This standard defines specifications for the representation of mobile health minimum metadata, data related to sleep and physical activity. Data pertaining some environmental variables, surveys, and relevant units of measure and value sets are defined because they are needed for the representation of minimum metadata, data related to sleep and physical activity. The standard is agnostic with respect to current or future devices or apps that measure those types of health data. The purpose is to provide standard semantics to enable meaningful description, exchange, sharing, and use of mobile health data related to sleep and physical activity. Data and associated metadata will be sufficiently clear and complete to support analysis for a broad set of consumer health, biomedical research, and patient-centered clinical care needs. New IEEE Standard - Active. Mobile and wearable devices are being increasingly developed for health care purposes. Mobile health (mHealth) data encompasses personal health data collected from sensors and mobile applications. Standardizing mHealth data and metadata will improve the ease and alignment accuracy of aggregating data across multiple mobile health sources (semantic interoperability) and will reduce the costs of using this data for biomedical discovery, improving health, and managing disease. Specifications for standardized representations of quantitative sleep and physical activity measures, minimum metadata, and subjective reports (surveys) are defined by this IEEE 1752.1 standard. The purpose of this standard is the providing of standard semantics to enable meaningful description, exchange, sharing, and use of such mHealth data. Data and associated metadata complying to this standard will be sufficiently clear and complete to support their use for a broad set of consumer health, biomedical research, and clinical care needs.
