We have two scenarios for this type:
- Infant growth is typically tracked using three measurements - weight, length, and head circumference. We have a good place to store weight, but no place to store head circumference. It's not clear whether a pediatric length should just be stored as a height, or whether it should be stored in this new type as a length, so we have included the capability to store length in this type.
- People working to lose weight and improve their fitness often have periodic body measurements taken, such as waist size, bicep size, or thigh size.
We've created a new type named body dimension to hold a single body measurement. A group of measurements would be linked together using related items.
| Element | Type | Description |
| when | approx-date-time | The date and time of the measurement. |
| measurement-name | codable-value | The name of the measurement. Examples: Waist size, bicep size, head circumference |
| value | length-value | The value of the measurement. |
There are two separate vocabularies for measurement name.
body-dimension-measurement-names-pediatric is used to store measurements from the first scenario.
body-dimension-measurement-names is used to store measurements from the second scenario.
