1. A method for deriving effectiveness of medical treatment of a patient, the method comprising:

  • collecting patient state (PS) data from at least one of an implantable medical device (IMD) or an external medical device (EMD) over a collection interval, the at least one IMD or EMD configured to collect the PS data in relation to a physiologic characteristic (PC) of the patient;

    transferring the PS data to a database that is remote from the patient to form a patient state data (PSD) history, wherein the patient undergoes a pivotal medical event (PME) during the collection interval;

    analyzing the PS data within the PSD history before and after the PME to propose a treatment therapy (TT);

    following delivery of the TT, repeating the collecting and transferring operations to obtain post-treatment PS data and form a post-treatment PSD history; and

    deriving an effectiveness indicator (EI) of the TT based on at least the post-treatment PSD history.
