Summary

Recommendation ITU-T H.862.0 specifies requirements and a framework for information and communication technology (ICT) sleep management services. The scope of Recommendation ITU-T H.862.0 focuses on the reference model of the sleep management service and introduces sleep safety services and sleep quality improvement services.

Solutions exist for sleep-monitoring and sleep status check services that use a variety of sensors and technologies. While they lead to quantitative expansion of sleep management services, they are difficult to integrate into one service due to the different sleep visualization methods that vary across service devices. To address these challenges, approaches are proposed to ensure interoperability by expressing various types of sleep data in an integrated process. Recommendation ITU-T H.862.0 specifies a service model and requirements for sleep-monitoring and sleep status check services to ensure interoperability of sleep management services.
