Voice control system for an implant
First Claim
1. A system for supplying energy to a medical device implanted in a mammal patient, the system comprising:
- an external energy source adapted to be externally arranged to the patient'"'"'s body and configured to wirelessly transmit energy for powering the medical device;
an internal energy receiver adapted to be implanted in the patient'"'"'s body and configured to receive energy, transmitted from the external energy source, for supplying energy or control signals to the medical device;
a control unit configured to control the amount of energy received by the internal energy receiver, wherein said control unit is configured to control based on a parameter indicating a characteristic of the medical device or a characteristic of the patient'"'"'s condition, wherein the parameter is one of a body temperature of the patient, a blood pressure of the patient, a heart rate of the patient and a parameter indicating a breathing of the patient.
