Elements

HealthMeasurement
This is not an extension of Measurement. It is simply used to include additional data of relevance for Measurements related to health. Property names may vary in the implementation.
PersonWeight
Ontological representation of the measurement of a Person's weight (not intended for arbitrary weights). Its value Unit is currently restricted to Kilograms (Unit: gram, Prefix: Kilo) and the value is represented as a Float.
BloodPressure
Ontological representation of the measurement of a Person's Blood Pressure. Notice it does not extend Measurement. This is because it is a composite of 2 different measurements: Diastolic and Systolic pressure. Each is represented as a property of type Measurement. In both cases this measurement has a Float value with Units in "mm Hg".
BloodOxygenSaturation
Ontological representation of the measurement of a Person's Blood Oxygen Saturation. Its value is understood as a percentage and has an adimensional Unit "%SpO2"
HeartRate
Ontological representation of the measurement of a Person's Heart Rate. Its value is represented by an Integer and the Unit is denominated "BPM" (Beats per minute), represented as a DividedUnit (Unity divided by minute).
HeartRateSignal
A collection of HeartRate measurements separated by a constant period of time. Used to represent "continuous" measurements. The property "measurements" of the Signal is restricted to HeartRate type.
