TS EN ISO 11073-10417

TS EN ISO 11073-10417 is a health informatics standard focused on the device specialisation of glucose meters within personal health device communication. Standards in this family aim to let different personal health devices communicate in a common digital language, so measurement results, device identity, and basic device data can be handled more consistently by software and health information systems. In practical terms, this topic is about making glucose meters understandable to interoperable digital ecosystems.

What device specialisation means for glucose meters

In general technical terms, device specialisation defines which data objects a device reports, how those objects are named, and how receiving systems should interpret them. For glucose meters, that typically matters because blood glucose readings, timing information, device identity, and related measurement context all need to be represented in a consistent way. A shared profile like this helps different makes and models work more smoothly with the same health software.

This standard concerns the communication profile of personal glucose measurement devices, not laboratory analysers or broad medical communication frameworks. The personal health device communication approach provides a common technical structure for transferring results from a meter into digital health records and for aligning device classification and interface behavior across implementations. Users should note that this is a withdrawn TSE edition of the standard.
