隨著健康觀念的提高，以及高齡人口的趨勢，醫療器材具有通訊功能成為重要的趨勢。舊有的醫療器材大多為封閉系統。該醫療器材僅能與可搭配之閘道器及後端伺服系統銜接。Continua採用ISO/IEEE 11073做為個人化醫療器材通訊標準，使得醫療器材之間具有互通性，資訊亦能夠互相分享。目前符合國際通訊標準之醫療器材，多半為USB PHDC，Bluetooth HDP，以及ZigBee HC等介面。藍芽協會提出新一代技術：藍芽低功耗，其耗電量比傳統藍芽更小，有機會用於傳送資料量不大的個人化照護設備。本研究所提之Continua BLE血糖計是基於TI BLE CC2540/41所設計，並且符合Continua design guidelines及ISO/IEEE 11073醫療器材標準規範。Continua BLE血糖計感測使用者之血糖生理量測資訊，並且將此些資訊轉換成符合Bluetooth GATT為主之資訊格式。透過Continua BLE血糖計之藍芽低功耗介面，將此些標準化之生理資訊傳送到服務閘道器及後端伺服系統。根據實驗結果，使用者能成功地透過Bluetooth介面，傳送血糖生理量測值到任何Continua認證之應用伺服主機。

With the increase of health concept and the threat of aging population, medical device with communication ability becomes important functionality. Old healthcare facilities were private communication systems. These medical devices only connect to the specifi c gateway and server. The ISO/IEEE 11073 specifi cations adopted by the Continua Health Alliance are the international personal healthcare device communication standards. By these standards, the medical devices can intercommunication and exchange measurement data within a single system. The transport interfaces supported by international communication standards are USB PHDC, Bluetooth HDP, and ZigBee HC. Current the Bluetooth SIG proposes the Bluetooth LE technology with power consumption than traditional Bluetooth. The Bluetooth LE is possible used in medical devices with low data transmission. The design for the Continua BLE Glucose meter proposed in this paper is based on the TI BLE CC2540/41 chipset as well as the Continua Design Guidelines and ISO/IEEE 11073 Personal Health Device standard. The Continua BLE Glucose meter senses the glucose measurements from the users, and then transmits these data to the application hosting device and server in compliance with Bluetooth GATT-based data format and protocol standards via the Bluetooth Low Energy interface. Based on the testing results, users can transmit glucose measurement to any application hosting device certifi ed by the Continua Health Alliance over the Bluetooth LE interface successfully.
