1. A system comprising:
- a memory comprising;
a plurality of data structures, each data structure comprising;
a span identification information field which identifies a time span, the time span having a duration, andan allocation information field describing a cardiac event allocated to the data structure, wherein the described cardiac event occurred within the time span identified in the span identification field; and
circuitry configured to perform a method comprising;
receiving a cardiac biological signal that includes information describing a first cardiac event relevant to a medical purpose, wherein the first cardiac event occurred within a first time span,determining a first measure of medical relevance of the information describing the first cardiac event for the medical purpose,determining whether the first measure of medical relevance is greater than a threshold level of medical relevance, wherein the threshold level of medical relevance is a level of medical relevance of a second cardiac event currently allocated to a first data structure of the plurality of data structures, wherein a span identification field of the first data structure identifies the first time span, andbased on determining that the first measure of medical relevance is greater than the threshold level of medical relevance, allocating the first cardiac event to the first data structure.

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.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving a cardiac biological signal that includes information describing a first cardiac event relevant to a medical purpose, wherein the first cardiac event occurred within a first time span; determining a first measure of medical relevance of the information describing the first cardiac event for the medical purpose; determining whether the first measure of medical relevance is greater than a threshold level of medical relevance, wherein the threshold level of medical relevance is a level of medical relevance of a second cardiac event currently allocated to a first data structure of a plurality of data structures, wherein a span identification field of the first data structure identifies the first time span; and based on determining that the first measure of medical relevance is greater than the threshold level of medical relevance, allocating the first cardiac event to the first data structure; wherein each data structure of the plurality of data structures comprises; a span identification information field which identifies a time span, the time span having a duration, and an allocation information field describing a cardiac event allocated to the data structure, wherein the described cardiac event occurred within the time span identified in the span identification field. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
