Where we are now
• Fragmentation• Data models• Connectivity• Platforms
• Micro Interoperability• Closed platforms• Walled Gardens
• Explosive Growth• Bluetooth LE• Smartphones• Applications
• Remote Care• Growing demand• Reimbursement

More than a Standard
The Continua Design Guidelines (CDG) define a framework of underlying standards and criteria required to ensure the interoperability of components used for applications monitoring personal health and wellness.
They also contain design guidelines that further clarify the underlying standards or specifications by reducing options or by adding a missing feature to improve interoperability
NOTE: we also fix the underlying standards (e.g., Bluetooth handling of time, pairing, connection, security)

Standards Landscape covered by CDG

Built on a Strong Foundation
• Generic model for Personal Health data from devices to services
• Well-defined nomenclature
• Generic application protocol enabling efficient transmission
• Self-descriptiveness (via ASN.1)
• Other characteristics/advantages
• Alignment with other healthcare standard organizations
• Regulatory recognition (US FDA)
• Wealth of domain knowledge

What We Have Built!

Flexible E2E Architecture

10 Years [is/is not] a long time
• Interfaces created and evolved to meet market demand• USB / ZigBee / NFC / WiFi / Bluetooth• SOAP/PCD-01/hl7 2.6, • RestFul HTTP hData/PCD-01/HL7 2.6, • RestFul HTTP HL7 FHIR • PHMR XDR/CDA/HL7 3.0, • PHMR XDM/CDA/HL7 3.0 or DIRECT.
• Interfaces are transport agnostic based on TCP/IP…

5G & Healthcare
• Ericsson released a report in June on the critical role of 5G in healthcare transformation
• Key findings:• Healthcare becomes decentralized• moving from hospitals towards homes• patient data is centralized• turning hospitals into data centres
• Increasing dependence on wearables and remote treatments makes 5G essential to provide reliable and secure services.

5G & Healthcare - Challenges
• The advent of 5G-enabled devices raises a familiar challenge• Bluetooth LE -> transcoding to 11073 via gateway• Gateway uploads PCD-01 via secure services interface
• With an added twist• There is likely no gateway to transcode | upload• There is likely no TCP/IP or HTTP• Efficiency requirements limiting data model
11
5G & Healthcare – Next Steps
• Now is the time to ensure a strong foundation is built upon• Reduce (eliminate?) fragmentation• Drive interoperability by design

Published annually, PCHAlliance’s Continua Design Guidelines define a flexible framework for user friendly end-to-end interoperability of personal connected health devices and systems. Continua certified products bear the globally recognized Continua logo, which signals market-readiness for 21st century health data exchange. The Guidelines are recognized as an international standard by the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) and available for free in six languages.
PCHAlliance’s flagship event, the Connected Health Conference, is the premier international conference and expo for the exchange of research, evidence, ideas, innovations and opportunities in connected health. Formerly the mHealth Summit, and now in its ninth year, the event features industry-leading keynote presentations, dynamic programming, poster presentations, an interactive exhibit floor, and high-value networking sessions. www.ConnectedHealthConf.org
