Claim One:
1. A system, comprising: an implantable cardiac device including: means for applying corrective medical therapies to a patient; means for collecting health-related data from the patient; and a first portion of an artificial neural network, the first portion adapted to provide real time network operation and to adapt applied medical therapies based on collected data; and an external data processing apparatus including: a second portion of the artificial neural network, the second portion adapted to train and validate the operation of the neural network to match optimal treatment options based on the collected data, wherein the cardiac device and data processing apparatus are adapted to communicate to pass the collected patient data from the device to the apparatus, and are further adapted to communicate to pass a set of operating coefficients from the apparatus to the device, the coefficients used by the artificial neural network when determining optimal treatment therapies.
