1. A method, comprising:

  • noninvasively, electronically determining measured values of a plurality of physiological parameters including at least a first physiological parameter and a second physiological parameter, wherein the determining is performed by processing one or more signals with one or more signal processors, said signals responsive to attenuation of light by body tissue of a monitored patient;

    electronically combining at least one measured value of the first physiological parameter and at least one measured value of the second physiological parameter into a wellness qualitative indication;

    displaying the wellness qualitative indication within a patient wellness area of a display device as a line, wherein the location of a distal end of the line and the slope of the line indicate a patient wellness level;

    providing an alarm threshold for the first physiological parameter;

    altering the alarm threshold for the first physiological parameter based on the at least one measured value of the second physiological parameter satisfying a threshold value; and

    activating a caregiver alert upon the occurrence of a predetermined event, wherein the predetermined event is based on the at least one measured value of the first physiological parameter satisfying in the altered alarm threshold.
