Personal Health Care Management System Developed under ISO/IEEE 11073 with Bluetooth HDP

Abstract

The standardization and interoperability become central issues among researchers and the business market in Personal Health Monitoring and U-Health support systems. ISO/IEEE11073 gives a good cost efficient standardization medium for that matter. In this paper, we developed a smart phone based health monitoring system under ISO/IEEE11073 and Bluetooth HDP. Here we report the implementation details of HDP Manager that can be used for personal health monitoring with smart phones based on Bluetooth HDP through HDP agent simulator based on ISO/IEEE 11073 PHD. The gateway in our system is based on HL7 converter. The system is designed for applying to all PHDs based on Bluetooth HDP authorized by CHA (Continua Health Alliance). While there has been a great amount of similar efforts to build a health monitoring system under ISO/IEEE 11073, Android smart phone systems allow only after ICS version announced in 2012 thus this effort is to enhance the interoperability between HDP and smart phones.
