  text: 'Background: Standards have become available to share semantically encoded
    vital parameters from medical devices, as required for example by personal healthcare
    records. Standardised sharing of biosignal data largely remains open. Objectives:
    The goal of this work is to explore available biosignal file format and data exchange
    standards and profiles, and to conceptualise end-To-end solutions. Methods: The
    authors reviewed and discussed available biosignal file format standards with
    other members of international standards development organisations (SDOs). Results:
    A raw concept for standards based acquisition, storage, archiving and sharing
    of biosignals was developed. The GDF format may serve for storing biosignals.
    Signals can then be shared using FHIR resources and may be stored on FHIR servers
    or in DICOM archives, with DICOM waveforms as one possible format. Conclusion:
    Currently a group of international SDOs (e.g. HL7, IHE, DICOM, IEEE) is engaged
    in intensive discussions. This discussion extends existing work that already was
    adopted by large implementer communities. The concept presented here only reports
    the current status of the discussion in Austria. The discussion will continue
    internationally, with results to be expected over the coming years.'
