HL7 (Health Level 7) is a standard developed for exchanging incompatible healthcare information generated from programs or devices among heterogenous medical information systems. At present, HL7 is growing as a global standard. However, the HL7 standard does not support effective methods for treating data from various medical sensors, especially from mobile sensors. As ubiquitous systems are growing, HL7 must communicate with various medical transducers. In the area of sensor fields, IEEE 1451 is a group of standards for controlling transducers and for communicating data from/to various transducers. In this paper, we present the possibility of interoperability between the two standards, i.e., HL7 and IEEE 1451. After we present a method to integrate them and show the preliminary results of this approach.
HL7(Health Level 7)是一个为在异构医疗信息系统中交换来自程序或设备的不兼容医疗信息而开发的标准。目前,HL7 正在发展成为一个全球标准。然而,HL7 标准不支持从各种医疗传感器(特别是移动传感器)中处理数据的有效方法。随着普及系统的发展,HL7 必须与各种医疗换能器进行通信。在传感器领域,IEEE 1451 是一组用于控制换能器和从各种换能器中通信数据的标准。在本文中,我们提出了这两个标准,即 HL7 和 IEEE 1451 之间互操作性的可能性。在提出一种集成它们的方法并展示该方法的初步结果之后。
