Doug P. BogiaIntel CorporationDoug has been the driving force behind the 11073 PHD group where he has brought parties with strong opinions together to find common ground. This is exemplified in the progress in the 20601 specification where he forged a compromise between the authors of competing approaches, has kept the group on subject, has successfully avoided scope creep and bridged disagreements that resulted in all parties freely accepting the conclusions. Additionally, he, along with others he has recruited, has created successful interoperability demonstrations that have fueled optimism about the group's success. While 11073 is distinct from Continua, Continua's success is dependent upon the 11073 group producing a viable spec. Doug has been instrumental in making this a reality. Doug's objectivity, diplomacy and technical knowledge are deserving of high praise. Doug Bogia is a Standards Architect in Intel's Digital Health Group. In 1995, Doug received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in Computer Supported Collaborative Work. Since joining Intel in 1995, Doug has held a number of positions ranging from implementing collaborative business and personal products, implementing small business support services, to creating telecommunication products. During 2002, he assisted in creating the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture standard enabling the telecommunications industry to begin interoperable implementations in 2003. Recently, he shifted focus to the healthcare industry. Doug led the formation of the ISO/IEEE 11073 Personal Health Devices Work Group where he currently serves as the Work Group Chair. He is also an active participant in the Continua Health Alliance, Bluetooth Medical Devices Work Group, and USB Personal Health Device Profile. |
