Abstract

A system for operating third party proprietary software on a medical monitoring device operating native proprietary software and a system for obtaining compatible third party proprietary software for operation on the monitoring device.

Claims

1. A method of operating third party proprietary software on a medical monitoring device, the method comprising:

providing a medical monitoring device, the monitoring device including operational software configured to measure and display physiological measurements using a physiological sensor;

downloading onto the medical monitoring device third party proprietary software configured to change the operation of the medical monitoring device;

operating the medical monitoring device with the third party software.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the third party proprietary software is downloaded from a virtual software application store.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the third party proprietary software computes a proprietary measurement.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the proprietary measurement is displayed on the medical monitoring device.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the third party proprietary software is downloaded on a per patient basis.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the third party proprietary software is downloaded on a per device basis.
