Health informatics — Personal health device communication – Part 10418: Device specialization — International Normalized Ratio (INR) monitor

This standard establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth International Normalized Ratio (INR) devices and managers (for example, cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances and set-top boxes) in a way that enables plug-and-play interoperability. The INR is used in measurements of blood coagulation (clotting) and can be used in the management of the therapeutic level of anticoagulant used in the treatment of a variety of conditions.

This standard leverages other ISO/IEEE 11073 standards, including existing terminology, information profiles, application profile standards and transport standards. The use of specific term codes, formats and behaviours in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favour of interoperability is specified. A common core of functionality of INR devices is defined.
