Home TAHI Interoperability Framework Initiative that concentrates on
interoperability to define a framework that will support the integration,
delivery, use and payment for the applications and services provided;
The architecture presented by the PERSONA project, which builds on results
of four earlier EU projects. The architecture covers basic topics like bus
systems for communications, service building blocks and ontologies;
•
CONTINUA that concentrates on the interoperability of health and fitness
devices and the communication with application hosting devices in home
(later also mobile) and services on the Internet, using existing standards like
IEEE 11073 and harmonized with NCCLS/CLSI, HL7, CEN, TC251, ISO
TC215, and IHE.

To solve the issue of interoperability, it might be useful for there to be an
organization that is responsible for Certification of AAL devices and services. Such a
certificate would guarantee the interoperability of subsystems and to allow a plug-and-
play installation.
