Abstract
Since the introduction of the ISO/IEEE 11073 personal health device (X73-PHD) standards, as part of ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards, it has been applied to many health systems developed for personal use. In this systematic literature review, we review existing literature collected using three databases: Scopus, Pub Med, and Web of Science. We propose a classification for personal health systems based on the location in which they are used, the technology used to develop them, and the purpose which is determined by the targeted users. We found 51% of the devices used in such systems are standardized while approximately 40% are not and five systems did not specify the device status (9%). Various adaption techniques were used for standardization. Besides, the pulse oximeter is the most used device in such systems since it was used in 43% of them. In addition, we present the role of the X73-PHD standards in the Internet of Things (IoT) and tele-healthcare systems, discuss the challenges of utilizing this set of standards in health monitoring systems and converting the non-standardized devices into standardized ones. Finally, we propose the requirements of personal health systems based on our review of the literature.
