1. A system for monitoring a heart failure patient, the system comprising:
- a first sensor configured to acquire a first physiological or physical parameter and one or more second sensors configured to acquire one or more second physiological or physical parameters different than the first physiological or physical parameter;
at least one medical device configured to acquire an environmental parameter that is capable of affecting at least one of the first or the one or more second physiological or physical parameters; and
wherein the at least one medical device is configured to adjust the first or one or more second physiological or physical parameters based on the environmental parameter, and to determine a heart failure (HF) status indication using the adjusted first or one or more second physiological or physical parameters.
