Professional association IEEE, US, has announced about four IEEE 11073 standards-development projects intended to expand support for plug-and-play, interoperable medical-device communications.
The projects, when approved by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board as official standards, will join a growing suite of standards designed to help healthcare product vendors and integrators create devices and systems for disease management, health and fitness and independent living.
The projects are IEEE P11703-10419 "Draft Standard for Health informatics—Personal health device communication—Device specialization—Insulin pump"; IEEE P11073-10441 Revision "Draft Standard for Health informatics—Personal health device communication—Part 10441: Device specialization—Cardiovascular fitness and activity monitor"; IEEE P11073-10404 Revision "Draft Standard for Health informatics—Personal health device communication—Device specialization—Pulse oximeter"; and IEEE P11073-10413 "Draft Standard for Health informatics—Personal health device communication—Device specialization—Respiration rate monitor".
To participate in the development of any of the four standards projects, please visit the IEEE 11073 PHD Working Group web page.
