Towards e-Health device interoperability: the Spanish experience in the telemedicine research network

Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2006:2006:3258-61. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2006.259244.

Abstract

The expansion of e-Health solutions is hindered by the high costs and low flexibility of home and mobile telemonitoring systems. This situation may be improved by the use of standards to design open, plug-and-play and interoperable devices. This work describes the joint efforts of three research groups in Spain towards the interoperability of their telemonitoring solutions based on the ISO11073/IEEE1073 family of standards.
