Claim 23:
24. A method of managing an individualized cardiac rehabilitation plan, the method comprising:
receiving, by at least one processor, healthcare provider (HCP) input from a user interface operably coupled to the at least one processor, the HCP input regarding the cardiac rehabilitation plan;
generating, by the at least one processor, one or more plans based on the HCP input, the one or more plans specifying an individualized set of rehabilitative exercise sessions along with associated start times and durations for each of the rehabilitative exercise sessions, the rehabilitative exercise sessions 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 ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient over the duration of the rehabilitative exercise session;
storing, by the at least one processor, the one or more plans in a memory operably coupled to the at least one processor;
transferring, by the at least one processor, the cardiac rehabilitation plan including the one or more plans to an externally worn device via a network interface operably coupled to the at least one processor, the externally worn device being configured to continuously monitor the ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient for one or more arrhythmias;
causing, by the at least one processor, the externally worn device to begin administering the cardiac rehabilitation plan based on the one or more plans;
receiving, by the at least one processor via the network interface, electrocardiogram (ECG) and non-ECG physiological information for the ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation patient from the externally worn device, the ECG and non-ECG physiological information being periodically or continuously updated over the rehabilitation period of time;
during administration of the cardiac rehabilitation plan, recording one or more status identifiers for each of at least one past rehabilitative exercise session based at least on the patient's completion or non-completion of the one or more activities to be completed by the patient over the duration of the given past rehabilitative exercise session, based on the received ECG and non-ECG physiological information,
wherein the one or more status identifiers for each past rehabilitative exercise session comprise whether the given past rehabilitative exercise session was completed or non-completed;

during administration of the cardiac rehabilitation plan, dynamically adjusting, by the at least one processor, the cardiac rehabilitation plan based on the received ECG and non-ECG physiological information and based on the one or more status identifiers for each of at least one past rehabilitative exercise session to create an adjusted cardiac rehabilitation plan, wherein dynamically adjusting the cardiac rehabilitation plan 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 the 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;

transferring, by the at least one processor, the adjusted cardiac rehabilitation plan to the externally worn device via the network interface;
causing, by the at least one processor, the externally worn device to continue administering the adjusted cardiac rehabilitation plan; and
confirming, by the at least one processor, that the externally worn device is administering the adjusted cardiac rehabilitation plan.
