Full Description
Scope
This standard will define specifications for a mobile health data applications programming interface (API) and standardized representations for mobile health data and metadata. Mobile health data encompasses personal health data collected from sensors and mobile applications.
Purpose
The purpose is to provide standard semantics to enable meaningful description, exchange, sharing, and use of mobile health data. Data and associated metadata will be sufficiently clear and complete to support analysis for a set of consumer health, biomedical research, and clinical care needs.This standard will leverage data and nomenclature standards suchas the IEEE 11073 family of standards for personal health devices asreferences.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.Mobile and wearable devices are increasingly being developed for health care purposes. Mobile health (mHealth) data encompasses personal health data collected from sensors and mobile applications. Standardizing mHealth data and metadata will improve the ease and alignment accuracy of aggregating data across multiple mobile health sources (semantic interoperability) and will reduce the costs of using this data for biomedical discovery, improving health, and managing disease.This IEEE 1752 standard defines specifications for standardized representations of quantitative sleep and physical activity measures, minimum metadata and subjective reports (surveys). The purpose of this standard is to provide standard semantics to enable meaningful description, exchange, sharing, and use of such mHealth data. Data and associated metadata complying to this standard will be sufficiently clear and complete to support their use for a broad set of consumer health, biomedical research, and clinical care needs.
