wherein the operations further including:

pausing the transmitting of first data block and the second data block as the data group until recording of first data block and the second data block is complete.

10. The medical system of claim 1 , wherein the data blocks include at least two data blocks having at least a portion of overlapping data in a segment of time.

11. The medical system of claim 1 , wherein the wearable medical monitoring device includes a first data source to acquire a first data type and a second data source to acquire a second data type, and
