1. A system for monitoring at least one biological tissue of a patient during a period of at least 24 hours, comprising:
- an implantable intrabody probe and an extrabody probe which propagate an electromagnetic (EM) signal, using an antenna, via at least one tissue therebetween, in a plurality of sessions during a period of at least 24 hours;
a processing unit which analyses said EM signal to detect a change in at least one biological parameter of said at least one tissue; and
an output unit which outputs said change.

Abstract
A system for monitoring at least one biological tissue of a patient during a period of at least 24 hours. The system comprises an implantable intrabody probe and an extrabody probe which propagate an electromagnetic (EM) signal, using an antenna, via at least one tissue therebetween, in a plurality of sessions during a period of at least 24 hours, a processing unit which analyses the EM signal to detect a change in at least one biological parameter of the at least one tissue, and an output unit which outputs the change.

36. A system for monitoring at least one biological tissue of a patient, comprising an implantable intrabody probe, the implantable intrabody probe comprising:
-
a transmitter which propagates an electromagnetic (EM) signal, using an antenna, via at least one tissue; a receiver which intercepts a reflection of said EM signal from said at least one tissue; a processing unit which analyses said reflection to detect a change in at least one biological parameter of said at least one tissue; and a communication unit which transfers a message, based on said change, to an extrabody unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 30, 31)

42. A method for monitoring at least one biological tissue of a patient, comprising:
-
implanting an implantable intrabody probe in an intrabody area of a patient; propagating an electromagnetic (EM) signal via at least one tissue; intercepting EM signal; analyzing said propagated EM signal to detect a change in at least one biological parameter of said at least one tissue; and wirelessly transferring a message, based on said change, to an extrabody unit. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 43, 44)
