MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring and/or performing a diagnosis, comprisinga first implantable device for measuring a property of a first tissue in a body and having a housing, the housing including:
- a first processing circuitry for causing the first implantable device to measure the property of the first tissue using at least one of the following;
an RF measurement of the property of the first tissue or an analysis of a signal reflected from the first tissue, wherein the signal is transmitted by the first implantable device toward the first tissue;
a second implantable device for measuring a property of a second tissue in the body and having a housing, the housing including a second processing circuitry for causing the second implantable device to measure the property of the second tissue using at least one sensor;
the second implantable device is communicatively coupled to the first implantable device and provides information about the measured property of the second tissue to at least one of the following;
the first implantable device and at least one processing device disposed externally to the body.

Abstract
An apparatus, a system, and a method for monitoring and/or performing a diagnosis. A first implantable device measures a property of a first tissue in a body and includes a housing. The housing includes a first processing circuitry for causing the first implantable device to measure the property of the first tissue. A second implantable device for measures a property of a second tissue in the body and includes a housing. The housing includes a second processing circuitry for causing the second implantable device to measure the property of the second tissue using at least one sensor. The second implantable device is communicatively coupled to the first implantable device and provides information about the measured property of the second tissue to at least one of the following: the first implantable device and at least one processing device disposed externally to the body.
