New to the Healthcare Technologies online network? What made you join? How are you involved in the area of Healthcare Technologies? Introduce yourself here!
A small update from me. I've been in and around the eHealth domain, through standardisation at ETSI primarily, for a fairly long time and there has been some recent activity that you may not be aware of.
First off is the publication of ETSI's White Paper on eHealth: "The argument in favour of eHealth standardization in ETSI", available from https://www.etsi.org/images/files/ETSIWhitePapers/etsi_wp29_ehealth_standardization_FINAL.pdf Whilst I am the primary author I think this presents a good argument for why the future of health care, in particular global interoperable health care, has to be standards based.
Following on from this is a lot of work, also in the standards domain, on health related devices. In particular the work in "Body Area Networks" where the connectivity of sensors (health sensors especially) are connected. This is then hooked into the wider world through the SAREF ontology to give a high assurance of semantic interoperability (in other words knowing I am connecting to a blood flow sensor and not a gas flow sensor). I'd encourage members of the IET Health group to join in the work of ETSI in these areas.
eHealth, SmartBAN, SmartM2M, oneM2M and so forth. Further details at ETSI's sites (https://www.etsi.org and https://portal.etsi.org)
