Abstract: Recent advances and continuous innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are bringing new opportunities to biomedical engineering and healthcare applications. Their most interesting advantages are being achieved to interoperability of Medical Devices (MDs) and Personal Health Devices (PHDs), and standard-based design focused to the new paradigm of personal health (p-health). These evolutions imply new medical Use Cases (UCs) and new proposals of p-health solutions based on open and interoperable architectures in order to assure robust implementations guidelines. A key challenge is to provide a standard-based design that can be incorporated in a simple way into patient-oriented solutions and the ISO/IEEE11073 (X73) family of standards is the best-positioned international standard to reach this goal.
