　　To help ensure that all of the varied devices can talk to each other， the Continua Health Alliance （henceforth referred to as Continua）， a non-profit， open-industry organization of healthcare and technology companies with over 200 members worldwide is dedicated to establishing a system of interoperable， personal， connected-health solutions that will foster independence and empower individuals while providing the opportunity for truly personalized health and wellness management.

　　One Continua goal is to establish systems of interoperable telehealth devices and services in three major categories： chronic disease management， independent aging， and health and physical fitness. Design guidelines published by Continua are based on proven connectivity technical standards and include Bluetooth for wireless and USB for wired device connections. Version 1 of the guidelines was released to the public in June 2009， and an updated set of guidelines， Version 2， will soon be released.
