FR Recognition Number 13-113
Standard
IEEE  Std 11073-20601-2019
Health informatics - Personal health device communication - Part 20601: Application profile - Optimized exchange protocol.
Scope/Abstract
Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 personal health device standard family, this standard defines an optimized exchange protocol and modeling techniques to be used by implementers of personal health devices to create interoperability between device types and vendors. This standard establishes a common framework for an abstract model of personal health data available in transport-independent transfer syntax required to establish logical connections between systems and to provide presentation capabilities and services needed to perform communication tasks. The protocol is optimized to personal health usage requirements and leverages commonly used methods and tools wherever possible.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard addresses a need for an openly defined, independent standard for controlling information exchange to and from personal health devices, like weigh-scales, fitness trackers, activity monitors, treadmills, etc., and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set top boxes). Interoperability between these types of devices is key to communicating this data to interested parties including healthcare providers, custodians, and family members, enabling people to be better-informed participants in the management of their health.

This standard is relevant to all medical devices and personal health products which claim interoperability with other networked entities and is being recognized on its scientific and technical merit because it supports existing regulatory policies.
