1. A personal, wearable, wireless physiological system comprising:
- a physiological sensor configured to be attached to a patient and further configured to measure data useable to determine a physiological parameter;
a housing including a first processor configured to receive sensor signals from said physiological sensor and further configured calculate at least one physiological parameter of a patient, said housing configured to be wearable by the patient;
a first communications link in communication with said first processor, the communication link configured to at least wirelessly transmit an indication of the calculated at least one physiological parameter;
a second communications link configured to wirelessly receive the transmitted indication of the calculated at least one physiological parameter transmitted by the first communications link;
a second processor in communication with the second communications link, the second processor configured to provide a signal to the sensor input of a physiological monitor to cause the physiological monitor to display a physiological measurement consistent with the calculated at least one physiological parameter of the patient.

Abstract
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.
