Common display unit for a plurality of cableless medical sensors

A patient monitoring system comprising:

• a first sensor device comprising:
• a first set of one or more detectors to collect a first physiological information from a patient;
• a first analog-to-digital converter to convert the first physiological information to a first digital physiological data;
• a first connector configured to transmit the first digital physiological data and to receive power to power the first sensor device;
• a second sensor device comprising:
• a second set of one or more detectors to collect a second physiological information from the patient;
• a second analog-to-digital converter to convert the second physiological information to a second digital physiological data;
• a second connector configured to transmit the second digital physiological data and to receive power to power the second sensor device;
• an activator module configured to directly connect with both the first sensor device and the second sensor device, exclusively one at a time, the activator module comprising:
• a battery;
• a universal connection port configured to alternatively directly mate with both the first connector and the second connector, exclusively one at a time, to provide power from the battery to the connected one of the first sensor device and the second sensor device and to receive digital physiological data from the connected one of the first sensor device and the second sensor device;
• and
• a radio transmitter configured to transmit the first digital physiological data and the second digital physiological data to a host device.

A patient monitoring system comprising:

• at least two sensor devices, each sensor device comprising:
• one or more detectors to collect physiological information from a patient;
• an analog-to-digital converter to convert the physiological information to a digital physiological data;
• and
• a connector configured to transmit the digital physiological data and receive power to power the sensor device;
• wherein the at least two sensor devices are each configured to measure a different physiological parameter from the other;
• an activator module comprising:
• a battery;
• a universal connection port configured to directly mate with the connector of both of the at least two sensor devices, exclusively one at a time, to provide power from the battery to the connected one of the at least two sensor devices and to receive digital physiological data from the connected one of the at least two sensor devices;
• a radio transmitter to transmit the digital physiological data;
• and
• a display that displays a charge status of the battery and a connection status between the radio transmitter and a host device;
• and
• a host device to receive the digital physiological data from the radio transmitter.

A patient monitoring system comprising:
