IEEE 11073-10442 : 2023

Full Description

Scope

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of StandardDetails for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of the communication between personal strength fitness devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers [PCs], personal health appliances, and set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing StandardDetails, including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology and information models. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This standard defines a common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth strength fitness devices. In this context, strength fitness devices are being used broadly to cover strength fitness devices that measure musculo-skeletal strength-conditioning activities.

Purpose

This standard addresses a need for an openly defined, independent standard for controlling information exchange to and from personal health devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, PCs, personal health appliances, and set top boxes). Interoperability is the key to growing the potential market for these devices and to enable people to be better-informed participants in the management of their health. See IEEE Std 11073-20601™ for an overview of the environment within which this standard is written. This document defines the device specialization for the strength fitness device, being a specific agent type, and it provides a description of the device concepts, its capabilities, and its implementation according to this standard. This standard is based on IEEE Std 11073-20601, which in turn draws information from both ISO/IEEE11073-10201 [B6]6 and ISO/IEEE 11073-20101 [B7]. The medical device encoding rules (MDER) used within this standard are fully described in IEEE Std 11073-20601. This standard defines specialized nomenclature codes that will be collected in IEEE Std 11073-10101. Between this standard, IEEE Std 11073-10101, IEEE Std 11073-20601, and other IEEE Std 11073-104xx, all required nomenclature codes for implementation are documented. New codes may be defined in newer versions/revisions of each of these documents. In the case of a conflict, where one term code has been assigned to two separate semantic concepts with different reference identifiers (RefIDs), in general the oldest definition that is in actual use should take precedence. The same policy applies when one RefID has two different code values assigned in different specifications. The resolution of such conflicts will be determined through joint action by the responsible workgroups and other stakeholders, and any corrective action will be published as corrigenda. NOTE—In this standard, IEEE Std 11073-104xx is used to refer to the collection of device specialization StandardDetails that utilize IEEE Std 11073-20601, where xx can be any number from 01 to 99, inclusive.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Active. Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of StandardDetails for device communication, a normative definition of the communication between personal strength fitness devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability is established in this standard. Appropriate portions of existing StandardDetails including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology and information models are leveraged. The use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability is specified. A common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth strength fitness devices is defined. In this context, strength fitness devices are being used broadly to cover strength fitness devices that measure musculo-skeletal strength-conditioning activities.
