AUTOMATED CONDITION SCREENING AND DETECTION
Embodiments are disclosed that enable an electronic device to instruct as user how to user one or more noninvasive sensors to measure one or more physiological parameters of a patient.

display, on a display, instructions to obtain a first measurement by positioning a first noninvasive sensor at a first measurement site on a patient;
receive, from the first noninvasive sensor, first signals responsive to a first physiological characteristic of the patient;
calculate a first measured physiological parameter responsive to the first signals;
display, on the display, instructions to obtain a second measurement by positioning a second noninvasive sensor at a second measurement site on the patient;
receive, from the second noninvasive sensor, second signals responsive to a second physiological characteristic of the patient;
calculate a second measured physiological parameter of the patient responsive to the second signals;
display, on the display, the first and second measured physiological parameters;
transmit, with a wireless transceiver, the first and second measured physiological parameters over a network; and
display, on the display, an indication of whether the first and second measured physiological parameters were sent to an electronic medical record system.
