1. A system for monitoring a heart failure status of a heart failure patient, comprising:
- an implantable medical device; and
a programmable device having machine executable instructions for performing a method to assist with managing a patient'"'"'s health, the method performed by the programmable device including acquiring from the implantable medical device sensed physiological parameters, and using the sensed physiological parameters to generate a composite parameter indicative of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA),wherein the sensed parameters acquired from the implantable medical device includes sensed heart rate and sensed respiration, and using the sensed physiological parameters to generate the composite parameter indicative of RSA includes using a function of the sensed heart rate and the sensed respiration to generate the composite parameter indicative of RSA.

Abstract
Systems, devices and methods for defining, identifying and utilizing composite parameter indices from health-related parameters are disclosed. One aspect is a programmable device having machine executable instructions for performing a method to assist with managing a patient'"'"'s health. In various embodiments, a first set of at least two health-related parameters is acquired. A first composite parameter is generated using the first set of at least two health-related parameters. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.
