Health and Wellness Management Solution Through Android
In today's connected world, the use of smartphones and tablets to monitor patients outside the hospital is becoming increasingly common. A report by Parks Associates estimates that revenue from digital health technology and services would exceed $5.7 billion in 2015 in the United States alone, compared with $1.7 billion in 2010.
Wind River Solution Accelerator for Android, Medical implements a system of interoperable connected health solutions on top of the Android platform. Following the Continua Health Alliance guidelines, Wind River Solution Accelerator for Android, Medical provides the opportunity for device manufacturers and service providers to efficiently build and deliver a truly personalized, interoperable, and compliant health and wellness management solution at a controllable cost.
Support for the Continua Health Alliance Specification for Information Exchange
IEEE 11073 is the first open standard that "addresses a need for an openly defined, independent standard for converting the information profile (of personal health devices) into an interoperable transmission format so the information can be exchanged to and from personal telemedicine devices and computer engines." The Continua Health Alliance specifies using IEEE 11073 as the format for information exchange between personal health devices such as weighing scales, blood pressure monitors, and blood glucose monitors.
Compliant devices, whether they are smartphones, personal computers, tablet computers, personal health appliances, or set-top boxes, can readily exchange information with each other. This standard is incorporated into Wind River Solution Accelerator for Android, Medical and allows all devices running it to communicate seamlessly with each other, delivering patient health information quickly where it is needed.
Wind River Solution Accelerator for Android, Medical supports the IEEE 11073 stack and can work with 11073-104xx sensor devices including the following:
- IEEE 11073-10404 pulse oximeter
- IEEE 11073-10406 heart rate monitor (pulse)
- IEEE 11073-10407 blood pressure monitor
- IEEE 11073-10408 thermometer
- IEEE 11073-10415 weighing scale
- IEEE 11073-10417 glucose meter
- IEEE 11073-10441 cardiovascular monitor
- IEEE 11073-10442 strength monitor
- IEEE 11073-10471 activity data monitor
- IEEE 11073-10472 medication monitor
