1. A method for predicting disordered breathing in a patient, comprising:
- detecting one or more conditions associated with disordered breathing;
comparing the one or more conditions to one or more sets of disordered breathing prediction criteria; and
predicting the disordered breathing based on the comparison, wherein at least one of comparing and predicting is performed at least in part implantably.

Abstract
An approach for predicting disordered breathing involves detecting one or more conditions associated with disordered breathing. The detected conditions are compared to disordered breathing prediction criteria. A prediction of disordered breathing is performed based on the comparison of the detected conditions to the prediction criteria. At least one of comparing the detected conditions to the prediction criteria and predicting disordered breathing is performed at least in part implantably.
