Abstract :
Interoperability and standardisation issues in community telecare differ from those pertaining to telemedicine and are examined with reference to older persons care. Issues discussed include devices, network transition, data characterisation, communication, data exchange, presentation, standards, protocols and certification (including IEEE 1107, ZigBee health Care, paSOS and the Continua Alliance). Standard requirements are reviewed and recommendations made, and FuTuRE, an open source telecare framework, is proposed.
