Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 11073-10471 2011-07 — Health informatics — Personal health device communication — Part 10471: Device specialization — Independent living activity hub. This is the German/EN adoption of the ISO/IEEE 11073-10471 device-specialization standard (originally published as ISO/IEEE 11073-10471:2010) defining a communications profile for independent‑living activity hubs and their managers.

Abstract

Defines a normative communication model and information elements for “independent living activity hubs” — devices that collect, normalize and report inputs from simple situation monitors (binary sensors such as fall, motion, door, bed/chair occupancy, smoke, PERS and similar sensors) to one or more managers (for example phones, PCs, personal health appliances or set‑top boxes). The aim is plug‑and‑play interoperability by specifying terminology, data types, message behaviors and required sensor mappings for assisted‑living and telehealth ecosystems.

General information

• ICS / categories: 35.240.80 (Health informatics / IT applications in health care technology).
• Edition / version: DIN EN ISO adoption (2011) of ISO/IEEE 11073-10471:2010 — first edition (later revised by a subsequent ISO/IEEE edition).
• Number of pages: 63 (DIN EN ISO edition; page counts reported by catalogues of the adoption).

Scope

Specifies the device specialization and information model for independent living activity hubs that interface to simple situation monitors (binary sensors), normalize the inputs and provide a consistent reporting interface to one or more manager devices. The document defines required sensor types and observation semantics for the initial release (e.g., fall sensor, motion sensor, door sensor, bed/chair occupancy sensor, light switch sensor, smoke sensor, ambient temperature threshold sensor, personal emergency response system (PERS), enuresis/bed‑wetting sensor) and the messaging/association behavior needed for interoperable telehealth/assisted‑living deployments.

Key topics and requirements

• Device specialization for Independent Living Activity Hub (ILAH) — formal data model and required attributes.
• Normalization of binary sensor inputs into standardized observation types and codes (use of 11073 nomenclature and term codes).
• List of initially supported simple situation monitors (fall, motion, door, bed/chair occupancy, light switch, smoke, ambient thresholds, PERS, enuresis).
• Association and messaging behavior to support plug‑and‑play manager‑hub relationships (session/association rules, event reporting and notifications).
• Interoperability constraints: restricted optionality and specified formats to reduce ambiguity when integrating hubs with managers and higher‑level systems.
• Requirements for device identifiers, location identifiers and time reporting (foundation for higher‑level event correlation and alarm workflows).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of assisted‑living and home‑monitoring hubs, device integrators, system architects building telehealth/remote‑monitoring solutions, healthcare IT teams responsible for device integration, procurement teams seeking interoperable solutions for assisted‑living facilities, and test laboratories performing conformance/interoperability testing. Clinical groups and service providers using aggregated binary‑sensor feeds to support alarms, activity monitoring and care coordination also rely on the standard’s profiles.

Related standards

Part of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of personal health device communication standards. Closely related parts include ISO/IEEE 11073‑10101 (nomenclature), 10201 (domain information model), device specializations such as 10404 (pulse oximeter), 10407 (blood pressure monitor), 10408 (thermometer), 10415 (weighing scale), 10417 (glucose meter), and application/profile parts (20101, 20601). The 11073 family provides the common terminology, data types and transport/application frameworks that 10471 depends on.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the DIN/EN adoption (DIN EN ISO 11073-10471:2011) of the ISO/IEEE 11073‑10471 device‑specialization standard that defines communication and data semantics for independent‑living activity hubs used in assisted‑living and personal health monitoring.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The standard covers the information model, required observation types, term codes and messaging/association behavior for hubs that collect and normalize inputs from simple situation monitors (binary sensors) and report those normalized observations to one or more manager devices to enable interoperable monitoring and alarm/notification workflows.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Device manufacturers, integrators, system architects and healthcare IT professionals building or integrating assisted‑living/home‑monitoring solutions; test houses and conformity assessors; and procurement or clinical teams requiring interoperable sensor/hub solutions.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The DIN EN ISO 11073-10471:2011 adoption (reflecting the ISO/IEEE 2010 edition) is reported as withdrawn in national catalogues for the German adoption. The ISO/IEEE work on 11073‑10471 has continued and a revised edition (ISO/IEEE 11073‑10471) was published in a later edition (documented updates and a 2024 edition are available), so implementers should reference the latest ISO/IEEE edition for current normative requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one device‑specialization part of the broader ISO/IEEE 11073 series for personal health device communication; the family includes nomenclature, information models, other device specializations and application/profile parts that together enable device interoperability.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Independent living activity hub, personal health device, assisted living, binary sensor, PERS, interoperability, ISO/IEEE 11073, device specialization, plug‑and‑play, normalization.
