Abstract: Digital Health technologies and their data potentially offer significant opportunities for health management, with both individuals and health research. Research areas includes pharmaceutical trials, medical studies, public health programs, pandemic response, and consumer health product evaluation. With suitably organized and maintained health data generated by a consumer or home Digital Health devices combined with medical records from other sources greatly enables these opportunities. This talk discusses a practical approach to organizing and managing this data with standards and requirements. The organization includes a data management framework where requirements can be specified. The talk is not an in-depth study of existing public health systems or medical record systems. The objective is to consider a practical strategy to develop these requirements with both the medical, engineering, and regular communities.
