Medical device low acuity vitals system architecture

A medical device, comprising:

• a tangible, non-transitory storage device storing a single system architecture including a plurality of modular software components, wherein each of the plurality of modular software components is programmed to provide a separate medical device functionality;
• wherein each of the plurality of modular software components is configured to run independently as a daemon such that each daemon provides the separate medical device functionality;
• wherein the plurality of modular software components further comprise a plurality of reusable assets,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of reusable assets is a proxy for interfacing with a measurement module, wherein the measurement module is configured to obtain patient physiological data;
• wherein at least one of the plurality of reusable assets specifies a message channel for receiving output from the measurement module;
• and
• wherein the message channel is defined between the proxy and the measurement module within the medical device so that the patient physiological data is communicated, using an object-oriented data model with a publish/subscribe bus architecture, from the measurement module to the proxy;
• wherein each of the plurality of modular software components is configured to be modified and recompiled without recompiling unchanged modular software components;
• and
• wherein the plurality of modular software components are configured to communicate to each other through a software component.
