ISO/IEEE International Standard: Health informatics--Device interoperability--Part 10472: Personal health device communication--Device specialization--Medication monitor

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth medication monitor devices and compute engines (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) is established by this standard in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. Appropriate portions of existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and transport standards are leveraged. The use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability are specified. A common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth medication monitor devices is defined in this standard.
