Claim 0:
1. A medical device system comprising:
an optical sensor configured to measure a tissue oxygen saturation parameter; and
processing circuitry configured to perform a plurality of evaluations, wherein each evaluation of the plurality of evaluations is associated with a measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, and wherein, for each of the evaluations, the processing circuitry is configured to:
determine, based on an ambient light measurement associated with the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, one or both of:
whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or
whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition; and

complete the evaluation based on determining one or both of whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to controlling the optical sensor to perform the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter, or whether to perform one or more actions corresponding to using the measurement of the tissue oxygen saturation parameter to track a patient condition.
