Medical monitoring analysis and replay including indicia responsive to light attenuated by body tissue

A method of monitoring physiological parameters of a patient using a medical monitor including a configurable replay display, said monitor configured to analyze and present indicia reflective of physiological parameters of the patient in real time and replayed for stored data, said parameters including oxygen saturation, the method comprising:

• receiving, at at least one sensor port, a first signal responsive to light attenuated by tissue of a wearer of at least one noninvasive sensor, wherein a housing of a medical monitor positions said at least one sensor port;
• receiving at at least one communication port positioning by said housing, other data responsive to physiology of said wearer from devices separate and different from said medical monitor;
• processing, with one or more of a plurality of processors of a processing system, said received first signal to generate first data indicative of a first physiological parameter, said housing enclosing said processing system, said first data including at least one waveform, measurement values of said physiological parameter, and when applicable, visual alarms associated with said measurement values, one or more of said plurality of processors configured to receive said other data and timewise synchronize the first data with said other data, wherein said first data and said other data need not be determining measurement values at the same rate, wherein one or more of said plurality of processors are configured to process said first data or said other data or both, to create virtual channel data including non-measured parameter data resulting from processing said first data or said channel data or both;
• causing a touchscreen display to present a configurable replay display view, in response to one or more of said plurality of processors, said housing positioning said touchscreen display, said configurable replay display view including a plurality of presentation views, said plurality of presentation views being user-selectable to include a heat map view and two or more of a box-and-whisper view, a distribution view, a histogram view, an index view, or a gage histogram view;
• storing, in a data storage device, said first data, said virtual channel data, and said other data for use during a replay process, said housing enclosing said data storage device;
• and
• replaying, on said touchscreen display responsive to at least a plurality of finger control gestures made while in contact with said touchscreen display and within the configurable replay display first view, past values of said stored first data, said virtual channel data, and when selected, said other data, formatted into said configurable replay display view including selected ones of said plurality of presentation views;
• said replaying including automatically formatting said past values according to axis alterations in response to-said control gestures made within said configurable replay display view.
