Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for a communication bus that virtualizes physiological data. Sensors and/or physiological data acquisition devices have different physical connectors which provide physiological data from a patient to a shared interface such as a display or patient monitor. A transfer interface within a mount can receive and interpret data streams associated with one or more physiological data acquisition devices. The transfer interface can prioritize the various data streams associated with the one or more physiological data acquisition devices and generate a single, combined data stream based on the assigned prioritization. The transfer interface can provide the combined data stream for transmission to a patient monitor via an interchangeable transport medium. Another transfer interface can process and/or virtualize the data streams from the physiological data acquisition devices.
