The Continua Design Guidelines (CDG) include guidelines for the TAN-IF, PAN-IF (wired, standard wireless and low-power wireless), local area network interface (LAN-IF) (sensor LAN), WAN-IF and HRN-IF.

The TAN-IF (near-field communication (NFC)) guidelines are defined for the following device specializations: pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, thermometer, weighing-scales, glucose meter, cardiovascular fitness, step counter, strength fitness, activity hub, adherence monitor, peak flow meter, fall sensor, motion sensor, enuresis sensor, contact closure sensor, switch sensor, dosage sensor, water sensor, smoke sensor, property exit sensor, temperature sensor, usage sensor, personal emergency response system (PERS) sensor, carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, gas sensor, heart-rate sensor, Basic 1-3 lead electrocardiograph (ECG) sensor, body composition analyser, international normalized ratio (INR) meter and sleep apnoea breathing therapy equipment (SABTE).

The PAN-IF guidelines for PAN wired (universal serial bus (USB)) and PAN standard wireless (Bluetooth) are defined for the following device specializations: pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, thermometer, weighing-scales, glucose meter, cardiovascular fitness, step counter, strength fitness, activity hub, adherence monitor, peak flow meter, fall sensor, motion sensor, enuresis sensor, contact closure sensor, switch sensor, dosage sensor, water sensor, smoke sensor, property exit sensor, temperature sensor, usage sensor, PERS sensor, CO sensor, gas sensor, heart-rate sensor, Basic 1-3 lead ECG sensor, body composition analyser, INR meter, SABTE, low power (LP) wireless: weight scale.

The PAN-IF guidelines for LP wireless PAN (Bluetooth low energy (LE)) are defined for the following: thermometer, heart-rate sensor, blood pressure monitor and glucose meter.
