Stollmann Implements Bluetooth for Continua Health Alliance

Stollmann Entwicklungs- und Vertriebs-GmbHStollmann has been one of the first manufacturers in the world to implement the Bluetooth SIG's Health Device Profile (HDP) for medical devices. According to the terms of their cooperative agreement, Stollmann is now making this profile available to the members of the Continua Health Alliance, an organization of the most important global medical device manufacturers. Continua had chosen Stollmann, together with another partner, as technology leader for this project. The Bluetooth HDP was selected by the Continua Health Alliance for the wireless transmission of standard data records pursuant to the IEEE 11073 standard.

Stollmann is the only German manufacturer to participate in the international standardization efforts for the Bluetooth HDP for medical devices. The Bluetooth HDP facilitates the concurrent transmission of multiple data streams, safe wireless data transfer, and the synchronization of medical sensors, thus paving the way for the transmission of patient data for use in remote and local patient monitoring.

While Bluetooth has been integrated in medical devices before, interoperability of devices made by different manufacturers has not been assured to date. The Bluetooth Health Device Profile now fills this gap by providing a standard format for medical data interchange.

Stollmann joined the Continua Health Alliance in May this year. The Alliance has more than 150 members working on application guidelines and interoperability standards for medical devices.
