1. A patient monitor comprising:
- a front-end interface configured to receive, from a sensor comprising a light source that emits light into a tissue site of a patient and a detector that detects a plurality of wavelengths of the emitted light after attenuation by the tissue site, a signal indicative of the detected light at each of the plurality of wavelengths; and
a processor configured to;
determine a tissue profile curve across each of the plurality of wavelengths based at least in part on the signal indicative of the detected light at each of the plurality of wavelengths, wherein the tissue profile curve comprises at least a first portion and a second portion;
analyze a shape of the tissue profile curve relative to a predefined boundary curve to determine patient wellness, wherein the first portion is analyzed in comparison to a first portion of the predefined boundary curve, and the second portion is analyzed in comparison to a second portion of the predefined boundary curve; and
output an indication in response to determining the shape of the tissue profile curve exceeds the predefined boundary curve.

Abstract
A tissue profile wellness monitor measures a physiological parameter, generates a tissue profile, defines limits and indicates when the tissue profile exceeds the defined limits. The physiological parameter is responsive to multiple wavelengths of optical radiation after attenuation by constituents of pulsatile blood flowing within a tissue site. The tissue profile is responsive to the physiological parameter. The limits are defined for at least a portion of the tissue profile.

9. A patient monitor comprising:
-
a front-end interface configured to receive, from a sensor comprising a light source that emits light into a tissue site of a patient and a detector that detects a plurality of wavelengths of the emitted light after attenuation by the tissue site, a signal indicative of the detected light at each of the plurality of wavelengths; and a processor configured to; determine a plurality of tissue profile curves over time and based at least in part on the signal indicative of the detected light at each of the plurality of wavelengths, wherein each of the tissue profile curves is across each of the plurality of wavelengths; evaluate a trend in movement of the tissue profile curves over time relative to a predetermined trend limit to determine patient wellness; and output an indication in response to determining the trend in movement of the tissue profile curves exceeds the predetermined trend limit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
