Claim Text:
1. A method of computing a multi-parameter index value indicative of a pulmonary condition of a patient, said method comprising: receiving two or more non-invasively measured patient parameters, wherein the two or more non-invasively measured patient parameters originating from one or more sensing devices, the two or more non-invasively measured patient parameters including a CO characterizing a first of said two or more non-invasively measured patient parameters based on a comparison of the first non-invasively measured patient parameter against a first reference value, the first reference value is representative of a known range and/or pattern of the first non-invasively measured patient parameter; characterizing a second of said two or more non-invasively measured patient parameter based on a comparison of the second non-invasively measured patient parameter against a second reference value, the second reference value is representative of a known range and/or pattern of the second non-invasively measured patient parameter and the second non-invasively measured patient parameter is different from the first non-invasively measured patient parameter; and computing the index value based on an integrative analysis of values associated with each of the characterized first and second non-invasively measured patient parameters, wherein a weighting factor applied to the value associated with the second characterized non-invasively measured parameter is influenced by the characterization of the first non-invasively measured patient parameter.
