在ISO/IEEE 11073设备通信标准系列的背景下，本标准建立了个人身体成分分析仪代理和管理人员（如手机、个人电脑、个人健康设备、机顶盒）之间通信的规范性定义，以实现即插即用互操作性。它利用了现有标准的适当部分，包括ISO/IEEE 11073术语、信息模型、应用程序配置文件标准和传输标准。它规定了远程医疗环境中特定术语代码、格式和行为的使用，以限制基础框架中的可选性，从而有利于互操作性。本标准定义了产品的共同核心 个人远程健康身体成分分析仪的通信功能。在这种情况下，短语a？身体成分分析仪？广泛用于测量身体阻抗的分析设备，并根据阻抗计算包括身体脂肪在内的各种身体成分。

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of the communication between personal body composition analyzer agents and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set-top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and transport standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments to restrict optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This standard defines a common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth body composition analyzers. In this context, the phrase "body composition analyzer" is used broadly to cover analyzing devices that measure body impedances and compute the various body components including body fat from the impedance.
