1. A method comprising:
- receiving a cardiac biological signal that includes an event relevant to a medical purpose;
determining a merit of the event for the medical purpose;
associating the event with a time span in which the event occurred if the event'"'"'s merit is among a certain number of the most meritorious events that occurred in the time span; and
handling the association of the time span and the event.

Abstract
Systems and techniques for managing biological signals. In one implementation, a method includes receiving a cardiac biological signal that includes information describing events, determining a merit of each event based on one or more of a severity of a cardiac condition associated with the event and a quality of the event, and handling a subset of the events that meet a merit criterion. The subset can be handled for medical purposes.

20. A method comprising:
-
receiving a biological signal;
identifying an event in the biological signal, the event of greater relevance for a certain purpose than an average relevance of the biological signal;
determining a merit of the event for the certain purpose;
comparing the merit of the event with a second merit of a second event to identify a more meritorious event;
creating an episode describing the more meritorious event;
associating the episode with a time span in which the events occurred; and
transmitting the association of the episode and the time span to a remote receiver. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
