| Title | Observation – Blood Glucose Measurement |
| Description | Profile for capturing blood glucose measurements as FHIR Observation resources.
This profile defines the exchange of a single measurement data for the Mandatory Interoperable Value (MIV) \"Blood Glucose Measurement\" which is technically defined
by the ValueSet _hddt-miv-blood-glucose-measurement_. This MIV is e.g. implemented by blood glucose meter (glucometer) that can connect to
a Personal Health Gateway (e.g. a mobile app for keeping diabetes diary) through wireless or wired communication.
**Obligations and Conventions:**
Each Blood Glucose Measurement MUST either hold a reference to a _Sensor Type And Calibration Status_ [DeviceMetric](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/devicemetric.html) resource or to a
_Personal Health Device_ [Device](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/device.html) resource (eXclusive OR). A reference to _Sensor Type And Calibration Status_ MUST be provided
from the Observation resource if the sensor for measuring blood glucose needs to be calibrated (either automatically or by the user)
or if the sensor may change its calibration status over time.
**Constraints applied:**
- `status` is restricted to _final_
- `code` is constrained to the ValueSet that represents the MIV _Blood Glucose Measurement_
- `effective[x]` is restricted to `effectiveDateTime` and constrained as mandatory.
- `value[x]` is restricted to `valueQuantity`. The elements `valueQuantity.value`, `valueQuantity.system`, and `valueQuantity.code` are constrained in a way that a value MUST be provided and that UCUM MUST be used for encoding the unit of measurement. `Observation.valueQuantity` MAY only be omitted in case of an error that accured with the measurement. In this case, `Observation.dataAbsentReason` MUST be provided.
- `device` is set to be mandatory in order to provide the DiGA with information about the sensor's calibration status and with information about the static and dynamic attributes of the Personal Health Device. |
