Summary

The Continua Design Guidelines (CDG) define a framework of underlying standards and criteria that are required to ensure the interoperability of devices and data used for personal connected health. They also contain design guidelines (DGs) that further clarify the underlying standards or specifications by reducing options or by adding missing features to improve interoperability.

This specification defines the additional design guidelines for the Authenticated persistent session CDC (APS), whose function is to provide a secure, long-lived, persistent bidirectional data channel between the WAN application and an AHD application, suitable for sending unsolicited commands to the AHD or to devices connected via the AHD.

Recommendation ITU-T H.812.4 is part of the "ITU-T H.810 interoperability design guidelines for personal health systems" subseries, which is outlined in the table below:
