Claims20
A system for managing heart failure (HF) in a patient, comprising:
- a user input configured to receive a user selection of a patient symptom or a user selection of a HF comorbidity in the patient;
- a physiological status detector configured to detect a physiological status parameter from the patient;
- and
- a heart failure alert generator, coupled to the user input and the physiological status detector, and configured to:
- adjust an alert range or an alert threshold based on the user selection of the patient symptom or the user selection of the HF comorbidity;
- and
- generate an alert in response to the physiological status parameter falling within the adjusted alert range or crossing the adjusted alert threshold.
