Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this guide describes the landscape of transport-independent applications and information profiles for personal telehealth devices. These profiles define data exchange, data representation, and terminology for communication between personal health devices and compute engines (e.g., health appliances, set top boxes, cell phones, and personal computers). The guide provides a definition of personal telehealth devices as devices used for life activity, wellness monitoring, and/or health monitoring in domestic home, communal home, and/or mobile applications as well as professional medical usage. Use cases relevant to these scenarios and environments are also presented. This guide sets a context for other personal telehealth standards in the ISO/IEEE 11073 framework of standards and describes the need for interoperability in personal telehealth environments. Interoperability is the key to growing the potential market for these devices and to enabling people to manage their own health independently. New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Reserved. Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, the landscape of transport-independent applications and information profiles for personal telehealth devices is described in this guide. Defined in these profiles are data exchange, data representation, and terminology for communication between personal telehealth devices and compute engines (e.g., health appliances, set top boxes, cell phones, and personal computers). A definition of personal telehealth devices as devices used for life activity, wellness monitoring, and/or health monitoring in domestic home, communal home, and/or mobile applications is provided in this guide.
