1. An automated method for detecting a presence of a medical disorder, comprising:
- detecting availability of one or more medical devices of a plurality of medical devices, each medical device configured for sensing one or more parameters indicative of a physiological condition, the plurality of medical devices comprising an implanted device and a patient external medical device;
assessing proficiency in sensing the one or more parameters indicative of the physiological condition of each of the one or more medical devices detected to be available;
selecting one of the plurality of medical devices to sense data indicative of the physiological condition associated with the medical disorder, the selection based on the proficiency assessment;
sensing data associated with the physiological condition using the selected medical device; and
assessing the presence of the medical disorder based on the sensed data associated with the physiological condition.

Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting medical disorders through synergistic use of one or more medical devices are described. One or more medical devices are selected to sense one or more physiological parameters associated with a medical disorder. A presence of the medical disorder is assessed based on the sensed parameters. The medical devices used for sensing may be selected from a plurality of patient internal and/or patient-external medical devices.
