1. A method for determining fluid parameters of living tissue comprising:

  • transmitting electromagnetic radiation at a tissue site using at least one emitter;

    detecting the electromagnetic radiation reflected and scattered by the tissue using at least one photodetector, the photodetector generating a signal corresponding to the detected electromagnetic radiation;

    processing the generated signal to calculate fluid parameters of the tissue site;

    correlating the calculated fluid parameters to a condition status by comparing the calculated fluid parameters with baseline fluid parameters and correlating the comparison to the condition status; and

    indicating the condition status on a display.
