MZ세대를 위한 유방암 자가진단 디바이스 방향성 연구 - 펨테크 기술·서비스의 유형과 기능 선호 요소를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the preferred types and functional preferences of devices that can proactively diagnose breast cancer in the field of femtech in accordance with the lifestyle of Generation MZ, and to suggest the development direction of breast cancer self-diagnosis devices that can be more effectively managed and cared for in daily life. The research methods and contents are as follows. 1) Reviewed the need for a device by understanding the concept and lifestyle of Generation MZ. 2) We understood the concept of femtech and analyzed the industry status through literature data, and understood the importance and status of management by identifying the concept and status of breast cancer. 3) In the research process, the concept of self-diagnosis devices and the functions of self-diagnosis devices were divided into types through the analysis of domestic and foreign device cases, and the preferred types and preferred functions were derived through two surveys. As a result, the direction of self-diagnostic devices was proposed through common factors and factors with 'MZ' characteristics after comparative analysis of the surveys. They preferred a hassle-free attachment type, monitoring that can be checked in real time, reliable automated analysis algorithms, integration with smartphones, and health records and tracking functions that can help users to manage breast cancer continuously and provide them with awareness and psychological stability. Based on this, we came up with five keywords: convenience, reliability, visibility, connectivity, and continuity. The significance of this study is that it suggests the development direction of a self-diagnosis device that can effectively manage breast cancer in daily life in line with the tendency of MZ generation women to be more interested and aware of their own healthcare. In the future, we believe that the results of this study can be used as a precedent and reference for practical design structure, function, and usability development.
