Summary

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

ITU-T H.812 contains an overview of the Services interface (Services-IF), common design guidelines for all Services-IF Certified Capability Classes (CCC) and the design guidelines for Consent Enabled Personal Health Gateway (PHG) and Services CCCs.

The design guidelines which support the following Certified Capability Classes (CCC) are defined in separate guidelines documents, as follows:

– Observation Upload capability in ITU-T H.812.1 (2017)

– Questionnaire capability in ITU-T H.812.2 (2017)

– Capability Exchange capability in ITU-T H.812.3 (2017)

– Authenticated Persistent Session capability in ITU-T H.812.4(2017)
