A sensor interface is configured to receive a sensor signal. A transmitter generates a transmit signal. A receiver receives the signal corresponding to the transmit signal. Further, a monitor interface is configured to communicate a waveform to the monitor so that measurements derived by the monitor from the waveform are generally equivalent to measurements derivable from the sensor signal.

A method enables analysis of (e.g. bioelectric) signals acquired by measurement. The method provides N signals U for an observation space and each has a time- and space-dependent signal characteristic U. Digitized signals for a time period T have M time points and define an M?N matrix with M tuples of N signal values each. Signal values acquired at time t form an N-tuple ?.sub.t=(U.sub.1, . . . , U.sub.N).sub.t in a signal space. The method acquires all combinations of k tuples from the M tuples, and calculates distances between all tuples. Distance values are calculated and define edge lengths of a (k?1) simplex (SIM) with one simplex assigned to each combination of k time points. Quantity characteristics of the simplex (SIM) are encoded into color values (COL), and displays the colors in a combinatorial time lattice (CTL). Each lattice point (GP) is displayed with the color encoded for the assigned simplex.

An arm mountable portable patient monitoring device configured for both on patient monitoring of parameter measurements using one or more sensors operatively connected to the portable patient monitoring device and wireless transmission of parameter measurements. The arm mountable portable patient monitoring device includes a pulse oximetry sensor configured to be wrapped around a digit of a patient, a housing having a size and shape configured for mounting to a lower arm of the patient, and a strap mountable to the back side of the housing and configured to secure the housing to the lower arm of the patient. The housing includes a display, a first sensor port positioned on the housing to face toward a hand of the patient, second and third sensor ports, a battery, signal processing arrangements to cause display of parameter measurements, and a transmitter to transmit information indicative of the measurements.

Provided herein are systems and methods for calculating patient information. The method includes determining a transfer matrix, recording electric potentials via a first set of recording electrodes located at a first set of recording locations to create a first set of recorded signals, and calculating patient information for a set of target locations by applying the transfer matrix to the first set of recorded signals. The transfer matrix is a characterization of electrical properties of tissue between the first set of recording locations and the set of target locations.

A wearable, portable physiological monitor configured to wirelessly transmit real time information regarding a plurality physiological parameters. The portable monitor includes a plurality of sensor ports, where at least a first sensor port is positioned on a side of a housing of the portable monitor such that, when the portable monitor is attached to an arm of a patient, a wired connection extending from the first sensor port to a first physiological sensor positioned on a digit of the patient follows a path to the digit of the patient that avoids tangling of the wired connection. The portable monitor further includes one or more processing devices configured to cause display of parameter values, combine information indicative of the signals into a single word or bit stream, and encode and generate a baseband signal. Further includes a transmitter to modulate the baseband signal and wirelessly transmit.
