Health informatics — Personal health device communication – Part 10406: Device specialization — Basic electrocardiograph (ECG) (1- to 3-lead ECG)

This standard establishes a normative definition of the communication between personal basic electrocardiograph (ECG) 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.

This standard leverages appropriate portions of existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology and IEEE 11073-20601 information models. 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 basic ECG (1- to 3-lead ECG) devices is also defined.
