摘要: A system for monitoring and/or affecting parameters of a patient's body and more particularly to such comprised control unit (SCU) one or other devices, preferably battery-powered, implanted in the body, i.e., within envelope defined by skin. Each device is configured be monitored controlled SCU via wireless communication channel. In accordance with invention, comprises programmable capable (1) transmitting commands at least some plurality devices (2) receiving data signal from those devices. preferred embodiment, operates closed loop fashion whereby transmitted are dependent, part, on content signals received SCU. similarly implemented as being beneath skin, having an axial dimension less than 60 mm lateral 6 mm. Wireless between modulated sound signal, AC magnetic field, RF electric conduction.
