Abstract
Medical systems and devices are provided. 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.
