Proposal of a novel remote command and control configuration extension for interoperable Personal Health Devices
Abstract:
New use cases to extend the interoperability standard ISO/IEEE11073 (X73) were found during the development of recent specializations. These use cases expose the need of remote command and control extensions to allow managers to configure agents through the standard. This paper presents a proposal for an extension of remote control and configuration service able to standardize a general procedure within the newest branch of this standard called X73 for Personal Health Devices (X73PHD). In order to develop a service for remote control, several approaches have been studied and discussed in the Personal Health Device Working Group (PHD-WG). The final solution is defined following the PHD-WG guidelines and integrated with the Optimized Exchange Protocol (X73-20601) and device specializations (X73-104xx). Previous works such as the classic command and control and the extended services packages from X73-10201 and X73-20301, respectively, have also been taken into account.
