Health informatics - Device interoperability - Part 10472: Personal Health Device Communication - Device Specialization - Medication Monitor (ISO/IEEE 11073-10472:2024)

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of the communication between medication monitoring devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing standards, including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models and application profile. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting ambiguity in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This standard defines a common core of communication functionality for medication monitors. In this context, medication monitors are defined as devices that have the ability to determine and communicate (to a manager) measures of a user’s adherence to a medication regime.

Overview

EN ISO/IEEE 11073-10472:2025 defines a normative communication profile for personal health device medication monitors to enable plug-and-play device interoperability with managers such as cell phones, PCs, personal health appliances and set‑top boxes. Within the ISO/IEEE 11073 family, this device specialization specifies the common core of communication functionality, leverages existing terminology, information models and transport/application profiles, and reduces optionality in base frameworks to improve interoperability in telehealth environments. The second edition adds features such as Base‑Offset‑Time support and updated association and configuration rules.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Normative communication definition between medication monitors and managers for reliable device communication.
• Use of standardized ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models and application profile elements to avoid ambiguity.
• Specification of term codes, formats and behaviors required for medication adherence data exchange (restricting optionality to favour interoperability).
• Support for Base‑Offset‑Time and updated standard configurations based on it.
• Updated association details, qualifier recommendations (e.g., for MDS/DIM objects) and rules for DIM extensibility.
• Compliance and alignment with other parts of the 11073 family and related standards to ensure consistent semantics and protocol behavior.
• Examples and conformance guidance to assist implementation in telehealth scenarios.

Applications

This standard is directly applicable to implementations where medication adherence data must be collected, exchanged and interpreted across devices and software:

• Home and remote monitoring systems for medication adherence.
• Mobile health apps and gateways that receive data from smart pill dispensers, connected medication monitors and adherence sensors.
• Telehealth platforms and personal health management systems integrating adherence metrics into clinical workflows.
• Clinical trials and research where standardized, interoperable adherence data are required.
• Pharmacy services and care coordination platforms that aggregate patient medication-use data.

Who should use this standard

• Medical device manufacturers building medication monitors and connected adherence devices.
• Firmware and embedded software developers implementing the 11073 device stack.
• Mobile app and telehealth platform developers integrating personal health device data.
• Systems integrators, interoperability architects and healthcare IT vendors.
• Standards and regulatory professionals assessing conformance and device interoperability.

Related standards

• ISO/IEEE 11073 series (device communication and information models)
• ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 and IEEE Std 11073-10101 (protocol and nomenclature foundations)
• Other ISO/IEEE 11073 device specialization parts (11073-104xx)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of
ISO document should be noted (see www.iso.org/directives).
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards
through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which
brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product.
Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE
administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the
IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its
standards.
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights
in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a) patent(s)
which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not
represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Abstract: Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, a
normative definition of communication between personal telehealth medication monitor devices and
compute engines (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) is
established by this standard in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. Appropriate portions of
existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards,
and transport standards are leveraged. The use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth
environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability are specified. A common
core of communication functionality for personal telehealth medication monitor devices is defined in this
standard.

Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership
affiliation with IEEE or IEEE SA. However, IEEE does not provide interpretations, consulting information, or advice
pertaining to IEEE Standards documents.
Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting
comments. Since IEEE standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important that any responses to comments
and questions also receive the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its Societies and
subcommittees of the IEEE SA Board of Governors are not able to provide an instant response to comments, or questions except
in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not respond to interpretation
requests. Any person who would like to participate in evaluating comments or in revisions to an IEEE standard is welcome to
join the relevant IEEE working group. You can indicate interest in a working group using the Interests tab in the Manage Profile
& Interests area of the IEEE SA myProject system. An IEEE Account is needed to access the application.
Comments on standards should be submitted using the Contact Us form.
Laws and regulations
Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the provisions of any
IEEE Standards document does not constitute compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements. Implementers of the
standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication
of its standards, intend to urge action that is not in compliance with applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed
as doing so.
Data privacy
Users of IEEE Standards documents should evaluate the standards for considerations of data privacy and data ownership in the
context of assessing and using the standards in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope
of Patents Claims, or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter
of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly
advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own
responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Technologies, application of technologies, and recommended procedures in various industries evolve over time. The IEEE
standards development process allows participants to review developments in industries, technologies, and practices, and to
determine what, if any, updates should be made to the IEEE standard. During this evolution, the technologies and
recommendations in IEEE standards may be implemented in ways not foreseen during the standard’s development. IEEE
standards development activities consider research and information presented to the standards development group in developing
any safety recommendations. Other information about safety practices, changes in technology or technology implementation, or
impact by peripheral systems also may be pertinent to safety considerations during implementation of the standard.
Implementers and users of IEEE Standards documents are responsible for determining and complying with all appropriate safety,
security, environmental, health, and interference protection practices and all applicable laws and regulations.

Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10472-2023, IEEE Standard for Health Informatics—Device Interoperability—Part 10472:
Personal Health Device Communication—Device Specialization—Medication Monitor.
ISO/IEEE 11073 standards enable communication between medical devices and external computer systems. Within the context
of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of the
communication between medication monitoring devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health
appliances, set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing
standards, including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology and information models. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats,
and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting ambiguity in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This standard
defines a common core of communication functionality for medication monitors. In this context, medication monitors are
defined as devices that have the ability to determine and communicate (to a manager) measures of a user’s adherence to a
medication regime.
