Ultimately, the value of any innovation depends on implementation and consumption. Indeed, a plethora of devices and applications, some converging from the consumer electronics world, are coming onto the market and are being recommended by doctors and health insurers to help us all monitor our health and wellness. New technologies and systems have the potential to play key roles in future healthcare solutions. However, their full benefit can only be realized if they are interoperable - that is, if a device from one vendor works easily and seamlessly with other applications. In this perspective, standardization is an important means of achieving interoperability in technology. The upcoming online forum about eHealth and standards on February 25th, 4-8 pm GMT on www.talkstandards.com will raise some of these points and hopefully contribute interesting insight into this fast moving sector.
