Healthcare Bus
The contract between the host and every appliance attached to it.

Overview
The Healthcare Bus is how appliances attach to the YF1000. It defines discovery, identity, capability description, data exchange and command delivery.
It is a contract before it is a transport. An appliance that satisfies the contract works, without the host having been written with that appliance in mind.
Why it matters
Without a common bus, every vendor integration is bespoke and the cost of the ecosystem grows with the square of its size. With one, a vendor implements against a published interface once.
The comparison is deliberate: USB HID and Bluetooth GATT made whole device categories interchangeable by agreeing on a description format rather than on a product.
What crosses the bus
- Capability descriptions — what this appliance can measure or do
- Measurements, with units and provenance
- Commands, issued only by the host
- Health and status, including calibration and fault conditions
Future expansion
Additional appliance classes are added by extending the capability vocabulary, not by changing the transport, so existing devices keep working across versions.
