IEEE has announced four IEEE 11073™ standards-development projects intended to expand support for plug-and-play, interoperable medical-device communications. These standards will help support patients living with chronic diseases like asthma, diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and hypertension.
The four standards-development projects, once approved by the IEEE Standards Association as official will help healthcare product vendors and integrators create devices such as insulin pumps, pulse oximeters, respiration rate monitors, and cardiovascular fitness and activity monitors.
To participate in development of any of the four standards projects, please visit the IEEE 11073 PHD Working Group.
