Claim:
1. A system comprising: a first respiration sensor configured to receive cyclic information indicative of inhalation or exhalation; a different second non-respiration sensor configured to receive non-respiration information other than information indicative of inhalation or exhalation; an apnea detection module, coupled to the first respiration sensor and to the different second non-respiration sensor, configured to recognize an apnea and distinguish a type of the recognized apnea from multiple different apnea types using the cyclic information indicative of inhalation or exhalation from the first respiration sensor and using the non-respiration information from the different second nonrespiration sensor; and a therapy generation circuit configured to enable generation of a therapy based on the apnea type distinguished by the apnea detection module.
