1. A patient monitoring method seeking to identify a sepsis condition in said patient, said method comprising:

  • noninvasively generating a plurality of sensor signals responsive to physiological parameters indicative of an onset of a sepsis condition in a said patient, at least one of said sensor signals responsive to the output of a noninvasive optical sensor;

    electronically computing measurements for said physiological parameters from the sensor signals, said parameters including at least, pulse rate, temperature, and respiration;

    said respiration parameter responsive to measurements taken by an acoustic sensor applied to the neck, and said pulse rate parameter responsive to measurements taken by a pulse oximeter applied to a digit;

    applying a plurality of predetermined rules to the physiological parameters so as to determine the onset of the sepsis condition; and

    indicating to an observer the potential existence of the sepsis condition.
