The proposed System Reference Architecture is designed to create common interfaces and operational standards for devices, personal services, and applications to provide affordable and simple to use "Whole Healthcare".

The Common Reference Architecture and Standards provides a number of Common Design, Development, Test, Documentation, Interface, Interoperability, Functionality, Training, Marketing, and Support Capabilities. These common capabilities can be leveraged across new development to reduce costs, have a quicker time-to-market, and increase the capabilities and features of new products. For existing products there are capabilities to incorporate some of the features, or use SW/HW gateways to supply full or partial compliance with the System.

With the exception of some key “glue” components, the System is modular with each component able to be selected or rejected, defined, scaled, and has its own roadmap.  Even the key “glue’ components, they can also be scaled and have their own roadmaps.

The System relies on common PCs, Tablets, and Smart Phones for most of the user interfaces, with a common look and feel, and incorporates a number of visual, audio, and wireless machine interfaces to help perform tasks, record data, and reduce mistakes. This reduces costs and training, and allows tasks to be performed by less skilled individuals.

System Packaging is also a key element. Since the different pieces are interoperable, they can be put in a wide number of marketable high-volume packages to support many different end-user applications. This also makes it future proof, where new applications, services, and devices that follow the standard, can be added or replace an item in the System.
