Data Standards – Digital Medicine Society (DiMe)

Every data ecosystem needs a common language and a shared approach to distributing, storing, and interpreting information. Following sensor data standards that protect patients and enable data exchange is essential. By embracing standards, we ensure that we’re using sensor data that is accessible, relevant, and trustworthy (ART).

Start differentiating your products and the data they generate by building to the appropriate standards. Discern between products and solutions to identify those that meet your needs. We’ve designed our interactive Landscape of Standards to help guide you as you think about how your data can be collected, stored, adapted, safeguarded, or retrieved for clinical decision-making in health care and research.

Interactive Landscape of Standards

Access all of the standards relevant to sensor data integrations in this interactive landscape tool so you can start deploying them in your work today.

After reviewing the standards that apply to your digital sensing products and the data they generate, check out other resources to support you as you implement these standards.
