    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for determining whether a medical sensor has been properly applied to a patient are provided. In one embodiment, a patient monitor having such capabilities may include a medical sensor interface and data processing circuitry. The medical sensor interface may receive physiological data from a medical sensor applied to a patient. The data processing circuitry may be capable of being trained, using a learning-based algorithm, to determine whether the received physiological data indicates that the medical sensor has been properly applied to the patient.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes an energy efficient wireless medical sensor that may be capable of optimizing battery life and increasing component life by selectively using only a subset of the sensors and sensor functionality included in the wireless medical sensor at any one time. One or more update factors may be used by the wireless sensor or an external patient monitor to derive a data collection modality, data collection rates, and update interval. The data collection modality, data collection rates, and update interval may be used to selectively gather sensing data in a manner that is more energy efficient.
