Claim 16:
17. A system for managing an individualized cardiac rehabilitation plan, the system comprising:
a server comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium including a database stored thereon,
a user interface,
a wireless network interface configured to communicate with an externally worn cardiac monitoring device, and
at least one server processor operably coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the user interface, and the wireless network interface, the at least one server processor configured to:
receive healthcare provider (HCP) input via the user interface, the HCP input regarding the rehabilitation plan,
generate one or more plan data structures to be stored in the database based on the HCP input, the one or more plan data structures specifying an individualized set of rehabilitative exercise sessions, along with associated start times and durations, to be performed by an ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient over a rehabilitation period of time,
wherein each rehabilitative exercise session comprises one or more activities to be completed by the patient over the duration of the rehabilitative exercise session, and

transmit the one or more plan data structures via the wireless network interface; and

the externally worn cardiac monitoring device configured to communicate with the server, the device comprising at least one device processor configured to:
continuously monitor the ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient for one or more arrhythmias,
receive the one or more plan data structures from the server,
instruct the ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient to initiate one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions of the rehabilitation plan at an associated one of the start times based on the received one or more plan data structures,
cause the device to monitor heart rate and motion information of the ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient during performance of the one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions,
compare the monitored heart rate and motion information to threshold heart rate and motion information to generate comparison information,
after the patient has completed or non-completed the one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions, record one or more status identifiers for the one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions based on the comparison information,
wherein the one or more status identifiers for the one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions comprise whether the one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions was completed or non-completed, and

transmit via the wireless network interface the recorded one or more status identifiers to the server,

wherein the at least one server processor is further configured to modify the one or more plan data structures based on the recorded status identifiers received from the device, wherein modifying the one or more plan data structures comprises at least one of
adjusting a difficulty level for one or more subsequent rehabilitative exercise sessions in the individualized set;
postponing one or more subsequent rehabilitative exercise sessions in the individualized set;
skipping one or more subsequent rehabilitative exercise sessions in the individualized set; or
repeating one or more of at least one past rehabilitative exercise session as one or more subsequent rehabilitative exercise sessions,
wherein the one or more subsequent rehabilitative exercise sessions in the individualized set are subsequent to the at least one past rehabilitative exercise session, the at least one past rehabilitative exercise session comprising the completed or non-completed one of the rehabilitative exercise sessions.
