This standard establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth insulin
pump devices (agents) 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 work done in other
ISO/IEEE 11073 standards including existing terminology, information profiles, application profile
standards, and transport standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in
telehealth environments, restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This
standard defines a common core functionality of personal telehealth insulin pump devices.
In the context of personal health devices (PHDs), an insulin pump is a medical device used for the
administration of insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous
insulin infusion (CSII) therapy. This standard provides the data modeling according to ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 and does not specify the measurement method.
