Health Informatics – Personal Health Device Communication – Device Specialization – Power Status Monitor of Personal Health Devices

This standard establishes a normative definition of communication between devices containing a power source (agents) and managers (e.g. cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. Using existing terminology, information profiles, application profile standards, and transport standards as defined in other ISO/IEEE 11073 standards, this standard defines a common core of communication functionality of personal health devices containing a battery, including: 1) Current device power status (for instance on mains or on battery); 2) Power charge status (for instance percent of full charge); 3) Estimated time remaining (for instance, minutes).
