• determining a patient pain index based upon said body data series;
• determining whether the patient pain index is above a reference pain index;

• allowing, automatically, delivery of a pain medication based on at least one of said safety index or a determination that said patient pain index is above said reference pain index.

A method for providing pain medication to a patient, comprising:

• receiving, automatically by the device, at least one body data series in response to said request for delivery of a pain therapy;
• determining a patient pain index based upon said body data series;
• determining whether the patient pain index is above a patient pain index threshold;
• automatically delivering a pain therapy to the patient in response to determining that said patient pain index is above said patient pain index threshold.
