scope:

The scope of this Recommendation includes:

- A classification of e-health services in the Internet of things (IoT)

- A non-exhaustive set of non-functional performance evaluation factors (interoperability, usability, security) applicable to e-health systems in the IoT

- A performance evaluation framework for e-health systems in the IoT

The scope of this Recommendation excludes the detailed technical requirements and capabilities of the e-health systems in general health care services.

This Recommendation does not include any regulatory requirements.

This Recommendation does not prescribe a specific evaluation methodology. It intentionally provides sufficient flexibility for the practitioner to combine one or more performance evaluation factors specified in this Recommendation.

The performance evaluation frameworks for generic e-health systems are also beyond the scope of this Recommendation.
