IEEE Draft for Health Informatics -- Device Interoperability -- Part 10429: Personal Health Device Communication -- Device Specialization - Spirometry

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