Summary

Recommendation ITU-T H.850.5 provides a test suite structure (TSS) and the test purposes (TP) for the transcoding of weighing scales data by personal health gateways in the Personal Health Devices (PHD) interface of application-level data between the Bluetooth Low Energy Bluetooth Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) format and the IEEE 11073-20601 data format, of which Recommendation ITU‑T H.810 (2016) is the base Recommendation. The objective of this test specification is to provide a high probability of interoperability at this interface.

Recommendation ITU-T H.850.5 is a transposition of clause 3.7 of Continua Test Tool DG2016, Test Suite Structure & Test Purposes, Personal Health Devices Interface; Part 10: PHD Transcoding Whitepaper. Personal Health Gateway (Version 1.7, 2017-07-18), that was developed by the Personal Connected Health Alliance. A number of versions of this specification existed before transposition.

This Recommendation includes an electronic attachment with the protocol implementation conformance statements (PICS) and the protocol implementation extra information for testing (PIXIT) required for the implementation of Annex A.

This Recommendation is part of ITU-T H.850 that was originally approved in 04/2017 as a single part, but which was split at publication time into eight sub-parts for easier use, maintenance and expandability:

–           ITU-T H.850 with the general requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.1 with thermometer PHD requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.2 with blood pressure PHD requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.3 with heart rate PHD requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.4 with glucose meter PHD requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.5 with weighing scales PHD requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.6 with pulse oximeter PHD requirements;

–           ITU-T H.850.7 with continuous glucose monitoring PHD requirements.
