ISO/IEEE 11073 PHD standardization of weighting scale using Nintendo's Wii Balance board™ for healthcare services

As transformed to aging society, many personal devices for healthcare have recently been developed. According to the increase of individual development of health devices, the ISO/IEEE 11073 PHD standard is established for gathering health measurement data. But many existing healthcare devices are not standardized. In this paper, we propose implementation model of standardization for existing healthcare devices which do not follow 11073 PHD standard. We use Nintendo's Wii Balance board as weighting scale and develop virtual weight scale agent for 11073 PHD standardization. It communicates 11073 gateway (manager) with 11073 PHD standard protocols.
