Developing IEEE medical device standards: A case study, wearable cuffless blood pressure measuring devices

This session will provide a brief overview of the IEEE Standards development process from securing sponsorship, submitting the project authorization request (PAR), forming the working group, to drafting the standard. The process continues with the invitation-to-ballot, then the Review Committee evaluation and finally, the Final Vote from the Standards Board. As an example, the session will include a case study with a tutorial presentation on the current work-in-progress IEEE P1708, "Draft Standard for Wearable Cuffless Blood Pressure Measuring Devices."
