Summary

The Continua Design Guidelines (CDG) define a framework of underlying standards and criteria which are required to ensure the interoperability of devices and data used for personal connected health. It also contains additional design guidelines for interoperability that further clarify or reduce the options in underlying standards or specifications, or by adding a feature missing in an underlying standard or specification.

This specification defines the design guidelines for the Observation upload certified capability class (CCC), whose function is to transfer an observation measurement from the medical device to a Services application over the wide area network (Services).

This Recommendation is part of the "ITU-T H.810 interoperability design guidelines for personal health systems" subseries, which is outlined in the table below:
