upload and download speeds are 138.36Mbps and 114.68Mbps, WDS transmission and receiving rates are 243Mbps and 216Mbps,and the signal intensity is around - 50dBm to -60dBm,and the coverage is in conformity with our expectations. At the same time, we focus on low-cost 、high-bandwidth 、high-transmission efficiency and high-coverage network to satisfy local hospitals or care facilities, which carry out tribe healthcare service in the future and served as reference In the future,resources of mobile healthcare is not constrained by space and time and bring health information resources ,such as remote healthcare information systems 、Hospital Information System(HIS)、Picture Archiving and Communication System(PACS),into tribes to benefit rural people from healthcare resources.
