Personal Connected Health (PCH) Program�Devices Domain Joint Session�

Javier Espina (Philips) – co-Chair

Thom Erickson (HIMSS) Open – co-Chair

Since last DEV F2F…

Since the Arlington F2F last September, the PCH Program has virtually met almost monthly.

​

Lately PCH has been in "semi-hibernation" mode, mostly keeping alignment with the developments at IEEE 11073 PHD WG, Bluetooth SIG's Med WG and HL7 Devices WG, as well as considering possible future work on IHE profiles.

Noteworthy projects of other groups:

• Bluetooth GHS Design and Implementation Guide - completed in March
• HL7 FHIR Personal Health Device Implementation Guide (PHD IG) revision - kicked off in January 2024

​

More likely future DEV PCH profiles:

• HL7 FHIR-based Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) & PGHD/Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) Linking - awaiting a project in the Nordics to drive work
• ACOM (IEEE 11073-10206) and the Bluetooth GHS-based data reporting into the HL7 FHIR-based IT ecosystem – only if still needed after finalization of the 2024 update to the HL7 FHIR PHD IG
