Integrating Seismocardiographic Signals into Standardized Interfaces to Merge into the European Health Data Space...

Integrating seismocardiographic (SCG) signals into standardized interfaces is an important step towards enabling their interoperability into the EHDS. This study examines established health data standards that meet the EHDS regulations and enable the integration of SCG signals and vital signs. Included standards are HL7 FHIR, openEHR, ISO/IEEE 11073, IHE, and DICOM. Each standard is assessed based on its compatibility with the EHDS, its support for raw SCG recordings alongside vital signs, and its ease of implementation in the SArES project app [1]. The results indicate that HL7 FHIR is the most suitable standard for integrating SCG signals into EHDS-compatible Health Information Systems (HIS) due to its REST-based architecture, extensibility through profiles, and widespread adoption. It also suggests that future work should validate interoperability with clinical information systems and SCG recording apps, such as SArES, to prepare SCG as a future health-relevant data source.
