在ISO/IEEE 11073个人健康设备标准系列的背景下，本标准定义了个人健康设备实施者使用的优化交换协议和建模技术，以创建设备类型和供应商之间的互操作性。本标准为个人健康数据的抽象模型建立了一个通用框架，该模型采用独立于传输的传输语法，用于在系统之间建立逻辑连接，并提供执行通信任务所需的表示能力和服务。该协议针对个人健康使用需求进行了优化，并尽可能利用常用的方法和工具。

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 personal health device standard family, this standard defines an optimized exchange protocol and modeling techniques to be used by implementers of personal health devices to create interoperability between device types and vendors. This standard establishes a common framework for an abstract model of personal health data available in transport-independent transfer syntax required to establish logical connections between systems and to provide presentation capabilities and services needed to perform communication tasks. The protocol is optimized to personal health usage requirements and leverages commonly used methods and tools wherever possible.
