1. A device comprising:
- a first sensor coupler configured to receive a first input signal from a first sensor, the first input signal corresponding to a non-pulsatile direct current (DC) component of a first physiological parameter and based on optical excitation of a tissue;
a processor coupled to the first sensor coupler, the processor configured to generate an output signal based on the first input signal, the first physiological parameter encoded in the output signal and the output signal differing from the first input signal, and wherein the output signal corresponds to a measure of tissue oxygenation; and
an output coupler configured to communicate the output signal to a remote device.

Abstract
A device includes a first sensor coupler that is configured to receive a first input signal from a first sensor. The first input signal corresponds to a first physiological parameter and is based on optical excitation of a tissue. The device includes a processor coupled to the first sensor coupler. The processor is configured to generate an output signal based on the first input signal. The first physiological parameter is encoded in the output signal. The output signal differs from the first input signal. The device includes an output coupler configured to communicate the output signal to a remote device.
