1. An implantable device system comprising:

  • an implantable device for controlling at least one of a shape and a size of a heart valve annulus, the implantable device including;

    an arcuate body; and

    a sensor system configured to be coupled to the implantable device, the sensor system including;

    a first sensor configured to measure physiological data when the implantable device is implanted into the valve annulus; and

    a second sensor configured to measure physiological data when the implantable device is implanted into the valve annulus, the first sensor configured to measure data at an inflow portion of the valve annulus and the second sensor configured to measure data at an outflow portion of the valve annulus;

    wherein the first sensor includes a first coupling element extending therefrom and the second sensor includes a second coupling element extending therefrom, at least one of the first and second coupling elements being configured to attach to the implantable device,wherein a wire ring is coupled to the arcuate body and configured to attach to at least one of the first and second coupling elements.
