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 configurable;
a second medical device configured for implantation internally within the body, wherein the second medical device includes a second processor that is 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 is configured to be wearable or affixed to the skin, wherein the electronic patch medical device includes a processor and wherein 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 send information used for control of 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, and wherein the mobile device is configured to store the human body parameter data acquired by the one or more medical devices and communicate with a display, and wherein each device has a unique identifier, andwherein the mobile device is further configured to require authentication to access the acquired human body parameter data.
