Abstract

A blood oxygen graph (200) that specifies blood oxygen level ranges varying over a span of time is displayed within a graphical user interface. Data from at least one physiological sensor is received that includes a current blood oxygen level (230) of a patient and a time point (260) associated with the measurement. Using the received data, the current blood oxygen level for the patient overlaid on the blood oxygen graph at the time point is displayed in the graphical user interface. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.
