Disclosed are systems and methods for measuring blood oxygen saturation via a multiwavelength pulse oximeter. The system comprises a multi-wavelength pulse oximeter with an LED array, a patient monitor connected to the multi-wavelength pulse oximeter, a medical data network for querying an at least one wavelength associated with a patient condition, an algorithm network for providing subscription based algorithms to process sensor data, and a user interface on the patient monitor for configuring a pulse oximeter's scanning mode, for querying the at least one wavelength associated with a patient condition, and for displaying a plethysmograph.
