First Claim
Patent Images
1. An external programmer adapted for communicating with an implanted biostimulator system comprising:
- an interface configured for coupling to at least two electrodes adapted to make electrical contact with body skin for communicating with at least one implanted biostimulator;
bidirectional communication pathways coupled to the interface configured for bidirectional communication with the at least one implanted biostimulator and comprising a receiving pathway and a processor configured to sense an electrocardiogram with the at least two electrodes and to decode information encoded on pulses generated by the at least one implanted biostimulator and conducted through body tissue and received by the receiving pathway with the at least two electrodes.

Abstract
A biostimulator system comprises one or more implantable devices and an external programmer configured for communicating with the implantable device or devices via bidirectional communication pathways comprising a receiving pathway that decodes information encoded on stimulation pulses generated by ones of the implantable device or devices and conducted through body tissue to the external programmer.
