Abstract
Changes in patient status are assessed based at least in part on respiration parameters. A user can make selections regarding alert criteria options to be used in assessing patient status. Respiration is implantably sensed and respiration data is stored by an implantable device. A respiration parameter, such as respiration rate, is measured from the respiration data. The change in patient status is assessed by comparing the respiration parameter to the configured alert criteria. If the comparison of the respiration parameter and the configured alert criteria indicates a significant change in patient status, an alert signal is generated.
