Numbers and other links
Major accomplishments
- Work on Rec. ITU-T F.930 "Multimedia telecommunications relay services" was completed at this meeting. Relay services enable persons who have hearing or speech disabilities, and who otherwise would be unable to engage in voice telecommunications, to make voice telephone calls to other people. In all forms of relay services, persons with disabilities connect to a communication assistant via a communications medium that is accessible to them. The communication assistant acts as an intermediary in the telephone call and converts between the accessible communication medium and voice, which is relayed from and to the person on the other end of the call. This Recommendation defines functional description of four common types of relay services in use today: text relay, video relay, captioned telephone service relay and speech-to-speech relay. Additionally, it lays out specific functional requirements of relay services pertaining to equipment, call setup, call experience, emergency communications, and message retrieval. [SG16-TD85/WP2]
- ITU-T Rec. H.861.1 (ex H.MBI-BHQ) "Requirements on establishing brain healthcare quotients" describes healthcare indices derived from neuroimaging analysis that are called Brain Healthcare Quotients (BHQs), intended to be used for facilitating the communication of information about It describes the requirements on how such an index is created and also how some concrete BHQs can be defined and calculated. This Recommendation also includes examples of services using BHQs to better monitor the health states for supporting active and alert living. BHQs are linked to various healthcare aspects of human life and can be used to improve life styles. It can give good standardized measurement and indices of brain conditions even for non-specialists. [SG16-TD86/WP2]
- A
first joint meeting with ISO/IEC JTC1 SC35 "User interfaces" was held on 12 Feb. with participation of about 60 delegates from SG16 and SC35. A presentation was made on the work of both groups and some ways forward were identified to strengthen collaboration. Currently interest exist within Q13/16 relating to work in SC35/WG8 (User Interfaces for Remote Interactions) and of Q26/16 relating to work in SC35/WG6 (User Interface Accessibility); other work areas will be looked into. There are many possibilities for joint work and collaboration, and specific modalities will be agreed upon as specific work items are identified (see also Q26/16 summary for specific work items). Discussion on how to better strengthen collaboration followed the presentation. It was stated that both groups should firstly identify the scope of areas of mutual interest as done at this meeting, then they define an appropriate method to cooperate on that particular area, taking into consideration different mechanisms that both groups follow. It is important to exchange comments to a particular work at the right moment, so that possible adjustments may be considered on a draft standard of one of either group. The idea of frequent joint meetings of both groups was supported by the participants as a means to strengthen collaboration.

Summary of Questions' Results
Question 26/16 summary
Question 26/16 received nine contributions. The group decided to propose
ITU-T F.930 (ex. F.Relay) for Consent at this meeting [
SG16-TD85/WP2 ]. The group agreed to start a revision to
ITU-T F.921 (target Consent in July 2018), and two new work items subject to the submission of initial draft texts at the SG16 meeting in July 2018. Q26/16 generated five output documents. No outgoing liaison statements were prepared. Review and comments were asked on
H.ACC-GAD ;
H.ACC-GVP ;
H.ACC-GAP that started at the SG16 meeting in October 2017 for possible twin text with SC35 (texts already approved in SC35). Informal discussions indicated that three work items in Q26/16 (
F.790 ;
F.791 ;
HSTP.ACC-SL ) may be of interest to SG35/WG6. Q26/16 will further explore the list and prepare a LS to SC35 for their next meeting (27-31 August 2018), including updated version of these drafts.
Question 28/16 summary
Question 28/16 progressed work on F.SLD, H.861.0 and H.MBI-BHQ. F.SLD was discussed on 9 February 2018 with the participation of a number of WHO experts, following the
ITU/WHO meeting of the Safe Listening Initiative on 7 and 8 Feb. 2018. The group reviewed
two contributions and updated the draft of ITU-T F.SLD [
RGM-DOC55 (180212) ]. The group confirmed the need to meet next in Geneva, 30 April 2018, back-to-back with the SG12 meeting, to progress the F.SLD draft. Experts discussed brain diagnostic standards on 13-14 Feb., for which
two contributions were submitted. The results of the e-meeting on 18 January 2018 to discuss H.MBI-BHQ were reviewed and agreed. The work on
ITU-T H.861.1 (ex H.MBI-BHQ) completed and submitted to WP2/16 for Consent. The group also supported an
editorial clarification in ITU-T H.861.0 in time for its publication. Q28/16 organized a
mini-workshop on
Brain Information and Digital Health -Emerging New Paradigm, on 14 February 2018. No outgoing liaison statements were prepared at this meeting.
