QIBA ''' ''industrializes'' biomarkers''' by selecting biomarkers ready for industrialization, investigating underlying sources of variance and practical impediments to their use, and drafting specification documents ("Profiles") to help vendors and healthcare providers overcome those impediments and sources of variance.
  
Much of this is adapted from DICOM and IHE processes.
