2. IEEE802 TG6-ETSI EP eHEALTH LIASON • ETSI EP eHEALTH Meeting #11, Montegrotto, Italy, 22 January 2009 • Liaison Statements from ETSI EP eHEALTH to EC • EP eHELATH in co-operation with ERM TG30 will prepare a joint statement on spectrum regulations for wireless medical communications. • Continua Health Alliance • The agreement has been signed. Refer to: http://webapp.etsi.org/AgreementView/AgreementDetail.asp?AgrID=165 • STF 352 presentation and report • STF Leader Francoise Petersen did a presentation of the status report of STF 352 work (eH11_TD004 and eH11_TD005) by joining a conference call. • A presentation of the status of the ES 202 642 (eH11_TD005) (Personalization of eHealth systems) has been given by the STF representative.

3. IEEE802 TG6-ETSI EP eHEALTH LIASON • Work items (WI): • DTR/eHEALTH-0002: eHealth architecture; User service models and application classification into service models • DTR/eHEALTH-0003: Collection of architectures and service models for eHEALTH • Meeting noted the progress on this WI. • A document from a previous meeting eH10_TD012 (contribution to the work on DTR/eHEALTH-0003) was noted by the meeting. • DTR/eHEALTH-0004: Mapping of use cases and services to telecommunication services • Meeting noted the progress on this WI. • A document from a previous meeting eH10_TD012 (contribution to the work on DTR/eHEALTH-0004) was noted by the meeting • DTR/eHEALTH-0005: Short range radio communication and networking • Meeting noted the progress on this WI.

4. IEEE802 TG6-ETSI EP eHEALTH LIASON400 MHz AND 2.3-2.4 GHz BANDS • The 400MHz spectrumregulations and ETSI standards are clearlyestablished • The 402-405 MHz core band  MICS (Medical Implant Communication systems) isdesignatedonly to Medical Implant and associatedperipheral (ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P) with maximum emission BW of 300kHz and otherrequirements as defined in ETSI Harmonized standard EN 301 839 as attached. No external to external communication isallowed in this band. • The wing bands MEDS 401-402MHz and 405-406MHz isdesignated to ULP-AMI and associated ULP-AMI-P but also to external Body wornDeviceswith a maximum emissionbandwidth of 100kHz. This band coulddefinitelybeused for BAN and BSN assumingyoucomplywithrequirement as described in the ETSI Harmonized Standards EN 302 537 developed for this band.  • 2.3-2.4 MHz band developments concerning the possible reservation of 2.3-2.4 GHz for  eHealth • TG30 members have alreadyevaluatedthis band alreadyincluded in the ETSI publishedTechnical Report TR 102 655. TG30 members are in the opinion that the 2.4835-2.5GHz is the first choice for our type of application as described in the attached TR. John F.M. Gerrits / John R. Farserotu, CSEM
