Health informatics — Device interoperability – Part 10408: Personal health device communication — Device specialization — Thermometer

This standard establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth thermometer devices and compute engines (for example, cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set-top boxes) in a way that enables plug-and-play interoperability.

This standard leverages appropriate portions of existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and transport standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviours in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favour of interoperability. A common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth thermometer devices is also defined.
