BHQ国際標準化

BHQは、国連に所属する国際標準化機関ITU-Tの勧告文書H.861として承認された「健康に関連する状態を示す脳の物理的特性を表す数値指標」(下図、2018年3月)

健康に関連する状態を示す脳の物理的特性を表す数値指標

brain healthcare quotient[ITU-TH.861.0]:
A numerica indicator reqresenting physical characteristics of the brain that are pureported to be indicative of some state of a health related condition.

要約

H.861.1勧告では、脳の健康状態の情報共有を目指した、BHQと呼ばれるニューロイメージングによって導出された指数について記載する。特に指数の作成方法や定義、計算方法、さらに、BHQの利用方法についても記載する。これらにより非専門家にも利用可能とし、人々の活力あふれる生活を実現する。

Summary

Recommendation ITU-T H.861.1
describes healthcare indices derived from neuroimaging analysis that are called brain healthcare quotients(BHQs), intended to be used for facilitating the communication of information about brain status. It describesth requirements on how such an index is created and also how some concrete BHQs can be defined and calculated. This Recommendation aslo includes examples of services using BHQs to better monitor health for supporting active and alert living. By its defining requirements, BHQs are linked to various healthcare aspects of human life and can be used to improve lifestyles. It gives standardized measurements and indices of brain conditions for specialists and non-specialists.
