What does HTP mean in HEALTHCARE

HTP stands for Health Thermometer Profile. It is a Bluetooth-based medical device profile originally created by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) to allow healthcare providers and users to exchange vital health data such as body temperature.

Using HTP provides a secure, real-time connection between patients and their healthcare providers. This makes it easier to get and share health information quickly, which can lead to better patient outcomes and improved quality of care. Additionally, it reduces the need for manual tracking of vital sign data in clinics or hospitals.

The following occurs when two devices using HTP connect via Bluetooth: 1) The two devices establish a secure connection; 2) Data from the thermometer device is transmitted over the Bluetooth connection; 3) The receiving device processes this data in accordance with BT SIG standards; 4) The processed results are displayed on the receiving device's user interface; 5) Users can view, store or forward this data as needed.

Yes, HTP is compatible with most types of thermometers including digital ones that measure temperature electronically and infrared thermometers which use IR radiation to measure temperatures at various depths within objects.

Yes, HTP uses various technologies such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), GATT (Generic Attribute Profiles), SP (Security Protocols), ATT (Attribute protocol) and a number or others in order to ensure secure transfer of data between two devices supporting this profile.
