    摘要: A medical system includes implantable devices and an external device configured for wirelessly interacting with the implantable devices. The external device may be attachable to a patient and be configured for wirelessly communicating with a first implantable device, e.g., using acoustic energy, and wirelessly interacting with a second implantable device, e.g., using non-acoustic energy. The first implantable device may be a diagnostic device, in which case, the external device may wirelessly receive physiological information from the diagnostic device, and the second implantable device may be a therapeutic device, in which case, the external device may wirelessly interact with the therapeutic device to provide or optimize therapy to a patient

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for selectively activating medical devices are disclosed. A medical device in accordance with an illustrative embodiment includes an energy storage device, an acoustic transducer configured to convert an acoustic signal into an electrical signal, a signal detector configured to generate a trigger signal when the electrical signal exceeds a specific threshold established by a biasing element, a control circuit, and an activation/deactivation switch configured to switch the medical device between an inactive state and an active state in response to the trigger signal.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system for providing communication within a patient's body, comprising:
    a first implant including a first acoustic transducer; and
    a second implant, including:
    an electrical circuit configured for performing one or more commands;
    an acoustic switch coupled to the electrical circuit and operable to activate the second implant between an active state and a dormant state;
    a second acoustic transducer coupled to the switch and configured to receive one or more acoustic signals transmitted from the first acoustic transducer, wherein the acoustic switch closes and causes the second implant to change from the dormant state to the active state in response to the one or more acoustic signals from the first acoustic transducer; and
    a sensor coupled to the electrical circuit, the sensor configured for measuring at least one physiological parameter within the body and transmitting a physiological data signal to the first implant when the second implant is in the active state.
