TS EN ISO 11073-10407

TS EN ISO 11073-10407 addresses the technical subject of how blood pressure monitoring devices are represented within the personal health device communication family. Standards in this area focus on turning device measurements and related status information into a common data structure that other systems can interpret, supporting consistent exchange between devices from different manufacturers and healthcare software. This withdrawn record belongs to an edition whose title identifies blood pressure monitor specialization at the interoperability level.

Device specialisation for blood pressure monitoring

Blood pressure monitors are among the most familiar personal and clinical monitoring devices. In general technical terms, they produce systolic and diastolic pressure values and often additional information such as pulse rate. In a personal health device communication model, the important point is that the exchange is not limited to the numeric reading alone; device identity, units, timestamps, measurement status, and similar context also need a consistent representation.

Interoperability in health informatics

The broader purpose of this standard family is to make data from personal health devices easier to align with electronic health systems, monitoring applications, and personal health records. For blood pressure monitoring, that matters because readings from different brands can then be interpreted within the same meaning framework. The result is a more orderly way to record, transmit, and use measurement data in higher-level software.

• Scope implied by the title: device specialisation for blood pressure monitors
• Family purpose: representing personal health device data in a shared communication structure
• General technical value: conveying measurement results together with relevant context
• Typical use context: home monitoring, health informatics systems, and device-to-software data exchange
