1. A method for organizing medical information, comprising:
- detecting or predicting a respiratory event of a patient;
initiating, responsive to the detection or prediction of the respiratory event, collection of medical information associated with the respiratory event;
collecting the medical information associated with the respiratory event; and
organizing the medical information as a respiratory event log entry, wherein at least one of detecting or predicting, initiating, collecting, and organizing is performed at least in part implantably.

Abstract
An event-based approach to collecting and organizing information associated with events affecting respiration is presented. The detection or prediction of an event affecting the respiration of a patient initiates acquisition of information associated with the event. The respiratory logbook system acquires information with the event during the event and during intervals proximate in time to the event. The information is organized as a respiratory log entry. The user can access the information by operating a user interface. The information may be presented in textual or graphical form.

17. A respiratory event logbook system, comprising:
-
an event detector configured to detect or predict a respiratory event affecting the patient;
a data acquisition unit, coupled to the event detector, and configured to collect medical information associated with the respiratory event responsive to the detection or prediction of the respiratory event; and
a processor, coupled to the data acquisition unit, and configured to organize the collected medical information associated with the respiratory event as a respiratory event log entry, wherein at least one of the event detector, the data acquisition unit, and the processor includes an implantable component. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
