## Resource Profile: AT PreNUDGE Observation ( Abstract )

Official URL: https://fhir.hl7.at/prenudge/appdata/r4/StructureDefinition/at-prenudge-observation | Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-06-24 | Responsible: The PreNUDGE Consortium | Computable Name: AtPrenudgeObservation

This FHIR profile is defining the overall Observation for PreNUDGE. It is abstract, so no instances of this profile directly are allowed. Be aware that if the user enters values from a device into a questionnaire, it is still considered a manual input. Please keep in mind that all observations must comply with the qualification matrix on https://prenudge.at/qualificationmatrix/.

Usages:

- Derived from this Profile: AT PreNUDGE Observation Blood Glucose (only in mg/dL), AT PreNUDGE Observation Highest Completed Education, AT PreNUDGE Observation Other not Quantities, AT PreNUDGE Observation Other Quantities... Show 5 more, AT PreNUDGE Observation Sleep Duration, AT PreNUDGE Observation Sleep Quality, AT PreNUDGE Observation Step Count, AT PreNUDGE Observation WHOQOL-BREF Score and AT PreNUDGE Observation Work-SoC Category Score
