The scope of this Recommendation is to include a versatile information model and and associated protocol entitled the biology-to-machine (B2M) protocol, a framework for communicating biosignals through biometric interactions using the telebiometrics multimodal model as defined by [ITU-T X.1081], which is a three-layer model combining the science, sensor and metric layers.

The scope is limited to the communication between a medical centre (medical expert facility) and a patient location.

The scope also includes definitions of some information objects to be carried by the protocol. Future editions of this Recommendation and other ITU-T Recommendations and/or international standards may add additional information objects.
