Health informatics — Personal health device communication – Part 10417: Device specialization — Glucose meter

This standard establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth glucose meter 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 glucose meters is also defined.
