“…In 1993, it turned into a standard supported by CEN and later by AAMI. In 2009, it was approved as an ISO 11073-91064:2009 standard [39]. The latest version published by CEN in 2020 [32], which now encompasses rest and stress ECGs, Holter recordings, and protocol-based trials.…”

Interoperability is defined as the ability of a system or device to communicate between different technologies and software applications. This allows the exchange and use of data in an efficient, precise, and robust way. The present article gives researchers and healthcare information systems developers a qualitative and quantitative synthesis of the state of knowledge related to data formats and data standards proposed for mHealth devices interoperability in healthcare information systems that retrieve and store ECG data. We carry out a scoping review to answer to following questions: (1) What digital data formats or data standards have been proposed for the interoperability of electrocardiograph data between traditional healthcare information systems and mobile healthcare information systems? (2) What are the advantages and disadvantages of these data formats or data standards? The scoping review was conducted in four databases in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews, and in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A total of 4018 studies were identified of which 30 studies met the inclusion criteria. Based on our findings, we identify four standards and nine formats for capturing and storing streaming ECG data in mobile health applications. The standards used were HL7, SCP-ECG, x73-PHD, and PDF/A. Formats include CSV, PDF-ECG, and seven XML-based formats. These are ECG-XML, HL7-XML, mPCG-XML, mECGML, JSON, SaECG, and CDA R2.

“…A big issue in the field of healthcare is the collection, the coexistence, the collaboration and the presentation of data which may be scattered in diverse information systems. The exchange of information between such systems which have been designed and manufactured based on different rules and methodologies, requires the existence of a network which, with the use of both hardware and possibly multi-layered functional units of software, may accomplish the aspired interconnection and interoperability between all these systems (Fischer, 2003).…”

The proposed article aims to provide a discussion on the issue of the utilization of wireless technologies, for the deployment of monitoring wireless personal area sensor networks for the unobtrusive monitoring of patients, aiming to answer some of the fundamental questions raised by this, including which is the most appropriate technology for such a networking architecture, what is the best topology for home monitoring wireless sensor network solutions, and what is the performance of the wireless networking technologies. In addition, it aims to initiate some brainstorming as regards how many interoperability protocols are actually need, presenting the strong and weak points of most of the current interoperability standards utilized in the field of homecare, with emphasis on the encoding and formatting of ECG waveforms. Last but not least it aims to pinpoint other important issues in the field of homecare, such as legal and safety issues which are worth of consideration.

“…The standard consists essentially of a use case based Domain Information Model with object and attribute specifications and a Medical Data Dictionary structured in a "universal" nomenclature with associated code tables within the IEEE/ISO 11073-10101 document. The principle of building the nomenclature has been described previously [5]. All domain specific terms for measurements including treatment, e.g.…”
