WIRELESS OPTICAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NONINVASIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSORS AND PATIENT MONITORS

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure include a noninvasive physiological patient sensor and a patient monitor capable of wireless communication with one another. An optical communication path can be used to provide the communication path between the noninvasive physiological patient sensor and the patient monitor. The path can be maintained by one or more light sources and detectors traditionally associated with noninvasive optical sensors or by one or more additional dedicated light sources and detectors.
