1. A method for interaction with a medical device that is implanted in a body of a patient, the method comprising:

  • detecting, using an inertial sensor, an arcuate motion of a wireless communication device at a velocity in the range of 20-200 cm/sec, with abrupt deceleration terminating in physical contact between the wireless communication device and the body;

    in response to the detected arcuate motion, actuating a wireless communication link between the wireless communication device and a transmitter in the implanted medical device; and

    receiving in the wireless communication device data transmitted over the wireless communication link by the transmitter,wherein the inertial sensor is adapted to actuate the wireless communication only in response to an arcuate motion of a wireless communication device at a velocity in the range of 20-200 cm/sec,wherein abrupt deceleration occurs when the velocity of the wireless communication device decreases from at least 20 cm/sec to zero in 100 ms or less.
