Toolkit

In order to ensure widespread implementation of this standard, WHO, ITU-T and ITU-D’s Digital Inclusion Programme developed a Toolkit for Safe Listening Devices and Systems.

Inter-Agency Collaboration on Digital Health

H.870 and the work on safe listening is part of the Inter-Agency Collaboration between the ITU and the World Health Organization on Digital health, which is undertaken primarily through ITU-T Study Group 16 and the ITU-WHO Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health (FG-AI4H).
