1 Definition
AIH Data Processing Types primarily serve to express inference of an individual’s health state. An AIH Data Processing Type identifies the kind of health state inferred from health data as a result of processing. The taxonomy applies to health data including behavioural, clinical, biological (omics), imaging, neurophysiological, and physiological data.
2 Functional Requirements
The Health Processing Type Taxonomy shall:
- Provide unique, stable identifiers for health‑semantic processing types.
- Describe processing in terms of health state inference, not computation methods.
- Support both:
- data‑type‑independent health inferences, and
- data‑type‑specific health inferences where medically meaningful.
- Enable TFA components to:
- declare which health inferences they perform,
- declare which health inferences they support,
- document which health inferences have been applied to data.
- Support extension with new processing types without breaking existing implementations.
- Provide identifiers that are:
- human‑readable,
- machine‑processable,
- version‑stable.
- Provide a single authoritative namespace for health processing type identifiers within TFA.
