First Year Progress Report
• Continua has selected use cases, interfaces, and standards, for our Version One Guidelines. Completion of Version One Guidelines is scheduled for first quarter 2008 (USB, Bluetooth, ISO/IEEE, HL7)
• Continua Test and Certification program will provide membership with rights to use Continua certification mark for products that meet the Version One Guidelines (first quarter 2008)
• Reimbursement is a significant barrier to the personal telehealth industry. Continua is actively seeking to reduce this barrier and is working with Abt Associates, a research firm, to develop a definitive collection of worldwide remote patient monitoring trial data.
