1. A software platform for healthcare diagnostic applications comprising:
- a computing device including memory and a processor that, when executing instructions stored on the memory, creates;
a client-side framework defining elements for use by platform client applications;
a composite application framework supporting extensible modules, the composite application framework supporting construction of composite applications in which functionality is implemented by a container application which hosts plug-in modules to support specific diagnostic functions;
a plug-in module extending platform applications;
a composite application combining base application code with plug-in modules to support a set of clinical functions; and
a domain-specific framework for defined clinical measurement domains, wherein the domain-specific framework shares certain common code and resources with other modules and contain domain-specific expandable sets of sensor measurement plug-ins which obtain physiologic data of a type covered by a domain.

Abstract
A method for extending a functionality of a computing device programmed to obtain physiological measurements from a patient includes: registering, at the computing device, a plug-in module, the plug-in module providing additional functionality for the computing device; using the plug-in module to communicate with a medical device; commanding the medical device to obtain physiological information from a patient; receiving data associated with the physiological information from the medical device; and transferring the data to a central repository.
