在ISO/IEEE 11073设备通信标准系列的背景下，本指南描述了个人远程医疗设备的独立于传输的应用程序和信息概况。这些配置文件定义了个人健康设备和计算引擎（例如，健康设备、机顶盒、手机和个人计算机）之间的数据交换、数据表示和通信术语。本指南将个人远程医疗设备定义为家庭、公共家庭和/或移动应用以及专业医疗用途中用于生活活动、健康监测和/或健康监测的设备。 还介绍了与这些场景和环境相关的用例。

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this guide describes the landscape of transport-independent applications and information profiles for personal telehealth devices. These profiles define data exchange, data representation, and terminology for communication between personal health devices and compute engines (e.g., health appliances, set top boxes, cell phones, and personal computers). The guide provides a definition of personal telehealth devices as devices used for life activity, wellness monitoring, and/or health monitoring in domestic home, communal home, and/or mobile applications as well as professional medical usage. Use cases relevant to these scenarios and environments are also presented.
