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 forming 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 fir 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 of the medical devices in response to the one or more environmental parameters; and
a non-transitory computer implemented application on a remote server or a mobile device separate from the electronic patch medical device, wherein the electronic patch medical device is configured to communicate to at least the first medical device and is further configured to communicate to the remote server or mobile device;
wherein each device has a unique identifier.

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 identifier such that communication between the devices is controlled via identification of the unique identifier; sensing one or more environmental parameters external to the body via a wearable medical device configurable with a communication protocol and worn upon the body; and controlling one or more of the implanted medical devices with the wearable device in response to the sensed one or more environmental parameters. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
