This profile defines the exchange of blood pressure value data for the Mandatory Interoperable Value (MIV) \"Blood Pressure Monitoring\" which is technically defined by the ValueSet _hddt-miv-blood-pressure-value_. This MIV is e.g. implemented by automated sphygmomanometers (oszillometric, auscultatory) that can connect to a Personal Health Gateway (e.g. a mobile app for tracking blood pressure values) through wireless communication. Blood pressure measurements consist of multiple components: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and optionally mean blood pressure. This profile uses the LOINC panel code #85354-9 "Blood pressure panel with all children optional" defined in the MIV _hddt-miv-blood-pressure-value_ to represent the complete measurement. **Obligations and Conventions:** Each Blood Pressure Measurement MUST hold a reference to a _Personal Health Device_ [Device](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/device.html) resource. Blood pressure devices typically do not require calibration. This profile inherits from the FHIR Blood Pressure profile (`http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/bp`) and adds HDDT-specific constraints. The blood pressure components (systolic and diastolic are mandatory; mean is optional) are inherited from the parent profile with the MeanBP component added as an optional slice. Each component MUST include a value in mmHg (millimeters of mercury). Caution: For privacy and data protection, the subject reference MUST only use pseudonymized or anonymized identifiers. Direct patient identification is not permitted. **Constraints applied:** - `status` is restricted to _final_ - `code.coding[BPCode]` is constrained to ValueSet HddtMivBloodPressureValue containing LOINC panel code 85354-9 - `component` cardinality is set to 2..3 to require systolic and diastolic components (inherited from parent), with mean blood pressure as optional - `component[MeanBP]` is added as an optional slice (0..1) for mean blood pressure with LOINC code 8478-0 - Each component's `valueQuantity` MUST use UCUM code mm[Hg] for the unit - `device` is mandatory and restricted to reference only HddtPersonalHealthDevice" /> <copyright value="Copyright (c) 2025 gematik GmbH" /> <fhirVersion value="4.0.1" /> <kind value="resource" /> <abstract value="false" /> <type value="Observation" /> <baseDefinition value="http://fhir.de/StructureDefinition/observation-de-vitalsign-blutdruck" /> <derivation value="constraint" /> <differential> <element id="Observation.status"> <path value="Observation.status" /> <short value="Measurement status" /> <definition value="The status of the measurements is fixed to 'final'.
