monitoring the plurality of sensors to detect one or more conditions for which alert is appropriate;
adding each detected condition to a queue of current conditions for which alert is appropriate;
prioritizing each detected condition in the queue of current conditions from a highest priority condition to a lowest priority condition, the prioritization being based on a severity of each condition and a timeliness of remedying such action;
deferring alerts for conditions other than a highest priority condition;
issuing only a first alert for the highest priority condition;
when the highest priority condition is a cardiac event, the first alert is a warning of imminent therapy; and
delivering therapy from the WCD via the plurality of electrodes when the first alert is not remedied.
