AMA’s integrated health model initiative launches first data model

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Integrated Health Model Initiative (IHMI), a collaborative effort founded by the American Medical Association (AMA) to lead solutions for improving, organizing and exchanging health data, announced today the development of a new data model to manage an uninterrupted stream of data from innovative devices that remotely monitor blood pressure.

The Self-Measured Blood Pressure Data Model was created by IHMI’s first collaboration between the health and technology sectors to tap into important health information that has often gone uncollected, unanalyzed, or unshared, opening potential to improve health outcomes. This successful collaboration has helped speed product integration as the first medical technology companies have adopted the IHMI data model for use in the field.
