Techniques are disclosed for a multi-tier system for delivering therapy to a patient. In one example, a first device senses parametric data for a patient and determines, based on a first analysis of the parametric data, that the patient is experiencing a treatable event. In response, the first device establishes wireless communication with a second device and transmits the parametric data to the second device. The second device verifies, based on a second analysis of the parametric data, whether the patient is experiencing the treatable event. The second device selects, based on the second analysis of the parametric data, an instruction for responding to the treatable event and transmits the instruction for responding to the treatable event to the first device. In some examples, in response to receiving the instruction, the first device aborts delivery of therapy for the treatable event or proceeds with delivering therapy for the treatable event.
