Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for collecting patient data via a monitoring system, with reduced power consumption. In one embodiment, the monitoring system is configured to emit pulses of light, and detect the light after passing through patient tissue. The light data is emitted sporadically, and a waveform is reconstructed from the sporadically sampled light data. Physiological parameters from the patient may be calculated from the reconstructed waveform. The sporadic sampling may reduce the power consumption by the monitoring system.
