CONFIGURABLE PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM

1 . A patient monitoring system, comprising:

at least one physiological sensor including a first and second light emitter and a detector, wherein the physiological sensor is configured to measure at least one physiological signal from a patient;

at least one health indicator, wherein the health indicator is configured to display a signal value based upon the at least one physiological signal;

a processor:

receive patient information;

calculate a first range of values for the at least one health indicator based at least in part on the patient information, wherein the first range of values corresponds to a first range of physiological signals from the patient, wherein the first range of values corresponds to a first patient condition;

calculate a second range of values for the at least one health indicator based at least in part on the patient information, wherein the second range of values corresponds to a second range of physiological signals from the patient, wherein the second range of values corresponds to an second patient condition; and

wherein the at least one health indicator is configured to display a first output when the signal value is within the first range of values; and

wherein the at least one health indicator is configured to display a second output when the signal value is within the second range of values.

2 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the first patient condition is a healthy condition.

3 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the first patient condition is an unhealthy condition.

4 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the patient monitoring system is further configured to calculate a third range of values for the health indicator, wherein the third range of values corresponds to a third range of physiological signals from the patient, wherein the third range of values corresponds to an intermediate patient condition;

5 . The patient monitoring system of claim 4 , wherein the first range of values, the second range of values, and the third range of values do not overlap.

6 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the first health indicator is configured to output an alarm signal when the signal value moves from the first range of values to the second range of values.

7 . The patient monitoring system of claim 6 , wherein the alarm signal is an audible alarm

8 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the first output is a first color displayed on the health indicator and the second output is a second color displayed on the health indicator.

9 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the first output and the second output are both displayed when the signal value is in the second range of values.

10 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the patient monitoring system is configured to communicate the signal value with a mobile device.

11 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the patient information is at least one of age, gender, height, or weight.

12 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the patient information is information associated with the medical history of the patient.

13 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the health indicator is a circular health indicator.

14 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the health indicator is a vertical bar indicator.

15 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the health indicator is a trend graph indicator.

16 . The patient monitoring system of claim 15 , wherein the health indicator is a wherein the signal value is a point on a trend graph.

17 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the signal value is a numeric value.

18 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the signal value is an analog indicator.

19 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one physiological sensor is configured to measure glucose, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, total hemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, perfusion index, or temperature.

20 . The patient monitoring system of claim 1 , wherein the physiological sensor is a pulse oximeter.
