1. A system comprising:
- a first medical device configured for implantation internally within a body, wherein the first medical device includes a first processor that is dynamically configurable;
a second medical device configured for implantation internally within the body, wherein the second medical device includes a second processor that is dynamically configurable, wherein, the first medical device and the second medical device are coupled firming a network including at least the first medical device and the second medical device;
an external electronic patch medical device, wherein the electronic patch medical device includes a processor and where the electronic patch medical device is configured for communication, wherein the electronic patch medical device is further configured to sense one or more environmental parameters external to the body and to control one or more or the medical devices in response to the one or more environmental parameters; and
a remote server separate from the electronic patch medical device, wherein the electronic patch medical device is coupled to at least the first medical device and is further coupled to the remote server;
wherein each device is optimized for proximate or distant communication with one another and are linked through a defined relationship based on a unique identifier of each device.

22. A method of controlling communication within a formed network, comprising;
-
dynamically configuring a first medical device configured for implantation internally within a body, wherein the first medical device includes a first processor; and dynamically configuring a second medical device configured for implantation internally within the body, wherein the second medical device includes a second processor; forming a network including at least the first medical device and the second medical device, the network comprising a coupling between the first medical device and the second medical device, wherein each device comprises a unique profile such that communication between the devices is controlled via identification of the unique profile; sensing one or more environmental parameters external to the body via an electronic patch medical device configurable with a communication protocol and worn upon the body; and controlling one or more of the implanted medical devices with the electronic patch medical device in response to the sensed one or more environmental parameters. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
