Claim 2:
3. The medical device system of claim 2, wherein to determine one or both of whether to perform the one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or whether to perform the one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition, the processing circuitry is configured to:
receive, from the optical sensor, data corresponding to the ambient light measurement;
receive, from the motion sensor, data corresponding to the motion level measurement;
determine, based on the data corresponding to the motion level measurement, a motion level associated with a patient;
determine, based on the data corresponding to the ambient light measurement, an amount of ambient light present in target tissue;
compare the motion level with a threshold motion level; and
compare the amount of ambient light with a threshold amount of ambient light.
