Topic: Smartwatch to FHIR

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create converter from smartwatch data (assuming at this point its gonna be csv) like pulse, hearth rate and maybe some sleep data to FHIR Resources and I've been wondering:
- Is there any popular IG for such purpose? I've seen Open mHealth IG but I'm not sure if this is not outdated?
- In the Open mHealth IG I think they use some kind of middleman when converting to fhir, flow seems to be like this: data -> OmH (the middleman) -> FHIR. I couldn't find any example where the data was converted straight to resources without any changes in the middle, if i know the structure of data is it okay to map it straight to FHIR? I don't really understand the purpose of any middleman here...
Thanks in advance!
Lukas

There is a group, Devices on FHIR that addresses this space of "personal health care devices". They also have relationships and coordinate efforts with IEEE, IHE and PCHA (Personal Connected Health Alliance).

(and there is probably a Zulip channel for this.). - yes, #devices

OMHhealth has shims for converting to OMH format. Using something Granola. You can then convert from open mHealth to FHIR from there using the guidance in omh to FHIR.
