Systems and methods for providing sensor arrays for detecting physiological characteristics

A method for determining one or more physiological parameters of a subject, the method comprising:

• receiving physiological signals from sensor elements coupled to the subject;
• analyzing, using a processor, the physiological signals using a first metric associated with a first physiological parameter;
• analyzing, using a processor, the physiological signals using a second metric associated with a second physiological parameter;
• identifying, using a processor, whether the first physiological parameter can be determined based at least in part on the first metric;
• identifying, using a processor, whether the second physiological parameter can be determined based at least in part on the second metric;
• and
• determining, using a processor, at least one of the first and second physiological parameters of the subject based at least in part on the physiological signals received from the sensor elements and based at least in part on whether the first and second physiological parameters can be determined.
