Abstract

A system and method for analyzing data during automated patient management is disclosed. A patient enrolled under automated patient management is identified with information including at least one of treatment profile and medical history. Device measures are collected to provide raw physiometry for the patient regularly recorded by an implantable medical device. Derived device measures to provide derivative physiometry based on the collected device measures are determined. Data including a patient status indicator determined from the collected and derived device measures in conjunction with the treatment profile or medical history is quantified.
