    摘要: An implantable medical device includes an acoustic transducer for intra-body communication with another medical device via an acoustic couple. The acoustic transducer includes one or more piezoelectric transducers. In one embodiment, an implantable medical device housing contains a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device and an acoustic communication circuit. The acoustic transducer is electrically connected to the acoustic communication circuit to function as an acoustic coupler and physically fastened to a wall of the implantable housing, directly or via a supporting structure.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a system for deriving physiologic measurement values that are relative to ambient conditions. In one embodiment, the system comprises an implantable medical device (“IMD”), an external computing device, and a backend computing system. The IMD determines a physiologic parameter value within a patient's body, and communicates the physiologic parameter value outside the patient's body, for example, to the external computing device. Further, the external computing device receives the physiologic parameter from the IMD and communicates it to the backend computing system. The backend computing system receives the physiologic parameter value and obtains an ambient condition value outside the body. The backend computing system then calculates a relative physiologic parameter value from the ambient condition value and the physiologic parameter value, and in some embodiments, stores the relative physiologic parameter value in a storage location, such as a memory or database.

Further, the external computing device receives the absolute physiologic parameter from the IMD and communicates it to the backend computing system. The backend computing system receives the absolute physiologic parameter value and obtains an ambient condition value outside the body that can affect the absolute physiologic parameter value. The backend computing system then calculates a relative physiologic parameter value from the ambient condition value and the absolute physiologic parameter value, and in some embodiments, stores the relative physiologic parameter value in a storage location, such as a memory or database.

The acoustic transducer includes one or more piezoelectric transducers. In one embodiment, an implantable medical device housing contains a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device and an acoustic communication circuit. The acoustic transducer is electrically connected to the acoustic communication circuit to function as an acoustic coupler and physically fastened to a wall of the implantable housing, directly or via a supporting structure. In one embodiment, the implantable medical device receives an incoming acoustic signal from the other medical device, detects an error rate associated with the incoming acoustic signal, and adjusts a carrier frequency for an outgoing acoustic signal to be transmitted to the other medical device using the error rate.
