The primary objective is to determine if the trend in Respiratory Rate measurements provided by the device under investigation can be used to predict an increase in Sequential/Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score.~The RR trend will be measured as the difference between the RR recorded by the device at a point 15 minutes after commencement of treatment, as per the standard of care for patients suspected of being septic, and a point 3 hours following this.~Secondary objective The secondary objective is to test if Respiratory Rate can help identify patients at increased risk of 30 day mortality.~The null Hypotheses of the planned comparison is that there is no difference in the RR trend in the 3 hours following commencement of treatment for sepsis in subjects who have an increase in SOFA score by 2 or more points and those who have a change in SOFA score of +1 or less.~The change in SOFA score will be measured at point of commencement of treatment and at 6 hours following commencement of treatment, or nearest available SOFA score determination.~Respiratory Rate captured during admission could have a predictive course for cohort of interest~The time points for reviewing the RR will be as follows:~(i) The last measurement (ii) The trend over 3 hours following commencement of treatment as per the standard of care for patients suspected of being septic.~(iii) The trend over the entire duration of admission
