Performing measurements using sensors of a medical device system

A method comprising:

• measuring, by an optical sensor of a medical device system, a tissue oxygen saturation parameter;
• and
• performing, by processing circuitry of the medical device system, a plurality of evaluations wherein each evaluation of the plurality of evaluations is associated with a measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, and wherein, for each of the evaluations, the method comprises:
• determining, based on an ambient light measurement associated with the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, one or both of:
• whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or
• whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition;
• and
• completing, by the processing circuitry, the evaluation based on determining one or both of whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to:

• measure a tissue oxygen saturation parameter;
• and
• perform a plurality of evaluations, wherein each evaluation of the plurality of evaluations is associated with a measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, and wherein, for each of the evaluations, the instructions cause the one or more processors to:
• determine, based on an ambient light measurement associated with the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, one or both of:
• whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or
• whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition;
• and
• complete the evaluation based on determining one or both of whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition.
