1. A system comprising:
an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) comprising:
a housing configured for subcutaneous implantation within a patient, the housing having a length, a width, and a depth,
wherein the length is greater than the width and the width is greater than the depth, and
wherein the length is within a range from 40 millimeters (mm) to 60 mm;
an accelerometer to detect motion data indicative of activity level of the patient; and
a plurality of electrodes positioned on the housing, wherein the ICM is configured to sense an electrocardiogram (ECG) of the patient via the plurality of electrodes;
a remote computing device; and
processing circuitry of at least one of the insertable cardiac monitor or the remote computing device, the processing circuitry configured to:
periodically determine a respective value for each of a plurality of patient parameters based on the ECG and the activity level;
output trends of the periodically determined values of the patient parameters at the remote computing device;
determine a risk or occurrence of a cardiac event of the patient based on the trends of the periodically determined values of the patient parameters; and
output an indication of the cardiac event based on the determination.
