BEAVERTON, OR – Hoping to drive more "plug-and-play" connectivity of personal health technologies, Continua Health Alliance has made available its most recent design guidelines as a free download for device vendors.
The design guidelines, called Adrenaline, aim to help technology developers build end-to-end systems more efficiently and cost-effectively by facilitating connectivity between personal connected health products such as smartphones, gateways and remote monitoring devices. They were previously available only to Continua members during interoperability testing.
He added that the guidelines are meant to "decrease time-to-market and reduce development costs, further supporting the widespread adoption of personal connected health solutions.”
Continua also announced new guidlines for its members. Called Catalyst, and currently undergoing interoperatbility testing, officials say they incorporate Bluetooth Smart, the low energy technology at the heart of the Bluetooth v4.0 specification. The low power consumption, security and stability of Bluetooth Smart products makes them well-suited for health and fitness devices; monitoring systems for vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and temperature; or on-body sensors. Continua plans to publicly release these guidelines at no cost later this year.
